Google Analytics where can i see my 404 landing page URL's?

Hi All,

This is related to SEO.
Google Analytics where can i see my 404 landing page URL's?
Every site has pages that are deleted periodically and we get visits from Google via those broken links. How can i find just those URL's?

Thanks

Google analytics can only see pages that are loaded.  I use both Google Analytics and my own server stats.  You server stats will show what is requested along with errors.  There is an open source project http://piwik.org/ you can use for server stats. It is a lot easier then going through your logs.

What i mean was. Google tracks every page thats visited. So is there any specific report i can filter to see the page URL's and the status it might have got like 404 or 200 etc..
I have always used my server stats for thats kind of info.  

A 404 means that page did not load and therefor no google code is served and no stats.  If you have a custom 404 page that has your analytics code, you would be able to tell that way. The key is something has to load with google's code or you will not get stats on that request.
Yes all pages have the code and even the custom 404 page we show has it
Are you just trying to find pages that could not be found?  You can get that from your webmaster tools reports.   Otherwise, your 404 page with ga code should show up in your ga reports.
Not found is not the ones i want to find
I want to find ones that are being clicked via Google and they land up in my site on a 404 page
If i know the actual URl's that were clicked and returned 404 i could build those links back depending on the traffic i might be loosing
