If we can gain control of this game early on and get a good lead going into the second half i would love to see foden get a run out
Haha nothing like a bit of confidence there...if we’re absolutelt safe and nothing can go wrong...I say bring the lad on!
 
They have their Olympique derby this Sunday with OM so they might not even field their strongest 11 considering the league has not been going well for them. I expect them to have borrowed the keys for Jose's bus for today.
 
Very interesting words from Mikel there. Very happy here. Wants to be a coach in future but very happy here. Players young. Club room to grow more. Best players in world. Grinning like a cheahire cat. Everything he said in that interview to me looks like he is waiting for the job when Pep eventually leaves. Like how he takes no shit from the reporters. As has been said the proof will be in the pudding but definitely someone we would take to as fans.
 
No idea what to expect tonight, hopefully should win, but we are not quite clicking yet so it will be harder than many think imo. Early goal is key. 3-1 to us
 
No we are level 3 got our seats, wouldn't have thought they were sold out

They'll have taken the top tiers off sale while they sell whatever is left in the bottom 2 tiers. Looks like there's been a rush of sales over the past 24 hours which seems to be the norm for CL games. Not many left in the bottom 2 tiers now according to the planner with the vast majority being in North Stand level 2 so I reckon the 3rd tiers will go back on sale this morning.
 
I know I shouldn't feel like this as ultimately it's a disruption to our plans, but i'm actually quite looking forward to seeing Arteta take the reins tonight.
 
Looking forward to this game - I cannot remember us ever playing Lyon before.

Will be interested to see what the dippers missed out on in Fekir.

With Mendy out Sane needs to start and I would be tempted to go with Jesus up front with Raheem supporting.

Would be nice to see Foden but we want to start with a comfortable win.
 
Must get my head round the CL. Last night , when I heard the Dippers score - my immediate reaction was PSG had 2 away goals - great , I thought.
Then it dawned on me that we are in mini-leagues format and the Dippers had 3 points. - top of their league.
So City must win tonight and get the 3 points. - here's hoping.
Without me looking it up - when do we have our trip to Shaktar Donetz -
thinking of a long trip to Kiev in the winter months ?.
