Thanks

What time does the coverage start on Bt3?

1 min before kick off for me - hate their coverage

A draw will see us through,they will probably try and blitz us early door like we did to them,so long as we don't ship more than 1 early goal then we'll be ok,i hope we are ready from the start

I like the confidence there. Manchester City are a better team than Napoli and need to show it by winning there, it'll spread fear in other European teams when we beat them.

 

[mosssideblue]

I'm struggling to see past this line up.

---------------------Ederson------------------------
Walker-----Stones----------Otto-----------Delph
----------------------Ferny--------------------------
---------Silva---------------------KDB--------------
Sterling---------------------------------------Sane
----------------------Aguero------------------------

That would be my choice too

Same for me with sound going off 30 seconds later at the first mention of the Rags.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Walker, Silva and Jesus rested

 

[scousemanc]

I'm more relaxed before European games

Anyone else really relaxed about this one?

yep.
just looking forward to a cracking game.
if we win, all the better.

the players seem to have more self-belief as a team capable of actually winning it this year.

What I expected; Aguero for Jesus, Danilo in at one of the full back positions (right back this time instead of Walker), Sterling and Sane for the width and Gundogan in for Silva (thought one of KDB or Silva would get a rest).

 

[SebastianBlue]

I think I am right in saying that this is the first time this season that Ilkay and KDB start together in midfield.

 

[01cravend]

Walker and Silva changes make sense..both could do with a rest plus

Walker struggled last time, Danilo more used to the type of football Napoli play.

Gundogan perfect player to turn and dribble past Napoli's press which is where we struggled last time.

The depth on this team is insane

 

[schfc6]

Pretty happy with that. Much prefer the balance of Sterling and Sané.

The depth on this team is insane

This is the reason why I think we'll win the league this season.

 

[Essembe]

Good team selection that.

Liquid football. Ilkay adding a bit of fortitudinal solidity with Ferna in midfield but with a threat of going forward too.

Ilkay scored twice in our win against Barca remember.

 

[citytill1die84]

Decent changes.

 

[MCFC1993]

And the graphic with the new kit we'll be wearing tonight:

 

[FJRMCFC]

Fantastic team selection. Midfield gives us a little more control against a tough Napoli side.

 

[IWasHere]

Happy with that. It's about time Silva and Walker got a rest. Gundogan is the perfect player to play in this match too
