As long as dhino is passed fit and mp doesn't muck about with the defence then i'm confident

Need to be cuter with our tackles and getting fouls for ourselves though,hope we have learned that by now
 
Team will pretty much pick itself with Kun being out. JH, BS, VK, EM, AK, YT, F, KDB, DS, RS, WB. Don't know what to expect from Juventus, they're a very different side from last season, but I'd still expect them to be difficult opponents. Think it'll be won by the odd goal. I'm going 1 - 0 City with Bony to bag the goal.
 
Sad that Sergio is out. I think he is our "best" player in the sense that he is our most valuable and is most definitely world class. I don't think he is the most "important" as without Silva or Yaya we have to change the way we play a little. So I have to agree those who have suggested we can play without him. However Bony isn't a goal threat to the same extent as Kun but he is very good at holding up the ball and linking up, he is a far more natural target man that Dzeko.

I'd love to see de Bruyne, SIlva and Sterling behind Bony tomorrow but wouldn't be upset if Nasri was involved either as I thought he was decent on Saturday.
 
Silva, Yaya and KDB hitting killer balls for Sterling and Bony, can't wait!
Juventus have had an poor start to their domestic season by contrast
Our back four as tight as a gnat's chuff, our attacking play has been sublime at times, yet we can mix it with the toughest of cloggers if need be.
Quietly confident we will overpower Juventus, could be a classic.
 
First 3 games are very winnable with Juve and Sevilla at home and Gladbach away. Would be nice to get the group tied up like Bayern usually do so we can rest players in the later fixtures of the group. The away game vs Juve is sandwiched in between Liverpool and Saints at home so could do without being desperate for the win in that game.

I'm confident for this, we're cruising in the league. Should have Silva and Sterling back, all focus should be on this game.

Sticking my neck out and saying 3-0 (Bony x2, De Bruyne)

That's ludicrous - Buffon is not a neo-Nazi and he was never involved in the hooligan scene before turning pro (he turned pro at age 17). You clearly need to inform yourself on the matter.

You need to inform yourself bud. He even picked 88 as his first squad number.
 
Juve might be struggling in the league, but I have a feeling they will be this year's 2014-2015 Dortmund. They were so bad, they flirted with relegation before christmas, but they were dashing in the CL. Pelle should have no room for complacency, Juve will be a hard game, despite what league forms suggest

My thoughts too, Karen.

Fernando is decent at what he does but doesn't have the energy of Fernandinho which is vital if partnering Yaya in a 4-2-3-1/ 4-4-2.
