Even though we have a nice rest and this is a must win, we still need to manage the squad.
I'd start with Walker, Stones, Kev and Bernie on the bench.
Ederson
Akanji
Dias
Ake
Gvardiol
Rodri
Kovacic
Doku
Foden
Grealish
Haaland
3-1 to us
COME ON CITY!!!
There will need to be rotation, but I'd start Eddie and hopefully Stones and Ake are fit to start. I think we'll need to match their workman-like midfield so i'd deffo start Rodri too.
Ederson
Lewis
Stones
Ake
Gvardiol
Nunes
Rodri
Kovacic
Bobb
Alvarez
Doku
I'm still pissed off that we went out, but we played alright and dominated them.
Some of our passing and build up play was a bit sloppy but we just didn't take our chances!
I am confident we'll win the rest now though.
History is within our grasp - COME ON CITY!
I went for Akanji.
He was everywhere but the whole defence played well (apart from the goal - Walker!)
Grealish had a good game but he needs to use his pace more and really attack the fullback. We've seen him do it, he just needs to do it more and consistently. It causes havoc - see Doku!
A shit result of the tie tonight!
But, we didn't lose the game and yet again, came up against a team who parked the bus! Tonight also showed the element of luck needed in the CL.
So it's the title and 4 in a row now and also The Double!!
We are more than capable and i'm sure Pep will remind...
