I think we've been playing within ourselves for the last few games but it's crunch time now and I think we're going to turn it up a few notches and show people that we are far superior team than people realise.Season defining this week

I thought the same but Pep seems pretty confident and I’m sure the players will be too.I'd take going out if we then win the title and the FA Cup,we played the first game all wrong imo
I don't think he will make wholesale changes.Don't be surprised to see Delph at left back again and some other bizarre starters like Mahrez, Otamendi, Danilo etc. Nothing would surprise me after that first leg.
Yep - you and I had similar thoughts on the first game I think. Still, Pep's a genius and I am not, so here's hoping.I'd take going out if we then win the title and the FA Cup,we played the first game all wrong imo
It’s your opinion ,based on nothing but negative paranoiaI'll probably get flamed for this but I think we're going out. I think we'll completely dominate them for 95 minutes and probably score a couple of goals. But I think they'll get one as well and I don't think we'll get 3.
So that means we will try harder on Wednesday?The norm here when playing a team back to back, is that if you beat them in the first game they will try even harder in the following game.
We are going to have to be totally at our best for these next 2 against spurs, and then throw in the derby at the swamp
So that means we will try harder on Wednesday?
Agree except for Sané. The mainstay wingers are now Sterling and Bernardo. Sané would be in the 2nd list of players stepping in now and then to support the other guys. Whether that’s what he deserves to be is a whole other issue, but that’s where Pep sees him right now.I don't think he will make wholesale changes.
I think the mainstays like Ederson, Walker, Laporte, Fernandinho, D Silva, B Silva, De Bruyne, Sterling, Sane, Aguero, etc., will start virtually every game now with a bit of rotation here and there.
I can't see Delph starting another game this season but other than that, whether it's Danilo, Mendy, Otamendi, Kompany, Stones, Gundogan, Mahrez or Jesus coming in to the team, they are all top quality options to call upon and won't let us down. We have an incredible squad.
Yeah you're probably right, I think I put him in the first list subconsciously because I want him to start every game.Agree except for Sané. The mainstay wingers are now Sterling and Bernardo.

If KDB plays his A game its all or nothing.
He HAS to play.Leeeeeeroy. It's his time...
Bernie is better central. Against Liverpool he had an engine like no other.Agree except for Sané. The mainstay wingers are now Sterling and Bernardo.

I prefer him central too, but Pep has a huge amount of faith in Silva, KDB and Gundogan for 2 available positions (when Fernandinho is playing) but only has 100% faith in two of our wingers. So Bernardo has to play on the right more than we’d all like.Bernie is better central. Against Liverpool he had an engine like no other.
