8h 20 to go. FFS.

Just as long as we don't get to 9320 needing an Aguero moment

Withstand their early manic press and we get through comfortably. All about the first 20-25 mins for me.

Yeah, they've got nothing to lose so they might as well go for it, throw everything at us and see what happens

Play our game, don't be shy and keep the ball.............if we do this, we should win.........need to be wary of what they did in the QF's but this is a big test and the chance to get the monkey of our back in this competition.........whatever happens, I'm proud of the team and what they have achieved..........AND - there is always next year...............!!!

Come on City...................

They pressed us like fuck first half last week, and had nothing left second half, unless they have borrowed some anti asthma drugs from the dippers I can’t see them matching our energy for 90 mins

was feeling cool about the game until about 10 minutes ago and now am super cool hahahaa

It wouldn't surprise me if Pep starts with Laporte-Dias-Stones as a central three with Rodri & Dinho holding in front. When it goes pear shaped at 0-2 after 20 minutes, he brings on Aguero & Sterling at half time to bring the score level. Will certainly be a roller-coaster evening I suspect.

No reason why Pep would change the structure or personnel of the side. He won't change the winning formula.

Haha....me either, but I actually think Pep is more convinced now than he ever was, that he has a team capable of taking it too the top teams in Europe, I’d be shocked if there’s more than one change from the first leg, it’s a home game & id like to see us go at it from the off, even if that means risking conceding first, get on the front foot, dominate possession & try killing it off, we’ve seen it several times now from Pochettino teams, how they can hit you on the break & get across the first man with an in-swinging corner, kill those two threats (like the 2nd half in Paris) and we go through
