Try to get Pep to overthink or change his lineup

No manager is changing his lineup because the opposition puts out the exact XI everyone expected them to.

People on here seem to think lineups should be state secrets. In other sports releasing them 2 days ahead is not uncommon and no one ever changes the plan they’ve worked on for a week because of it.
 
It's very rare to go to a city game not having a fucking clue what's going to happen, you usually have a feeling which way it will go, I am honest enough to admit I have no idea. We could overrun them or their front 3 could terrorise our defence with pace.
Fuck it, beats west brom away on a winters night.
 
These have got no centre backs have they? They’re going to sit deeper than Katy Price’s fadge to protect their vulnerability.

We need to recover our lost possession high up the pitch well and not let them loose to counter attack us best we can.
 
Aside from winning, we also have to get their players banned for the return leg, particularly their defensive minded ones even if it means subbing on somebody late on who isn't in danger for us just to go start an argument with them and get a booking a piece. It will be a real naive approach not to ensure we eliminate the likes of tchouameni and camavinga from the second leg.
 
Have to start strong. None of these fucking messing around the back four with shit passes. There’s gonna be nervous energy in the crowd if that happens and Madrid will feed on it. I’m pretty confident if we start the game well we’ll grow into it. 3–1 city
 
We have to win this by 3 clear goals tonight I think - anything less and the spanish w*nkers will contrive to beat us by three at their place and then stuff us on penalties
 
Their make shift back line will want our usual buildup and side to side passing, ours is fucked at the slightest sign of pace and directness. I don't think their injuries will be that big of a miss

I don't think the margin needs to be so big. A win is essential though because I can't see us winning in Madrid.

My heart says "Go on, do what you did to them on the way to the treble! Hit them hard, hit them fast and fuck 'em right up before they've even had a chance to know they're in a match"

My head's shaking from side to side and pissing itself :)

I don't think we'll see a performance like that again. That was pinnacle! Literal perfection.

anyone know how to get this game in India? I'm stuck in Bangalore 5 and half hours ahead so that 8 o'clock kickoff is going to be 1.30AM for me :-(

In my experience of India it will be on in shops and food places. Mooch about til you see a few lads sat outside. If you find somewhere you'll be very welcome. Jealous.

Not just saying it with my blue tinted glasses on, It's the best performance I've ever seen from any team, We were absolutely incredible! To put in a performance like that against a team is amazing, To do it to the Champions Of Europe Real Madrid was unbelievable.

Absolutely no team on the planet would have got near us that night, Total dominance. I've never seen football like it in my life.
