[balotelli's back pocket]

Games like this are about mentality. I trust Pep to have picked the players based on how they've been in training this week and how hungry they are to win.

For all those complaining at Aguero's absence, just remember that he doesn't have the best record in Champions league knockout games...

I reckon Bernardo false nine with mahrez and jesus wide. 6 man midfield without ball. Best left back on the pitch will be mendy

Sometimes on nights like this I wish I still had BT Sport after binning them off 2 years ago, then I read stuff like this and it reminds me why I did it, and suddenly I have zero regrets

I’m normally a happy clapper but Jesus up front ? Fuck right off.

Wow! pep & he’s selections.

Not sure what to make of that team. It might be the best option. Plus to have Aguero & Sterling to bring on is a big threat

is he just packing the midfield out to ensure we don’t loose this game ?

Definitely is.

I don't normally watch the build up but just sort of fancied it this eve just to hear the bollox they can spout ! I know guess I am just in that kinda mood today !

Paha what a load shit. He’s one of the best strikers that’s ever lived and Pep is dropping him. Shocking management

Jesus is going to get fuck all change out of Varane and Ramos. We're going for a 0-0 here, not optimistic at all.

I don't know why anyone watches it, they're just wind up merchants the let of them, put it on at kick off.

I find it very bizarre that people moan about it constantly yet still watch it, there’s a very very easy and impactful solution, just don’t turn it on until it’s time for kick off.

They basically have a Liverpool fan giving their opinion on City and the FFP farce. Great build up for the City fans BT!

Just turn it off, there's no point want watching the talking heads right now.
