Same game plan. Go and attack them. Pisses me off when teams defend a lead. Just inviting trouble. Loads of teams used to do it against the rags back in the day if they went a goal up. Even if they were dominating, they'd suddenly change and defend. Awaiting the inevitable. We can score a couple there, should be enough to see us right.
Kolarov certain starter in my opinion, but doubt Vinny will make it. He'd need games under his belt.Been out for too long to just slot back in.

Weren't they the crowd that got a chasing off the Nordies and the Poles? Remember laughing hearing about that.

I don't know, losing 6-4 would be funny in it's own way (as long as their 6th goal was the last kick of the game).

Barcelona I'd be confident enough
Real Madrid Tough game but wouldn't write us off
Bayern Munich Nothing new here, would be close
Borussia Dortmund We'd beat these, as bad defensively as Monaco and not as dangerous
Atletico Madrid Do not want
Juventus Do not want
Sevilla I think this would be a comfy tie

Sevilla are 5 points clear of Atletico Madrid! They seem like a better team now than the one we faced last time. Probably the easiest draw, should we progress, but I don't know about comfy!

They're doing better in the league but imo Atleti are far more dangerous to us in a knockout tie. Sevilla need to dominate to play well and we wouldn't let them, Atleti would be happy out soaking up the pressure and hitting us on the break as would Juve. I'd rather avoid the counter punching teams as we haven't dealt well with them this season (Celtic, Chelsea, Leicester).

Errr perhaps we should get past Wednesday first .
Once we're in the QF anyone will give us a game, there isn't an easy draw.

Yeah if you track back through the conversation you'll find it was conditional to getting a result on Wednesday.

I'm very confident of winning this match. In fact, I think we will win comfortably

The potential for Nasri to score the winner for them would worry me. That would be absolutely horrendous. But I agree other than that they'd be a great draw (assuming we get through). I think Leicester would be a terrible draw for us if they manage to knock Sevilla out.
Worried about this.
Probably due to the first leg, 2 goal lead doesn't seem to be that much in a team as suicidally attacking as ours were.
I'm hoping we'll go for the 4-1-4-1 with Yaya/Silva/De Bruyne as the Yaya/Fernandinho/Silva or De Bruyne combination doesn't work as well for me and isn't very balanced. These are the types of games where we miss Gundogan.
Think this game hinges on which Yaya will turn up. We need to cool, professional ball player who will press when he needs to rather than the lazy mard-arse who sits huffing on the ground when we're getting attacked. If we win can keep the ball in centre mid our wide players will hang them out to dry again.

2 of there goals were just long ball over top so yaya was or wouldn't be the problem. Basic defending would sort out our main problems.

Our centre halves taking up a staggered line would sort both (one challenges while the other drops in behind to cover).

Yesterday's team but with Willy and Fernandinho instead of Bravo and KDB, but with Dinho in front of the back four and Yaya given a free role in midfield. Then bring on KDB in the second half for Yaya.
