I want us to go for it tonight; no three in midfield, defensive tactics and sitting back, just a good old fashioned you have a shot we have a shot.

We have nothing to lose, and at the end of the day the only thing that Madrid have over us in the Ronaldo factor, we have enough fire power to score past them and I say just go for it and have an entertaining game of trying to outscore them, what do we have to lose?

I just cannot see the positives in playing a three man central midfield and one striker, our best defensive tactic is our attack. We have in my opinion on a whole, probably the second best striker force in the world after Madrid, 4 top class strikers with the abilty to destroy any opponent, lets try and do that tonight and show the world that next season Man City is going to be the team to watch.

We're not going to exchange shots with them if we do not have the ball.

If we achieve 50% possession we will win. But the biggest threat to us is if we cannot get the ball.
 
The qualification scenario takes a minor glint off the occasion, but it's still Manchester City v Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, in Manchester.

We've dreamt of this for years, now it's time to live it.
 
what pubs in piccadilly are gonna be blue tonight? and what time will they start to fill up + at what time will people head off to the ground?
 
I'm looking forward to watching this, tonight.

I can see Ajax beating Dortmund, personally. I'm just not 100% convinced you'll see of Madrid, maybe a draw. I suppose it depends on how much belief Mancini still holds in this competition and his starting line up will give us a suggestion of that.

For me, I'd go for...

.....................Hart.....................
Maicon..Kompany..Nastasic..Kolorov
..............Garcia...Yaya................
.....Silva........Tevez.....Nasri.........
...................Aguero....................

I wouldn't be surprised to see....

.....................Hart.....................
.....Zaba.....Kompany...Nastasic.....
Maicon.............................Kolorov
.............Garcia......Yaya..............
.....................Silva.....................
.............Aguero.....Dzeko.............
 
When projecting tonights line-up you HAVE TO consider Chelski game...

If Mancini values Chelski game more - either Tevez or Aguero will sit tonight and Dzeko will start. If not then one of them sits Saturday...

Playing them 3 full games in 7 days would be insane.

As Kolorov will be playing, it'd make sense to play Dzeko, surely.
