Exactly, Lyon can park the bus and play on the counter which is the most successful game plan against us.

We should win but we’ll need to be completely focused and not thinking about the semi final like we did against Arsenal, already thought we’re in the final.

Parking the bus and playing on the counter is in no way the most successful game plan against us.

90% of the time it results in an easy win.

You are vastly overestimating it's success as a tactic because you only remember the shock losses, and not the weekly wins against teams that try it.

In the 20 games where we've made the most passes this season, we've lost 3.

If that's how Lyon want to play, they are completely welcome to.

One game at a time, sweet Jesus.

That’s all we’re asking of you (City).

So what’s the most successful game plan against us since you know everything?

There's a really high correlation between how many loose balls are picked up in a game (by both sides), and us losing.

The best way to make us lose is to have a aggressive press in the defensive third and make the game messy. Not many teams try it, but the ones that do have a much better rate of success against us.

Don’t think so, most of the time this is tried we just get through the press, outnumber the opposition and create a really dangerous opportunity, often a goal.
