If we are to lose in the end I hope we at least put in a top performance and give a great account of ourselves. Getting battered with the whole world watching or seeing City just be completely bulldoze us would suck.

As has been mentioned, we basically need every player from front to back to be perfect in order to win. City can often be in cruise control and blow teams away still. We especially need a Kante masterclass to break up and disrupt Foden/KDB/Gündogan. We let them just ping it around and we have no chance.

I don't know why but im feeling more stressed than in 2012

I dont know how anyone can be as stressed as 2012.

Our season depended on the final in 2012 and we had a squad that was awful in terms of the fact it was in serious need of a rebuild. This is a free hit although obviously we want to win ...

As good as City are I just really don't think they are as good as that Bayern team were either in all honesty. They were frightening, I still have no idea how we won that night.

We will start with a much better team tonight than in 2012 IMO on paper at least. City are the best in Europe maybe but I don't think their at the level that Bayern team was with Heynckes in that period 2011-2013. I dont think football is that way inclined anymore either where teams are all physically, tactically and technically very rounded. Its usually a team is good technically, tactically or physically. Theres rarely ever a mix.

I feel extremely optimistic tonight I think we will win this.

City's 6 'attackers' look a scary prospect. However I'm surprised that fernandinho or rodri isn't playing. There's no defensive minded player in that midfield and if we can get hold of the ball and beat their press there could be spaces and gaps in there to exploit.

If our lads are at it 100% we should be able to dominate the midfield. That’s an extremely bold selection from Pep not to have any sort of defensive minded midfielder. They’re going all out intricate attack. They’re going to try to blitz us, I think.

No Rodri or Fernandinho

I am extremely surprised by this. Its either brilliant by Pep or incredibly naive.

Gundogan is not a natural holding midfielder if it is a 433 they are playing. He can be bypassed.

Also Stones whilst has rejuvenated his career this season, he showed at the world cup with England in the big moments in the big games he can have a lapse of concentration. Thought Laporte would of played. 

Anyway good lineup. Plenty chances tonight please boys
