We're not going to get anywhere near winning the Champs League with the injury crisis we have. So would prefer to to be knocked out and concentrate on top 4 finish to qualify for next seasons Champs League.If you’re in it, you’ve got to try to win it???
Because we are not entitled to anything!!??
Call me old fashioned, but when I started watching City, European Cup, let alone Champions League, was not even a dream!!!
CWC, is a made up Mickey Mouse Trophy, which comes a long way after PL, CL, FAC , League Cup and Charity Shield, in my list of priorities!!! IMHO :0)
Good point, but at the moment we look like when we concede one the next two or three are incoming.Chelsea won it twice as massive underdogs.
I know. I find it impossible to celebrate a goal at this moment in time. Just trying to emphasise the point that you can only win your next game.Good point, but at the moment we look like when we concede one the next two or three are incoming.
:-( still can't believe we dropped Rodri for thisChelsea won it twice as massive underdogs.
Gvardiol. Good going forward not much of a defender.Think it will be (RB) Lewis - Akanji - Stones - Gvardiol (LB)
To be fair he was playing shit at the time. It was a silly decision to accommodate the useless Sterling but he hadn’t played well the weeks before. To be honest the team hadn’t either and took the foot off the gas which they couldn’t pick up again.:-( still can't believe we dropped Rodri for this
With the benefit of hindsight I bet Pep regrets not starting Rodri.To be fair he was playing shit at the time.

I’m sure he does. Made the Istanbul one better though in front of a full following!With the benefit of hindsight I bet Pep regrets not starting Rodri.
Don’t think we have any option unless Ake is fitGvardiol. Good going forward not much of a defender.
Or maybe play him in the position he was used too…centre halfDon’t think we have any option unless Ake is fit
Or maybe play him in the position he was used too…centre half
I agree, but unless Ake is fit, we have no choice, only Ake or Gvardiol can play at left back to any degree of competence. Personally I would prefer AkeOr maybe play him in the position he was used too…centre half

I agree the CWC is a micky mouse competition but the financial benefits are huge. There may be more players leaving before next season so winning the CWC could bankroll some new signings.
PSG are this young, dynamic, high energy team of megabucks players - won nothing significant. We've had one bad half season in nine years.May be it doesn't tell you about PSG, it actually tells you a lot about Man City. This is because such shambolic performance has been the case of Man City in many games in the last two months.
4th in the Prem having our worst season for many years and still in with a shout of a play-off place in the CL. No-one can complain about false positions.Including us unfortunately.
PSG have incredible resources - tough fixtures against sides with lesser financial firepower than them. Tough games is not a reason/excuse. Some seasons the fixtures seem more favourable - but they're never contenders.I was just giving a reason.
At the start of the competition they had the toughest fixtures. Theres not a whole lot can be done about that.

We've been consistently performing better than PSG in the CL over many years. This season, they've been poor, like us, apart from their stellar performance against us.We have one more CL than them in fairness. They continue to dominate domestically as we have previously. Don’t think the other poster was wrong to say they’ve had harder fixtures in this CL than us this season.
No we have not.We've been consistently performing better than PSG in the CL. They've been poor apart from their stellar performance against us.
I'm talking about over many years - not this season. This season, PSG have struggled as much as us almost.No we have not.
Both teams are on a par, playing well below what is expected of them.
OKI'm talking about over many years - not this season. This season, PSG have struggled as much as us almost.
My bad - I need to improve my written comms . Yeah, they've had an unbalanced team of superstars in previous years.OK
I thought you just meant this seasons CL.
Previous to this, its hard to fathom with the likes of Neymar, Mbappe, Messi and a host of others that they have been so poor.
