City v Celtic - Pre-match thread

I hope so. A few goals and end to end stuff. We're out, but we are hopefully progressing. This game is a chance to move further a bit. Or, at the very least identify immediately players who don't have bottle.
 
As much as I love Sergio he must not play in the game, starting or on the bench and I'll give you 3 reasons.
1. Kelechi will have to lead the line for 4 PL games and he clearly needs more game time to get in the rhythm so he has to start. And there is no point in playing two up front if thats not the way we're going to play for the next 4 games.
2. He would be a target to be wound up by Celtic (legitimate tactic) and the prospect of a CL last 16 without him isn't very appealing!
3. Perhaps most importantly, he needs to understand that no matter what the provocation he just can't do what he did on Saturday, so leave him out of the match day squad as a little reminder that its not acceptable.
 
Don't get me wrong, being on the end of a hiding won't be a shock. Even if you sent 11 second string I guarantee they cist you at least 20 times what our players cost us.
As Einstien put it. It's all relative.

if we put up a show against you, questions have to be asked of your recruiting. It would seem you maybe paying over the odds, because on a financial basis it shouldn't be a contest at all. And neither should have the first game.

In all fairness the first game wouldn't have been, had you not changed the game by scoring an offside goal after three minutes.
 
PEP: There will be changes. I am happy to give minutes to players who deserve it. Whether Sergio will play, I will decide today or tomorrow
 
CABALLERO: I would feel very good if I did (start the game), I’m ready, as we did in last game at home against Barca

CABALLERO: I think just playing in #UCL is a big motivation, We have to respect this kind of game, we have to be focused.

CABALLERO: It’s a shame for us (Aguero ban) but it’s no time now to talk about that we have to turn the page and focus on the next game.

You must see the same accusations every week from opposition fans in league your club "compete" in.

It was very close. But what happened to the striker getting the advantage? It happened so fast and a lot worse goals have stood.

I think we deserved a point. But I'm biased.
