City v Arsenal semi-final pre-match thread

[SWP's back]

We were talking about penalties actually

You said "he needs to be playing", were you specifically talking about being a fourth sub in extra time for the shoot out?

Sorry if already asked .... any good Streams?

I think our game plan today should be to score more goals than Arsenal while remaining tight at the back.

Gizza job Sky

You know i would rather he play,we will be facing loads of shots and he is a better shot stopper and penalty saver

The best team on the day will win.

Its a big occasion and the big players need to step up.

This one could go to pens, but I'm not sure that will be on Pep's mind when picking the lineup.

Last time out against Arsenal he went for shock value. We had Navas at full back for the first time and basically blitzed them for the first twenty minutes before they found their groove. Not taking our chances was, as is the story of our season, the reason we ultimately came away with only a draw.

Hard to predict how he'll set things up this time, but I don't see us going through the entire game without GJ making an appearance. Hell, maybe he'll even start, just for more of that shock value.

'this is our roundabout'

I think whoever can take the most of their chances will probably end up the winners........

 

[snorky]

If we can keep a clean sheet and score lots we will probably win this game easily

It feels really strange to have a 3pm game to watch on the box

 

[Damocles]

Let's be clear here, we need to make sure that we concede less goals than them if you want any chance of winning

I'm sure somebody will disagree with you Kaz.

They need to give 110% for the other lads on this big pitch.

For BOTH halves, after all it is a game of two halves.

It's a strategy I hope Pep really contemplates and takes to heart
