I trust we will be professional and manage the game properly. Perhaps some minutes for Bobb and Lewis.
 
I'm not underestimating them; I'm being realistic. We got the best draw of this round of 16. They were poor against us - at their home. They looked a level or 2 below us. I expect a comfortable win at the Etihad - our fortress.
Whilst anything is always possible, if you're worried about going through tonight, it's time to see a therapist - though fanny-wipes are cheaper.

It's important that Rico gets some game time. He needs to keep developing. It's still not absolutely clear what his best position is. Credit to the player who, like Phil, will adapt to wherever he's told to play.

I'd like to see Gomez get a shot at the left sided forward position. I bet he'd get some right blistering crosses in for Haaland. Crosses hit with real pace which cause more danger than those just floated in. He'd also provide a good defensive back up for whoever Pep picks at left back.

Fair points. Hope he at least gets minutes
 
Tough game. We've not looked good recently and have been scraping results - we only looked good against the Rags due to their absolute negative brand of football. Once again Haaland was firing blanks, KdB is still not in great form and Foden looks ok.

This lot will be right up for this and could take advantage of a weakened side if we're thinking of the big game this weekend. They will be fresh after their Winter break and will remember their success in Manchester already this season.

I'd take 1-1 right now and get to the last 8.
