Manchester City[LNB]boss Mark Hughes will guard against complacency by telling his side not to sit back against Aalborg tonight. [LNB]City hold a 2-0 lead going into the second leg of their UEFA Cup tie in Denmark and Hughes expects the hosts to adopt an attacking approach as they chase the game.[LNB] But he does not want his players to spend 90 minutes soaking up pressure. [LNB][LNB][LNB] City slickers: Hughes with Robinho - the top scorer at Eastlands[LNB]'We'll be positive because we are a positive side, an attackminded-side - but there will be occasions when we have to be solid to give us the platform,' said Hughes.[LNB] 'I'm sure they'll look to score first, try to put some pressure on us and hope the home crowd will get behind them. [LNB]'But, from our point of view, we have got to be really positive and make sure we are nice and solid. They may have to change from their natural game and that is to our advantage. [LNB]'We have to ensure that, if we do get opportunities, we take them. [LNB]'If we get an away goal, that would make it very difficult for Aalborg.'[LNB] The Robinho conundrum: So, why CAN'T he play away?
