There is a reason you think of things nobody else has

He’s the dink that thinks that I’m Algerian because I have the word Palestine in my moniker - there’s definitely something lacking there - I kid you not.

Not one person has said so but I personally think that Fernandinho would dominate a game like this.

That’s because most people on here don’t actively will us to lose every game like you do - they tend to make suggestions that are motivated by improving the likelihood of us winning, but I get that’s not really your bag!

If you get frustrated watching a PL side park the bus against us, this lot are the same, x10, and with extra parking on top for good measure. They are a highly disciplined and experienced CL side, do not underestimate them over these two games. I think City will win tonight, by the odd goal and taking out the away goals rule might help us overall.

City 2-1 AM

KDB, Cancelo and Jesus need to be careful, there a yellow away from a suspension I think, cmon City.

I'm expecting the UEFA match official to ensure they are out for the 2nd leg should it be a tight game.

Relax everyone, we've got this.

Do you work for Peleton?

 

[Don Karleone]

Ake at LB

 

[deano ou812]

Lots hugely optimistic and rightly so we are a fantastic side,but claims of 4-0 / 5.0 and being 3.0 at HT are hugely disrespectful to atletico ( even if they do bring the dark arts to football).this tie will be a lot harder than we think and I can even see us getting hugely frustrated if we struggle to break them down ..

Or they find that their plan is to kick lumps out of kdb all night,

KDB false 9 and Ake starts LB (or Stones RB if Ake is central)

 

[razman]

Come on city!

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

No foden or grealish. That's not good

I would take a 2:0 win, i agree this will be tougher than people are predicting.

likely Means Bernardo false 9 which I was worried about

Probably mate, we keep the ball so well they should be ok, just no diving in that’s all.

 

[mancityscot]

Well, the foden part anyway

We will beat them easily, hopefully by 3-4 goals, and then we can rest better in the return leg. I can't wait for the game, and even for the opening show. Only problem is, I've got a headache. I hope I don't get a stroke xd xd.
