I feel we are overusing Haaland.

Your City line-up in Lisbon!

XI | Ederson, Lewis, Simpson-Pusey, Akanji, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Bernardo (C), Savinho, Foden, Nunes, Haaland

SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Carson, Walker, Ake, Doku, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Wright, O'Reilly, McAtee, Wilson-Esbrand

I assume Gvardiol will be central with SP on the left. Be a big ask for him to start an away CL game against an in form team at his age on his full debut

Best to play in his own position, surely?

Well there's no back up. And Haaland doesn't exactly finish the game dripping in sweat.

[Nigels Tackle]

I take it nobody is feeling too confident tonight?

Come on City!

never confident when we line up in our tracksuit tops v a team that’s just in their kit

[stevefromdonny]

Hope we play a lot better then we did Saturday, and ffs attack with pace or at least shoot when we get the chance

Could argue Gvardiol is a centre back

[nottsblue]
