After last night this is a huge game.

Hope pep goes with best team. Make subs when 3 up. We can’t afford to swap 4 / 5 players

It’s their cup final this & playing for their positions & the league.

This won’t be easy

Happily, I think thats Peps MO now. Go strong and ease off second half, essentially playing 60 mins

Rodri doesn’t need a rest, he thrives on playing and didn’t look tired at all to me. Pep is resting the players wisely, I think he’s given them the day off training again today. Instead of over training them they are getting their training in matches.

Meanwhile over at the emirates arsenal are getting trained day in and day out in how to sit down and disrupt football matches

Did you see his interview after the game? Not a bead of sweat on him. Looked fresh as a dasiy

We need him rested and ready for Bayern away leg.

I want to see Bernardo in the midfield in the second leg and Mahrez on the right wing ‘cause Bayern is going to crazily attack from the first second and Mahrez is really good when playing counter attack like he used to at Leicester!

And for the Leicester game I wish to see this line-up

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Laporte
Ake
Rodri
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Mahrez
Alvarez
Haaland

And then subs to come in (depending on the game ofc) Grealish, Rico and Kalvin

 

[Fordyboy46]

Ederson, Walker, Laporte, Stones, Gomez, Phillips, Mahrez, Gundogan, Grealish, Bernardo, Alvarez

City 2 Leicester 1

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Ederson, Walker, Laporte, Stones, Gomez, Phillips, Mahrez, Gundogan, Grealish, Bernardo, Alvarez

City 2 Leicester 1

That's to close for comfort Fordy

 

[Gorbachev]

Ederson, Walker, Laporte, Stones, Gomez, Phillips, Mahrez, Gundogan, Grealish, Bernardo, Alvarez

City 2 Leicester 1

Far too much rotation.

That team gets beat by this Leicester team with a new manager in last chance saloon.

Strongest team then hopefully rotate second half ready for Bayern.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Never mind the Champions League, Leicester have embarrassed us more than once, time to give them a good humiliation, don’t hold back they are there for the taking

 

[Ducado]

We really are having trouble getting rid of the typical City mentality, here we are 2nd in the PL shooting for the title just beaten the best team in Germany, and some of us are worried about playing a team who are really struggling this season

We are firing on all cylinders at the moment, that’s not arrogance it’s reality, if the team turn up we will win no doubt about, they know how important this game is

 

[BringBackSwales]

We need him rested and ready for Bayern away leg.

This game is our most important
After that the Bayern game is most important
After that the Sheff utd game is….

When we get in this kind of rhythm players like Bernardo dont need resting, and he has hardly been over played

 

[wythenshaweblue£££]

Need to go as strong as possible for this one we can’t afford any slip ups against Leicester.
