let's be honest, we're on fire, we're playing better football than the great barca these past few weeks, we make premier league teams look like championship teams..

Don't want to sound cocky at all but that is the reality and I know most of city fans are humble and are still living in fear that they will wake up someday and that the dream will be over... this is real folks, the progress city has made the last year is immense, it's even bigger than chelsea's transformation when the russian took over and they had 2 league titles and a champ league final...

5 1 Dzeko, Silva Aguero Dzeko Cavani Dzeko
 
If barry is fit then we should just go with the team that beat spurs, the whole team will work hard to win the ball back and then just between the 4 world class players up front, we should win 3-0 i think, nasri first goal!
 
Despite the protestations from 'that lot' over at Salford, we're one of the best teams in the world right now based on form. I have a feeling that Napoli will come here to shut up shop and won't offer much attacking wise.

I'm going for a 3-0 City win, Aguero first scorer.

the idea that frankenstein and herman munster could be on the same field together should fill all horror fans with glee, but the really scary thing is the beating we are going to put on napoli

Manchester City - Napoli preview.
Manchester City are finally going to play their first ever game in the Champions League. They're in a difficult group, but they're perfectly capable of getting through it. Their first test is Italian side Napoli, whose front three have gained an incredible reputation for their skill and finishing ability.

City are stressing over the fitness of James Milner and Gareth Barry, who both have late fitness tests on Wednesday ahead of the game itself. Nigel de Jong is missing as well, so we could be forced right down to the bare bones of the midfield. It could also force Mancini to play five at the back.

Mancini does have some positive selection issues up front, though (if positive issues exist). Mario Balotelli is suspended after picking up a straight-red card against Dynamo Kiev in the Europa League in March, so it's between Edin Dzeko, Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero to fill the forward positions. Personally, I think we'll see a front four of Edin Dzeko, Sergio Aguero, Samir Nasri and David Silva. The football those four produce when playing together is out of this world, and with Napoli expected to play just three in defence, it could work to our advantage.

Napoli's main threats are Ezequel Lavezzi, Edinson Cavani and Marek Hamsik, who set Serie A on fire last season and attracted some of Europe's top football clubs, including Barcelona & City!

I think we're going to be in for a shock on Wednesday. City have scored 15 goals in 4 games in the Premier League, but I don't think we're going to have the same freedom against Napoli. Having a manager with Champions League experience and Italian tactical know-how is needed when a situation like this arises, and Roberto Mancini should have all the right moves to dodge Napoli's darts.

I think City will win 2-1. Napoli are a week or two behind in preparation for the new Champions League season, and some of the players we have at our disposal should hopefully carry us through! City's strength in depth is about to be tested for the first time this season, and think we'll be okay.

Hart; Richards, Kompany, Savic, Lescott, Clichy; Yaya Toure, Silva, Nasri; Aguero, Dzeko.

Subs: Pantilimon; Kolarov, Onuoha, Zabaleta; Balotelli, A. Johnson, Tevez.

Had to finish work early. Someone in the office started playing the Champs League music, I was holding it together until then.

Come on City time to show the 'Euro Elite' that we've arrived.
