Tuchel looks like an S.S officer from Schindlers list.

Winds me up that Guardiola yet again messes with the formation, not gonna lie

We're better than them but you never know in a game like this. No doubt that will be blamed if we lose though.

Whatever happens tonight blues we all love a wonderful club. Pep and the boys will be trying their best to take the trophy home.

Believe it’s our time. We came through Gillingham & 93.20. We can come through a champions league final.

Come on City.

Pep "the second half will be different than the first", hmm very interesting...

Exactly. Let's not flap!

Nope. Pep is the best manager on the planet, he knows the players far better than any fan and he sees them in training.

Its beyond arrogant to think you know how to pick a side for a football match better than Pep Guardiola so I am 100% content with whatever he picks. The best manager around has picked the side he thinks will give us the best chance of winning. That's good enough for me after 10 trophies in 4 years.

I was a lot more nervous before he announced the team. Now there's no more questions, just have to wait and see.

Hasn't worked for him any other time he's gone down this route.

I'll be staggered if that changes tonight.

Come on blue boys, all we want is for you to actually turn up tonight. Win or lose if we play well I won’t care too much. CTID

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Were going for speed tonight. Just hope we can finish as well.

Looks like the tactics are exploit their slow back line early on.
Pep said he knows how they play, so we must trust him.
Later on, if the game is close or we are being overrun, we can revert to the standard false 9 setup - a fresh Fern DM on (who also has the ability to drive us fwd) and maybe Sterling off - so even though we lose that break pace, the tired legs will see spaces and opportunities regardless.

 

[eastmanc]

Agreed. He’ll be on the pitch at some point I’m sure of it though.

Hopefully to shore up the game.

Feel like I'm on a roller coaster and just noticed the bar isn't across my knees

Lol excellent anology that's me an all
