I just hope we remember Maicon taking the piss out of us in the Etihad and have a plan for that.

Seeing that flop come back to haunt us was highly embarrassing.

Hart
Zaba MDM Mangala Clichy
Fernando Fernandinho
Navas Nasri Milner
Dzeko/Jovetic

I'd like Frank to play, I just think without Navas, no Toure and no Sergio we need some pace in the side.
Fernandinho & Nasri running from central will be our best chance.

With Aguero I thought because of the form he was in he could have potentially got the result we needed from this game on his own, without him I think it's going to take one of best performances of the last 5 years to get a result, especially with the the other players we have out injured, suspended or not 100% match fit.

This Roma team is a very formidable outfit and let's not forget for them this is arguably their biggest game in recent years.

We have to pack the midfield because Roma don't even play with a striker as we saw when they played us at our place. Totti player a false 9 and the wingers/ wide forwards took turns dropping deep leaving them to have 4 sometimes 5 men against our midfield 2.

The hope we have is that we might only need a 1-1 draw which I would think would e enough because I don't see Guadiola and Bayern dropping their standards and going two Champions League games without a win, regardless if they have qualified.

Park the bus and try and hit them on the break, Mourinho style.

That would be stupid because we MUST score. We need to play to our strengths. 1-0 loss is same to us than 0-0 draw. or 1-0 to Roma during the match is the same than 0-0, so we can take a bit of risk.

Shit forgot that YAYA can't play, what we have to do is score at least 2 goals and that should be enough to get us through

Keep it tight for the first 20 minutes, snatch a goal and hang on for dear life.

A 1-1 draw is enough if you ask me, I can't see Bayern allowing two games without a win to go by in the Champions League.

Can see Roma scoring 2 they are a really good side at home and it will be like a cauldron with there fans..

Forgive my ignorance but why is it that Yaya cannot play in this one?. He was suspended vs Bayern for the sending off vs CSKA.
Can someone explain please!!.
