QF 1st Leg Post Match Thread

I agree, Pep will have a good reason for not risking Kevin. It will not be tactics - he's the Messi/Hazard of our team.

Absolutely, if he’s fit he plays. He drives this team forward.

I'd rather we'd won 3-0 tbh

Blues are made of sterner stuff , if we can survive Gillingham and QPR , Spuds next week is a walk in the park :)

We could still finish this season with a single league cup. Let that sink in.

Better than relegation.

We will need to score 3 next week to go through. We tend not to have too many problems scoring at home to them over the years should be ok

We probably will score 3, but we don’t necessarily need to.
2-0 will be fine

I thought the longer the 2nd half went on the more Mahrez came into the game, he grew in confidence and put some good balls into the box. Agree to disagree mate.

I'm certainly not saying he was terrible but I never really feel he threatens that much. He doesn't give the full back a hard time usually. I like him as a player and sincerely hope he will come good for us but Rose could push onto him without ever having to worry about Mahrez bursting past him. Sterling on that side would have given Rose much more to think about.

Anyway, as you say, let's agree to disagree. It's done now and can't be changed.

Let's hope in 8 days time we're celebrating after a fine win at Palace and a crushing defeat of Spurs.

I can't see them not scoring. Particularly if we insist on giving free-kicks away around our area again

Stuart Pearce is a ****.

As above, he fcking hates city

Sometimes you lose, but I cannot understand what Guardiola sees in Mahrez that he doesn’t see in Sane.For me, Mahrez offers very little. We always look more potent with Sane on the field. He’s getting very little game time and it wouldn’t surprise me if he wants away soon.

I’m optimistic, can see us blowing them away next week.
Our home record is so good that they will feel they need an away goal which could play into our hands.
We’re in a much stronger position then we were against liverpool last year, and with a half decent ref we might well have turned that one around, we battered them until that Spanish cheat intervened.

If VAR was around last season, there is every chance we would have gone though
