Defo. Pep will also sit in the stands as a self punishment.

Fucking typical City!!!!

 

[St.Pauli support]

Don't think tired legs are the problem.
We don't create anything, Erling is totally isolated and our "wingers" are double covered as well.
Without Kev, Gundo, Bernie and Mahrez we have near zero creativity.
Pep needs to invent a different system and quick.

Been a weird one this season. Some games we do create and others hardly anything. West Ham away we had 29 attempts with 15 on target. Fulham at home 7 attempts but scored 5 goals so masked the very average performance that day. We still had 68% possession, 23 attempts and 8 on target against Wolves but they were not clear ones so it masks the overall performance which was poor.

When not on top form, we need to be more patient. We should not be conceding 2 goals from 3 shots!

Rodri is available but does anyone think Pep will go all stubborn and keep him on the bench as punishment?

I hope not. He hasnt exactly been the bastion of restraint himself and has had his own performance affecting ban to deal with

Looks just like a post from last October.

We will be more focused for this than we were for the Wolves game (alhough we were shafted out of the points in the league game).Although short of match sharpness there is no reason to rush John Stones back for this.

Coke Palmer looking good for Chelsea tonight.

Whilst doing the Poznan for the full 90 minutes, hand in hand with Cancelo.

Is there really a huge difference to finishing top or second?

Here’s our group positions, who we drew in the Ro16 and the outcome.

13/14: 2nd - Barca, KO d
14/15: 2nd - Barca, KOd
15/16: 1st - Dynamo Kiev, Won
16/17: 2nd - Monaco, KOd
17/18: 1st - Basel, Won
18/19: 1st - Schalke, Won
19/20: 1st - Madrid, Won
20/21: 1st - Monchengladbach, Won
21/22: 1st - Sporting CP, Won
22/23: 1st - Leipzig, Won

Every time we’ve finished 2nd in the group we’ve been eliminated in the Ro16. Every time we’ve topped the group we’ve progressed.

Finishing first is not only good for coefficients, prize money and the club’s stature. It also makes progressing to the Quarter final significantly easier.
