Pretty alarmed to see so many people who claim to be City fans saying they'll watch the Madrid-PSG game instead of this tonight. We have so many plastics now.

Doesn’t really bother me. If we have more casual fans which is a consequence of our success, which is unavoidable,then it’s fans on top of the longer term fans not instead of. So it doesn’t really make much difference to me.

Are there any other archbishops called Desmond to get him confused with?

Wasnt there a Desmond threethree? involved in the "miracle of crystanbul" a few years back.

What I know about them? They play 3-4-3 (back three, oh no!!!) and have a decent high press. Defensively very good and dynamic, quick at counterattack, particularly on the right side. I know of Sarabia and Goncalves and do we have somebody on loan there? Hopefully it is going to be 1:3, but will miss Walker big time and considering the way they play, we might be suffering on both wings. Did Lyon play 3-4-3 against us?

Ride the early storm and I think we’ll win well

1-3, Mahrez with a couple

 

[David Silva #21]

I am not anxious at all. I think we have gotten so much experience in cl in last years. We will crush them easily.

Don't know about that only one match tonight matters to me. But in a sense if they contribute to the club in some real sense then it is best to have them in the camp. I could understand someone switching over if we are 3 or 4 up but making a decision before the game nah. As for my prediction I am going for an Archbishop!!
