Navas for Silva and play Yaya in an advanced role

If we go through, it won't be done in the easiest way possible. Probably 2-0 down at half time, then Aguero penalty and stoppage time equaliser. A dull extra time, then Hart gets injured during the break before pens. We've already used all 3 subs, so Bony goes in net (yes... he came on). He's too lazy to move, but 3 of the PSG players try to dink it down the middle. All three hit Bony's arse and we go through. Caballero is sold, and Bony signs a new 5 year deal as back up goalkeeper.

Fucking hate the daily mail..top irrelevant headline.van hoofs trip to the dentist..disgusted.

I really, really hope we don't repeat one of our failings in big games this season and concede a soft early goal and flatten the atmosphere.

A good start is huge tonight.

Need to be working hard right from the start. Not the usual sleepy beginning. I hope we can score first. I think that could break PSG.

Good news.... Charlie Nicholas predicts we'll lose 2-1 tonight

He predicted that the tie would be over after the 1st leg

He has also predicted that Nasri will play! Thanks for your valued opinion Charlie!!

This gave me a chuckle ...

The whole crowd would be going ballistic if we need a goal and in last ten mins Pellers throw Bony on for that ...

Yaya is the Key. Control the midfield. The big man excels at this if he's up to it (he will be, its his last chance to win cl with city) just include the two ferns for defensive solidity. I reckon one of Silva or kdb will be sacrificed for Navas to stretch psg, workrate and lightening quick counters. Like city, psg are all over the place without the ball at their feet. Hope Manuel did his homework. Cant wait...

It really could get messy. 2-1 down, 10 mins left, 1 sub left. Bony on for Fernando. Kelechi unused sub...

God, I'm having nightmares!

 

[lastmanback]

Yaya will start. So can't have KDB and silva.
Navas for either, to counter maxwell . There whole first team was rested the weekend so forget that they get tired last 20mins shit. Have to control midfield.

Right lads im shit with the whole away goals shizzle, BUT have we gotta stop PSG winning and/or stop them scoring twice?

If they score twice but we score 14 goals, that is ok.

But imagine if Bony scores a brace in the last 5 minutes to put us through...

I'd go with:
--------------------Hart-------------------
Sagna---Otamendi--Mangala---Clichy
---------Fernando--Fernandinho------
Navas---------De Bruyne-----Silva----
------------------Aguero----------------

Subs: Caballero, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Delph, Toure, Iheanacho, Bony

My thoughts exactly, same 11 as 1st leg.

That's what id go with as well but think he will shoe horn Yaya in.

KdB plays centrally again we win the game its that simple imo.

I'd start sculpting his statue. Thinking about it, a statue is quite apt...

This is the thing though, Yaya's presence means we play everyone out of position just to accommodate Yaya. He's a club legend, but I really can't wait until he's gone and we can actually build a team around our best players in their best positions.
