Well if we go out starting like we have been doing we are going to get mullered

We have to start with intensity. Go out thinking we are Billy Big Bollox.

Just really need to  play them like we did in December. score first then keep pressing.

still remember the 2 games against them in that 15-16 season, very stubborn side, it will be no walk in the park, William was having his fairytale season with freekicks remember?

I’d rather see Alonso in left midfield than leftback. I’ve always seen him more as a midfielder than a defender/fullback. His troubles at LB do not surprise me.

And Chels is too soft and predictable in midfield for me. He’d add some physicality and Alonso can get into the box and cause trouble. Let Kante sit deep instead and support Jorginho, which allows Odoi to attack them hard on the right

I know this is out of the box but that just how I think. I need Sarri to do something. He’s so rigid. People love comparing him to Guardiola but Pep makes (slight) tactical tweaks and employs players in different  positions all of the time. He’s nothing like that and he’s losing me because of it.

In midfield? And make midfield even softer? That does not sit well with me.

I may be remembering wrong but I think the city vs arsenal final played last year was of a similar nature. It was a bygone conclusion before the match even began.

This might be worse. Way worse 

Difference between us and Arsenal is they actually get smashed when the world expect them too, we have an uncanny nack of doing the opposite.

Last time we lost a final we were obvious underdogs for was Cardiff 2002.

I thought our game away to them was arguably our best display of that season (not saying much i know), we wasted golden chances to seal the win inside 20 minutes.

They can moan like fuck when we see what its like to really suffer!

Like going back to when we were skint and had to sell all our good players many moons ago. We then ended up with some class youths who won us promotion. Could we do this again ??????
