Monaco (a) pre-match thread

A boring as fuck 0-0 to piss off UEFA TV ratings will do.

I'm not sure I could watch us hanging on for 0-0.

Two of the best attacks in Europe, if not the two best? Whatever else is going to happen, I don't think that's it, somehow.

Willy
Zabba
Otamendi
Kolarov
Dinho
Yaya
Silva
De Bruyne
Sterling
Sane
Aguero

I think the 5th we got at home will turn out to be the decider

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Protect the lead and hit on the counter?

No

 

[Bill]

in simple terms we are better then them, and we will go through.

This is an occasion I think when the best form of defence will be to give everything to win the match and this is why I am happy that Guardiola is the manager. many managers would plan to sit on it. I think the first goal will be vital, and if we do concede we must have faith in our selves and not let it affect our game.

I think playing in a small stadium might help us. It's a huge game, but at least it's not like playing in front of 50,000

Same but play Clichy at left back and Fernandinho for Yaya

Think Barcelona might have something to say about that

So any draw, or a Monaco win by a 1-goal margain, will see us go through. If we lose by two goals but we score more than three we go through, if we loe 5-3 we go to extra time. I think we should be getting through to the next round.... the trouble is that round will likely consist of this lineup:

Barcelona
Real Madrid
Bayern Munich
Borussia Dortmund
Atletico Madrid
Juventus
Sevilla
Manchester City

We'll think about that if we get there I suppose, but... yikes.
