Think Yaya will be fit but don't expect Hart just yet. I think we'll line up:

Caballero, Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala, Clichy, Fernando, Fernandinho, Toure, Silva, De Bruyne, Aguero

With their injuries I think they'll line up:

Trapp, Van der Wiel/Marquinhos, Silva, Luiz, Maxwell, Matuidi, Motta, Rabiot, Lucas, Cavani, Ibrahimovic

I see 2-2 in Paris. Would be a great result for us.

An African journalist says Toure is out. Not sure if that is reliable but I hope he doesn't play. We are better without him particularly now that De Bruyne is back.

I hope he's fit and can play against WBA when we'll need fresh legs
 
Voting is probably a fair reflection of Bluemooner,s

Win 20%_______Positive.Dreamer,s and ever hopeful type

Draw 39%______Don,t think we can win, but can,t bring themselves to say we,ll lose.

Lose 40%_____ Realist,s.Doom and gloomer,s. MP doesn,t know his arse from his elbow.

1%__________only do hindsight.

Without sounding like an Arsenal fan, top 4 is the biggest priotity now so I see this as a free shot at PSG. We usually play better when the pressure is off anyway so i'm quietly confident.

Caballero
Sagna Otamendi Mangala Clichy
Fernando Fernandinho
Navas Silva De Bruyne/Nasri
Aguero

Nasri not in squad
 
Just need to nick a goal. An away goal would more or less keep the tie open in the second leg. I just hope we take all our chances and don't fuck about with near misses.
 
Willy
Zaba, Mangala, Otamendi, Kolorov
Yaya- Fernando
Fernandinhio-De Bruyne- Silva
Aguero


Dinhio to start on the right again for me, stay compact and hit hard on the break through KDB Silva and Aguero.

We can win with that side. They will fear & respect us as much as we them. 50/50 game.
 
The pressure is way more on them than us for this match. You can pretty much lose the tie in the first leg at home (as happened for Kiev) but other than a hammering, we'll have a chance still at home in the second leg. So they'll be caught between going for it and being wary of conceding and being out of the tie. For this reason I think we'll win, 1-2.

That would be a phenomenal result. I like the optimism.

Your 1% is in the low side
 
Think we'll shock everyone and win 3-1 in Paris and we will go through to the next round.

We have been diabolical this year except in the Champion's League and it has a bit of a whiff of when Chelsea did it. Their aging squad forfeited their league position yet they knew it was the last chance for many of them to win the CL. Not saying we will win it but final 4 i think.
 
I don't know if you saw PSG v Chelsea but I'm convinced if PSG play City in the same open way, Aguëro, KDB & Silva will be ready to punish them a lot harder than Chelsea could. So I genuinely believe 1-2 or so is a (pretty) realistic result ...
Another possiblity is that PSG will adapt their play a bit because they're aware of City's attacking options and it may become a tight, boring match. In which case I see 1-0 to PSG as a probable result.
Just to say we're better off hoping that PSG will play their usual open, fluent game, which should give City plenty of options.
In fairness, I think PSG are cocky enough to think they don't need to adapt, so I'm hopeful for that 1-2 scenario.

I agree with what you are saying, including the not winning it part. If we can make it to the semis of the Champions League along with winning a trophy it will be a nice consolation for our lackluster performances, just as long as we still finish top 4, preferably top 3.

I would be happy with a 2-1 defeat
 
As good as PSG are, we have a squad, even with the injuries that are more than capable of beating them, however i simply don't trust Pellegrini to get the setup right and i think they'll do what the top sides in the league have done to us this season and smash us.
