where are you blues meeting up in Paris? its not a city i know so would appreciate some advice
 
Understandebly loads of positive comments after Saturday's game. But if any we have been extremely inconsistent and very poor against good opposition. If we were on a run of good results I might have been more optimistic. PSG are indeed no Barca, Real, or Bayern. They have however a much better record in the CL than us. This years we seem to be better away than at home so if any we need to get a result it's now. It's a knock-out round and the better team doesn't always get through.

Mangala loves to play one-on-one and isn't afraid of a physical battle, so I'm not too worried him playing Ibrahimovitch. Yaya out might be a blessing as it'll automatically means the two Ferns will protect our defence. I'd still play these two if Yaya is fit and put Yaya behind Aguero. Navas could hurt Maxwell with his pace and does help defensively. KdB to start on the bench as he is able to fill in for any of Navas, Yaya or Silva.

They've had easier groups and less stresses domestically but their record over the last 3 seasons is pretty much the same as ours: knocked out by Barca, knocked out by Barca, knocked out by Chelsea vs knocked out by Barca, knocked out by Barca, knocked out by BVB and Real. I'm sure we'd have progressed to the quarters earlier if only Porto and Olympiakos has stood in the way.
 
I wonder if Manu Garcia starting last night suggests either Toure or Delph might be fit enough for the bench?

Or was he substituted after 65 minutes so that he could join up with the first team squad?

Guess we'll find out soon enough.
 
Have I missed summat regards hart,is there a chance he may play?

Caballero started between the sticks in their 4-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday, but does not know yet if he is facing the Ligue 1 giants.

“He said: “I haven't spoken to the manager about Paris, as we don't know about Joe's recovery.

““I just tried to enjoy the game against Bournemouth and hopefully if I get the opportunity it will be a big chance for me to play in Paris.

““It won't be easy whoever plays. Paris are a big team, already the French champions, with some massive players.

““But we must be ready because this is what happens in the quarter-finals of the Champions League – you are sure to face a big club with amazing players.””

It's looking like a really stupid decision to take Nasri out of the squad

He still looks a couple of weeks from full fitness. It was good to see him back against Bournmouth but he looked way off the pace in a game that was already well won. Hopefully he'll be sharp and ready to go sooner rather than later.
 
I think having Willy in goal could be a blessing in disguise. Seeing as we'll only have about 40% possession his distribution could be key in setting off counter attacks.

And Joe probably still has nightmares about Ibrahimovic
 
Are City playing in the champions league tomorrow? Or has the champions league been cancelled this year? Shame on the rag infested media again..no press build up coverage on the only English team left in the competition.

Expected. I'm sure the same sort of coverage will ensue for the Dortmund v Liverpool game.

It's pretty common knowledge La Liga is a soft league and PSG rule it by far. So they can easily rest players, play parts of the game in 3rd or 4th gear and still finish top of the league. Yes, we have been dealing with difficult groups as well, still I expected us to do better. It's all been said mate and I ould have simply summed up the bloody obvious. Still, their overall record is better and they have been in the QF before. We are getting better every year, however step by step, conceiding far too easily and with a poor homerecord. That's why PSG are clear favorites. Our recent form doesn't indicate we can expect a run of decent results. One awaytrip to sunny Bournemouth won't change that. But let's hope that run starts tonight.

To be honest with the correct team selection and the right tactics on the night I see no resson why we cant come away with a decent result. I think they will be a shade favourites and that suits me fine. The players will need no motivation for a semi final place and I really feel we can progress with a bit of luck on our side.

Haven't we wished this the whole season?
