I love Pep but I agree with every word of this.We will go there and win.
I honestly feel Pep weighs the team down when "its a biggy" by telling them over and over again "make no mistakes"
Its like telling a good boxer to forget about their own attributes and (over)concentrate on your opponent.
My back up for this conclusion is before every derby.
He waxes lyrical about the rags, history trophies strength blah blah and we fall flat on our faces.
But when City need to play, and relax then we are on paper the best team in Europe.
My only advice to Pep would be, stop playing chess in your head out of respect for these clubs and go let our lads do what 99% of the time they normally do...play with freedom and win

I actually thought it was Darke who was doing his best to ensure that City fans wouldn't enjoy the night. Jenas was politely reminding him that we won and were the better team.

Fair enough mate. Is funny how we all see it slightly differently. I have a similar hatred for Tyler, the amount of sly digs in just one game against us is ridiculous.Her indoors wasn't really watching the game but she said " bloody hell how happy do they sound now Dortmund have scored"
Darke and Jenas want fucking off.. They are absolutely a pair of twats..
Jenas was almost crying when ref gave us the penalty.. That's not a pen.. It cant be.. If it was the dippers or the rags he would be saying it was a nailed on pen.

Exactly. At this stage in the competition there is no such thing as an easy game an any team will punish your mistakes. Luckily tonight we got away with the Ederson mistake but not the Walker error.At this level one lapse can be the difference between lifting the trophy or not. Edersons mistake , Rodri's wayward passes and Walker not picking up the man behind him, all meet that test.
They have to be cut out completely because as you said all it takes is one and your eliminated.

spot on! it will take a lot more than that tonight to even things out!Forgive me for not giving a fuck about the disallowed goal for Dortmund.
Bad decisions against us -
vs Monaco - Serge no pen /no red card when fouled when clean through.
vs Liverpool - Offside opening goal, wrongly ruled offside goal for Jesus, no pen for a foul on Sterling, wrongly ruled offside goal for Sane.
vs Spurs - Handball winner - Another replay not shown to the official showed the ball hit the scorers elbow.
vs Lyon - Laporte fouled in the build up to Lyon going ahead.

We should treat the return leg as a one-off game starting from a clean slate: we win or we draw and we go through (and if we lose, we might get lucky and go through anyway).No, 3-2 and we win on away goals
Rubbish, Rodri’s position is key to how we play and why we have got to where we are this season. He wasn’t great tonight, as weren’t othersRodri

Ah the usual "Happy Clapper Brigade".I must have been watching a different game.
FFS the lad is one if not the best players in the world but by fuck he was only average tonight ... and he wasn`t alone.
We havnt scored an away goal yet so that's not 'as it stands'.No, 3-2 and we win on away goals
