We'll kill this team tonight - kill 'em

Not their strongest squad though it must be said

Now all we need is for one little injury to Messi just close to the game, or perhaps on the game morning ... which just keeps him out that day ... how demotivating will that be for them and a boost for us just before kick-off ... kinda like how Scum showed up for derby without RVP this season and were doomed from that point on psychologically ...

I have a half and half scarf for our first game in the Champions League, it was a momentous occasion and worth remembering.

Fenerbahçe ?

That looks nasty.

Bad times - was that tonight?

@ESPNFC: From @ESPNFC's @dermotmcorrigan: @FCBarcelona's Neymar has a sprained tendon in his right ankle, tests tomorrow, from sources at Getafe.

i believe it was about an hour or so ago.

Very lucky he hasn't snapped something. May make City if a sprain, saying that, last time I had a sprain I was out for 3 months and was one of the worst injuries I've had.

On twitter reports it's likely 4 weeks as it's not as bad as first thought.

Watching our defence being turned inside out by Noone on several occasions does not fill me with confidence for when Messi's in town!

[ashton287]

Had an arsenal fan asking after tickets in work for him and a mate.

This game is gonna be massive. Anyone with even the remotest interest in football is gonna be watching and most neutrals will be cheering us on i think.

Hope we don't fucking bottle it.

It's a cunning plan

I suspect most 'neutrals' will be hoping we get battered

[Lee_R]

So do we have the view from a Barca fan?

If everyone is fit and available (yes, consider Nasri back too) how would you line up against Barca? 4-4-2 again or have we learnt from Bayern game?

Hart
Zaba - Komps - Demi - Kola
Ferdy - Yaya
Nasri - Silva
Negredo - Aguero

I think this is the best XI we have and Pelligrini's favourite lineup too ... Navas and Milner on the bench as plan B either way and the rest of the usual suspects on the bench to cover for defensive positions mainly, not game changers.

But biggest question is do you take off a striker and beef up the midfield, i.e slot Milner in from start (or Navas at home game) or do you keep the gaffer's favourite 4-4-2?

Do you mean for the home game or both? I think that line up if available and match fit is our best for the home game, but I don't really expect to see Nasri unfortunately.

The away game is different and will depend on the result in the first leg. If we are not already completely out of the tie I would want to start tighter and attack more later if required, but the boss will no doubt just go for it.
