The criteria was posted earlier today, it’s because we have more away wins.

Just like the old group stage thenThey won’t, but the best teams will rotate against teams they know they’ll beat.
Like us vs Bratislava and probably Brugge.

I guess, yeah, but we don’t know that for sure yet. We may need to score a hatful against Brugge to get top 8 and play our best team.Just like the old group stage then

They will but if we get to the last game against Brugge needing 3 points to make sure of a top 8 (remember all games kick off together)there won't be much rotation.They won’t, but the best teams will rotate against teams they know they’ll beat.

City fans probably aren’t the best judges of the merits of it. If you’d asked the same question when we were struggling to get out the groups for a few years running, it probably would be a completely different thread.
The reality is that we’re that good at the moment that any form of qualification that allows for the odd slip up and isn’t a straight knockout is going to be a formality and all a bit of a drag.

Think as long as we win 2 of our remaining 3 away games, we’ll be fine. Easier said than done, but PSG don’t look amazing this season.They will but if we get to the last game against Brugge needing 3 points to make sure of a top 8 (remember all games kick off together)there won't be much rotation.

I think, as always, Pep'll pick a squad that he thinks will win each and every game.I guess, yeah, but we don’t know that for sure yet. We may need to score a hatful against Brugge to get top 8 and play our best team.

Not sure about that.Dead right, and most fans loved watching the CL as it was.
I haven't been bothered about the European Cup since they allowed second, third and fourth place teams in it, and judging by ticket sales, I'm far from alone.

I think most fans whose team isn't in the CL would love to be seeing top European teams. Those, like City, who have seen all three iterations of European Cup, old CL and new CL would would take the old CL out of the three. Interest drops when the ticket prices appear.Not sure about that.

Fair play, you have to get through a lot of stages before you get to club coefficient which means a team would go through based purely based on this year's performance.If you're particularly arsed

God help the commentators on the last day trying to keep up and explain all that though.
