Navas is a complete waste of time just put nasri in for him

Can't see Vinny being fit for next week. It'd definitely be a bonus if Ibrahimovic picked up a booking tonight though.

We shou

Don't normally go with the agenda thing but it's odd that there's no talk to tonight's game, the last team in England, on any of the football websites like F365, Sky and only barely a mention on the BBC?

Not really a big game for general media. Neither us or PSG would be given much of a chance of winning this competition so it kind of slips through a gap. I think we get far too sensitive about this issue. You must remember we are probably about 5th in the English pecking order when you factor everything in. That means that we are the first of the big boys to get stick when we do wrong but only the fifth in line for praise when we do good. It's just the way it is for now at least although things may change over time. I fail to understand why people get worked up about it to the extent they do!!

Nasri isnt in CL squad anymore.

And this is where the team misses a 'wum', piece of piss with the right player!!!

100% agree.

Chelsea's ivanovic is fairly good at it but he's a novice compared to the European heavyweights like Chielini, Pepe, Carvalho etc.

PSG are a good team but they are like us in many ways. They have weakness in some areas. I honestly think with David Luiz in there defence thats a chance for City to get at them with Kun isolate him and Kun and we got a chance. I think with Yaya out we will be more solid. More harder to break down and we will counter attack them all night. Down the wings with Navas and KDB is we get 60 odd minutes out of him I be happy. Honestly think we will get a positive result tonight. Feel Ibra will be key keep him quite and we should be grand give him a sniff at goals then he will score.

My team for what its worth
Hart
Sagna , Ottamendi , Mangala , Clichy
Fernandhino , Fernando
Navas , Silva , KDB
Kun

To be honest that is about the only team we can pick and I worry that we have very little on the bench.

 

[Neville Kneville]

I wouldn't judge on trainings, sometimes the worst preparations lead to the best performances.

Anyway: Silva, KDB, Agüero are City's main men right now to do the dammage, I think it'd be unwise not to play them, especially against a side like PSG that is vulnerable for counter attacks.

The other 7 can all be defenders for all I care :) + the GK of course

I would actually play aiming for at least 7 behind the ball whenever we lose it. If it works with Silva & DeBruyne fine. If it doesn't, drop 1.

There's always the outside chance that the ref buys Otamendi's "sack of spuds" routine after Ibra brushes his beard.
