Do we get the same ref as the last game?

I think UEFA have asked for Howard Webb to come out of retirement

A thing I haven’t heard mentioned about our second goal in Paris was the job that our own wall in front of PSGs wall did.
You don’t see them too often and they managed to duck out of the way of the shot at the last minute
Bound to be off putting for the PSG players in their wall

Believe me, I’m well aware of the maths. My point is that conceding two (or more) is the only thing that can fuck us, scoring first makes only a small difference to that. I won’t feel warm and snuggly inside heading into extra time.

Also, “overtime” get the fuck out of here.

Even if we scored two early goals, I still won’t be able to relax. PSG having to score three goals is more than possible. Fuck this, I’m thinking of scenarios already and it’s only Saturday.

You'll drive yourself insane mate, have a beer or two and relax.

What a fantastic position to be in. Two away goals and a fully fit squad.

 

[willipp]

Ideal game now for Delap to be Involved

I just choked on my beer reading this comment.

 

[willipp]

it makes a difference. Scoring no goals and conceding 2 means goodnight.... scoring 1 goal and conceding 2 means atleast Overtime.

But the best result it shouldn‘t come to that point. A 2-0/2-1/1-0 victory is fine too

What if we score the first touchdown? ;)

What if we score the first touchdown? ;)

Then City shall be the victorious team :D

 

[Gumzy97]

If we score first PSG will crumble. They are not mentally there when we equalised they broke down lost their heads.

I’m hoping it’s an ahem, “typo” and the poster means the Chelsea league game (or the ones after). That, I do agree with!

 

[waspish]

Watching the palace game commentators talking about champs league games this week they were talking like Chelsea are through and we have a bit to do to get through!

 

[deano ou812]

Still 90mins minimum to play,just need to keep them at arms length and then hopefully pick them off,but let’s not get ahead of ourselves they have a very good away record,the players know how close they are to the final and hopefully that also steels the mind for what is required..

 

[dhruvblue]

Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Zinchenko
Kevin Fernandinho Gundogan
Mahrez Bernardo Foden

Reason I choose Fernandinho bcoznhe was taken off and Rodri wasn't so maybe Dinho starts.


Enough rest for main players so it should be good.

2-1 to City as usual

Their objective going into the game is to score two goals.

If we score first that objective doesn't change.

It only offers the slight piece of insurance that two for them would mean extra time.

To steal off the "Whiskey Nosed" one.
Twitchy bum time.
Play like the second half in Paris and I don't see:
Us NOT scoring
Them scoring the 3 in normal time to see them through given the above

Play like the first half in Paris:
We're asking for trouble

I see us at full throttle for the first half an hour to try to kill this off, and we have the players capable

 

[deano ou812]

Watching the palace game commentators talking about champs league games this week they were talking like Chelsea are through and we have a bit to do to get through!

I noticed that not in this game,but after both champions league games talking as if Chelsea had won 3 or 4 nil and already there,where as after our game it was like a 1-0 defeat the way they talked about getting to the final very strange..I’ve a feeling Chelsea could end up going to extra time on Wednesday night but still get through..

 

[abu13]

We can't get complacent here, we are in the box seat but we are far from secure.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a 3-1 result but it could be either way.

 

[schfc6]

Please can we score first and early

just do your best boys

How long have you supported City for??

 

[Blue Theatre]

Given the crazy away records of the 2 teams (9 straight away wins for PSG & 19 for City) it wouldn't be a total surprise if both teams won their away match.

Hope not, though !
