How worried are you about the CL?

Like if we get past Kiev (which we 100% should do now), how worried are you about us coming up against a world class side given our form against half decent Premier League sides. Or do we have it in us to surprise the best? Genuine thoughts...

Worrying about facing Barca or Bayern again? No, I'm more worried about whether we'll be in the CL next season.

What do you specifically disagree with?

Daily Mail could care fuck all for City - whereas I'm 100% for my team.

But realistically - if we survive TMD this season, it'll be a miracle.
 
Worried? No way ,it's a good opportunity for humble pie for our super stars and world class manager.
Worried when we can't beat Norwich.

Cannot see us progress beyond Kiev. Like you said, this team currently cannot even beat Norwich, the fuck are we going to do against any of the other teams that are still in the Champions League?

It doesn't work like that. United got beat off Norwich but were more than capable of beating Liverpool, who ravaged us.

Kiev is a quality side. I'd rate our chances of advancing 50-50 - because, Kiev will be up for it, and we won't.

We'll stumble through the game - and The Master Demotivator - will be clueless as to how to change the game; he'll make bizarre substitutions which will negatively impact our chances of winning.

And... by the way - strategic genius that TMD is - he'll fucking start 442. Up big time against an "on paper" inferior rival - it's gonna be fucking 442.

50-50 that we advance - and I'm honestly hoping that we don't - we need to 100% concentrate on a top-4 finish in the BPL this year. Who the hell cares whether or not we advance, this year, in the CL; we have zero chance of winning it.

Kyiv isn't a quality side, they're awful compared to the other teams who got into the last 16. We dominated the game over there and could have won by 5/6 goals. you're seriously giving us a 50-50 chance of conceding 3 goals at home to Kyiv without any return from ourselves? I would bet my life savings with those odds if there was a bookie stupid enough to offer them.

He'll start 442, yes you're right. That's because they're going to have to press us so it gives us more counter attacking options, we'll score a couple of goals and play more attractive football. There is no need for 3 CDM's in a home game against a weak team when we're 3-1 up.

Why do we need to focus on finishing top 4 if you don't like the CL? In what way would that bother you if we finished 5th?

We don't have 0 chance of winning it. Chelsea were worse than us when they won it, Liverpool probably thought they had 0 chance at 0-3. We finished top of our group (which was tougher than all the other English teams groups), we got a good draw, we could get another one.

Just chill out, we'll go through tonight, we could all be looking forward to a sunny week away in Lisbon in a couple of days time!

I think you underestimate Kyiv - they're good (not as compared to say the top 16 squads in the world, but they're no pushovers).

> Why do we need to focus on finishing top 4 - I like the CL; a lot. But if we don't finish top 4 in the BPL, our UEFA coefficient will go down and our ability to recruit will take a hit (ameliorated somewhat by the fact that we'll have one of the best managers in the world).

> Chelsea were worse than us - yes, they sucked. But Chelsea knew they sucked. They "parked the bus" and played 100% defensively seeking to strike on the counter. Moreover, I didn't think at amy point that Chelsea weren't motivated. Chelsea's odds of winning were incredibly small; ours, are far worse.
 
Not at all worried. Just looking forward to it.
It's a knock out and anything could happen - better to look forward than to worry anyway ; helps you live longer

Snap, I fall into this category, soon as we face one of the big three we are curtains, I don't get this shit about getting past the quarters as something to celebrate- you celebrate when you win it.

hmmm, I'm pretty certain you have to get past the quarter finals to win it, or is that one of the new fangled changes they are introducing?

When you've got your bunting out for your street party after Barca,Bayern,Atletico or Madrid have knocked us out let me know and I will nip round for a slice of pork pie and a piece of cake.
 
Not when we have a full squad to choose from. if we have managala and Demichelis it would be carnage but with Kompany and Otmanedi/Mangala its a world of difference.Plus throw in KDB and i wouldnt be worried.

Are you saying that you won't celebrate if we win tonight?
After that, who knows? Luck of the draw, 4 good games and we're in the final. As bad as we were at finishing off Norwich on Saturday, 2 away performances like that in the CL against any of them would put us in a pretty good position.
