Carra's spot on here in regards to Wijnaldum role tonight. He won't get the time and space he had to roll players as easily as he did on the weekend.

I don't think he'll try to. Keep it nice and simple one touch move it on, move off to receive it again. Gini playing as 6 is going to be fascinating.

I think in a defensive shape Milner will be much closer to Gini in a two than with Gini just being the lone 6

I think that suits Gini more. It seems like when he has time to make a decision, he overthinks. Much better player playing off his instincts.
Mark my words. Top 8 will be a massive struggle.
We won't make any big signings this season and we will go back to being a top4 club.

SERIOUSLY. I’m glad I’m not stood in the trenches with some of you lot. Yes, they’re good enough to get a result but it’d also involve us imploding .. which we won’t. They’ll attack, we’ll catch them on the break at least once and that’ll be it.

I’d go with 2-2 tonight if I were a betting man. Sit back and enjoy it

  • Nothing feels as good as fat tastes.
FFS don’t mention that, I’ve just had a flash back.. It’s like being back in ‘Nam

And about an hour of FOAR after the final whistle...

Picture the scene, we are 3-0 down, in the 86th minute, city have a corner, we clear the ball and Gini passes the ball to Mane who skips past their last man leaving just the keeper with Bobby tearing up the field to keep up with Mane, the keeper comes out..Mane selflessly threads a perfect ball into the six yard box for the onrushing Bobby, its a open goal...Bobby no-look's and strikes the ball...



and we all watch as it loops over the bar...


Why would he no-look an open goal?
"All the lads have been talking about is walking out in front of the Kop, with 40,000 singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone'," Collins told BBC Radio Solent. "All the money in the world couldn't buy that feeling," he added.

Possible. Could also be when we lose the ball the three of them are going to pretty close together with Salah and Mane dropping deep to harass.

We get Bayern, Klopp knows his countryman's tactics, and we defeat them, Barca beats Real, and we win the final against Barca. That is my vision.
Out of the other 3, for me, Barca are more susceptible to be beaten by our style of play.  Real are probably a tad better at counter-attacking than we are and Bayern are all round more solid than us.  It's a tough choice, but we don't have a choice - we play who we are given and we can beat anyone on our day.     First of all we have to get a good result tonight!!

Oh I’ve not really had time to think about tonight properly – until now.

I’m sorry to say that this is going to be a complete and utter heart attack inducing game and we’re all going to have to go through the ringer on this one, yet again. We all know the scenarios, the permutations, the outright “what the fuck are the chances of thattery?” City, simply put, are far too good a side to drop their level for the third game on the bounce, its just not going to happen and I have come to my conclusion.

I thought he got lucky on a couple of those too.  Hopefully he doesn't take any unnecessary risks

I went the other way.  5 Coffee cups, jacked up and peeing out diuretics like a race horse.  Nervous but excited to see the tactics of the game.  So curious to see how it plays out --- reading Honigstein's book on Jurgen, makes for a great combo.

?

If anything it's under pressure that Wijnaldum has the opportunity to 'roll players'. He excels in these games because of his ability to soak up pressure by shielding and turning and using it to break the lines. It's when he's not under pressure that he seems a little complacent, but realistically he's just a very safe player in that sense. It's great because he has all the attributes to be fantastic as a 6.

Of course he would never no-look a open goal...
