Hughes - A Very Good Performance

Last updated : 13 March 2009 By Sam
City ended up winning the game 2-0 at Eastlands on Thursday night and the only critisism Hughes had was that they could, and should, have scored more goals.

"Ideally we would like to have put the game to bed," the City boss has said.

"We had enough chances to score more than we did, but we got a positive result and a clean sheet and overall it was a very good European performance.

"Aalborg have to attack us now. I am sure that will provide us with opportunities and if we play as well next week as we did here, it will be very difficult for them.

"We are in good shape. The aim has always been to get through to the next round.

"Once you get through to the quarters and semi-finals, then you can start thinking about winning the whole thing."
