[Theengelbert]

Gundogan and Zinchenko for Cancelo and Mahrez.

Nah don’t change a thing, all going to plan so far.

 

[discopop]

Apart from the Casemiro bollocks the refs not been too bad, Raz for Mahrez please.

 

[blue cigar]

Still not nervous, we have to collapse for that team to beat us by 2 goals, it's far more likely we win this game as the space appears

 

[Tom Connolly]

45 minutes away from history. COME ON CITY.

 

[oldhamblue]

I'd be inclined to play Mahrez on the left, Jesus on the right and Phil down the middle

 

[I'm With Stupid]

City are 1-0 up, let’s not forget that, they need to score, we don’t … We will though.. We need to keep it tight again for the first 20 mins of the second half, they will panic if so and City will fuck em up..!!

If we can put the chances away.

 

[Damanino]

our corners are shit big time, why not cross it in for a straight header like vs Leeds for Rodri

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Below par but still 4 shots on target to 0 and still ahead

Only because Benzema has been so wasteful.

 

[M Gaudino]

giving away far too many corners and casually wasting counter attacking opportunities.

hopefully a bit more organisation and discussion at half time sorts us out - it often does

 

[BringBackSwales]

Controlled the first half at one of the toughest away grounds in the world, the toughest based on El BT’s pre match Madrid love-in, well done City, keep it up.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Happy enough with that half, little bit open to start with, but better as the half went on. One goal for us should be enough to get this over the line.

Wish we'd hurry up and score it. This is not too good for my nerves.

 

[Burtonblue]

Sterling on for Mahrez please Pep

 

[RayCTID]

Need the whole team tuned in to the work rate levels required.
Some are there.
Some noticeably are not.

Can't fault the work rate to be honest but they do look just a tad nervy. Kev is looking a little off

 

[Don Karleone]

This ref isn't bent.

How is Casemiro still on the pitch then?

 

[Mattyc55]

Walker and Bernardo our best players by a mile. Some of the other lads need to step up big time.

 

[DruntBlunt]

Bernie hat-trick coming up.

 

[super_city_si]

Sterling for mahrez. They are pressing so we need An option to hit the channel and have pace to chase it.

 

[blueballs84]

Sterling for Mahrez.

 

[vicblueman]

Jesus & foden to score 2nd half .

 

[Dobsy]

Sterling on for Mahrez please Pep

I think he'll wait til the game gets a bit stretched for that
