Always enjoy Joe Hart as a pundit, lescott loves the club as does the likes of micah and Nedum and dunne and all the other ex City pundits but there's just something about the way Hart talks about us that makes it a little bit better. He will be one of the better pundits when he retires.

The team is what it is. They are all top class. Just get behind whoever is picked and stop complaining.

can see us scoring 1 or 2 here hopefully more, their not that good at the back,its how many we concede is the problem, keep it tight for the first 20 minutes and read the game dont give that ball away esp in midfield otherwise they will be on us

I'd prefer a 3 goal blitz in the first 20 minutes ;-)

If you drop players for a few errors, we’d be left playing the EDS some weeks.

big games, pick the guy in form not your favourite players, that's what's undone us in the past.

Am I the only one who would of preferred Laporte to Stones? Feel he's gone down hill since he came back from international duty (Which was very predictable)

go back a couple of pages

Stones and Dias are our best partnership,they have a telepathy and make each other play better,John will not let us down.

Great team,the fullback choice was always the biggest dilemma for me.

Fancy Stones might nick us a goal this evening.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

surelty people arent complaining still!

Its a good team

 

[plongo]

Cos Stones can’t play in the League it may be just smart rotation too

The team is what it is. They are all top class. Just get behind whoever is picked and stop complaining.

Only this

Feels like Pep has handled the Champions League very similar to the career of Phil, holding back, knowing the limitations, but now it feels like he has the confidence to unleash both & I feel like we’re in for a hell of a night

Does have that feel to it.

Dropping Sterling at Anfield three years ago
Dropping Kompany Bernardo and de Bruyne at Spurs
Playing three at the back and taking out an attacking player against Lyon...

But against Dortmund and tonight, I think he’s picked the team we all pretty much expected.

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

Laporte deserved to start. Stones has made a few errors recently.

I agree. For me, Stones is our player of the season, but the first half against Villa was the worst he’s played this season. I’d have been slightly concerned if he started in a game of this importance, coming off a performance like that.
