I think it will be a narrow win for us 2-1, the problem being the bin dippers will score an away goal.

I just can't see this team keeping a clean sheet against the dippers after the last two games, it's almost like the old days (pre-Mancini) are back with a vengeance, turning up to a game at home, not knowing what to expect from the team.

Like Pellegrini’s last season.
 
To have two twenty minute collapses in our two arguably biggest games this season? There's a mentality issue, that much is sure at least.
Well isn't this some top tier bullshit. Sure this game was important from an emotional perspective but how the fuck does it come even remotely close to the "most important" game of the season when the result of this game has literally no impact on the rest of the season in tangible terms? Chelsea, Napoli and United away were some of the most important games of the season. Not this shit. We're shitting our pants before Napoli away because they're in incredible form at that point blowing away everyone in Serie A. And that game was followed by Arsenal at home. If we hadn't won that, the fear was that we would lose momentum going into the international break without the rest of top 4 breathing down our necks. Add to that the fact that we had a depleted squad at that time. Winning Napoli away allowed us to send our reserves to Shakhtar which then allowed us to field full strength squad against United away which then allowed us to play at the top level against Spurs at home. Those sequence of games literally was the start of the belief that we're gonna win it this year and beating rags at that point caused them to completely collapse in December, something which they never recovered from. Tired of this fuckin revisionist bullshit.

I said arguably. The game to win the league title going into an incredibly difficult Champions league game is a massive game whether you like it or not and the fact is we bottled it in 20 minutes
 
For us to have a realistic chance i think we need Kun to play and Salah not to. Fingers crossed Salah doesn't make it - they may well get sucked in to playing too negatively without him, which could make things interesting. If Salah and Robertson both miss out and our heads are right, it could go to the wire.

Just have a feeling Kun might have a big say in this.
 
An early goal then a second before half time and it gets very interesting for the second half

If we can sew his leg back on in time
 
Is Salah expected to be fit?

I said after the first leg 3-0 FT and win in ET as they will be fucked (hopefully). One can dream...
