I think City will fancy their chances.
I think we will need an all round good performance and a stand out individual display to win.
It is a massive shame (whatever anyone else thinks) that in games like this we no longer have Eriksen and Alli in their pomp. They were honestly so destructive for a while and carried with them the arrogance we still Jack at times.
Hoping Bale starts to show his world class status but worry a little bit that Kane and Son may not be able to keep their early impetus going.
Huge test coming up. If we pass then we are really in the title race. We aren't yet regardless of position in my opinion.

FYI - Guardiola has won two CL's as a manager.
And you don't think I knew that? Okay I should have said since Barca.
Lesser managers have won the CL however with Barcelona . And who won the CL last year?
Your point and I don't mean in terms of existence?
Spendiola for all his ability has not done it at Bayern or City. 2 more years so he can get Messi in and try is quite pathetic.
Excited!
Torres and Foden looked in super form midweek, and De Bruyne looked a lot fitter vs Denmark than against England. Jesus with his footwork isn't a great match vs our CB's but hoping for continued improvement there. (mostly contending with headed clearances and little real threat the last 3 games)
Bale looked really sharp against Finland, but with Sterling & Cancelo likely attacking down that wing I'd expect and kind of want Lucas/Lo Celso starting in his place. Expect it to be Lucas, would like it to be Lo Celso.
Reguilon will be massive for us in these games vs the better teams. The dynamism of his movement down the left is honestly matched by very few full backs in the world. Hoping for some magic from Ndombele, Son and Kane. City look a bit better defensively this season but we have every chance of a win here. COYS

This is the cunt who said we'd lose to Utd 'because of their attacking players'. How'd that go Lawrenson??
Forgive me if i don't go too much on what he says!
Only 5 managers have won CL's with 2 clubs or more. Just because he hasn't done it elsewhere doesn't mean he's shit. I guess Alex Ferguson is a fraud too?
It's weird. The further we get from the great Barca side he created the more I see people make out he had little to do with it. As if they weren't mid table plodders before he transformed them.
There's nothing pathetic about trying to get Lionel Messi into your squad if you can. Actually, the opposite is true. You should be trying all you can to get the best player of all time in your squad.
It's an integral part of management to look to improve your side.
Giving Guardiola shit for spending when we have Jose Mourinho as our manager is a hoot.
Think we will do them and Pep will regret signing that new contract.
I cannot recall saying he is sh!t.
He was however blessed with the best club footballer maybe of all time who had a cast alongside him that many managers would have been successful with.
And then Bayern have 1 or 2 teams to beat in the Bundesliga and then here and with all the riches he has been given, maybe 2 or 3 teams realistically.
So I stand that in failing to even get to a CL final that reasonable questions remain, which won't change too much for me, even if a less potent Messi arrives on the scene.
But sh!t Guardiola is not but neither is he at Ferguson, Wenger or Mourinho's level in my opinion.
Why does it feel like we haven’t had a game for 6 months
Ah the main man is back. Good to see you reacquainted sir.
Try maybe to be less forthright with the amoebas.
I’ve been back for weeks buddy......just decided to back out and save the world from a 100 page cunt off with Arc, who happens to think that drawing 3-3 is worse than losing
7-2
You'll be happy to know I took on the mantle and lured him into the bin.I’ve been back for weeks buddy......just decided to back out and save the world from a 100 page cunt off with Arc, who happens to think that drawing 3-3 is worse than losing

You're all welcome.
How about we go for not conceding in the first ten minutes, or the final ten minutes, and keeping a clean sheet in the middle bit? No goals in injury time would be good, too.
On paper looks good.
But I look at that team and think apart from rodri, who's going to track back and be defensively disciplined?
Their defence has looked ridiculously good recently to be fair.
No way! LOL
