We need speed at the back , rather than height / power , and with the side I've chosen there will be less need for fullbacks to commit to attack

Probably would need one striker & an extra mid to start.

............................Hart
...........Pablo.......... Vince............ Clichy
...................Fern.Garcia.Milner............
...........Nasri..........YaYa............Silva......
..........................Aguero...............

But like I say; we'd probably fuck it up badly having never done it before.

use 100% of our possession to attack them
take our chances when they come
keep 11 on the park
play our game
select the best available in every position
use the bench to add energy and threat
fight to the end
oh and silence the home crowd

Keep it tight and look to break away and score.Even if that doesn't happen continue to frustrate and grow into the game more and more.Score one just before or after halftime and they will start to get worried. Still winning 1 nil with 15 to go and we make changes and go for them and of course they will crumble as we score two in the last 10 minutes.

But we don't need to frustrate them, we need to score 2 or 3. If we were preserving a lead by all means play on the break but we're not.

Surely we have to attack, quite a lot?

I just hope someone tells Pellers we need to score AT LEAST 2 and he doesn't stop at 1-0 like in the fuck up against Bayern

Garcia behind Yaya and Fernandino dropping back to cover Komps or Lescott when either of them cover for Zabs or Kolarov when they use the wings. Nasri and Silva behind Aguero. Fingers crossed.

Sadly...that's an important point!

I hope they're aware this time.

I hope they're aware we need to score at least 3.

I don't fancy a penalty shootout at the Nou camp.

City are capable of scoring 3 against anybody, anywhere. If we do that, we can let one in & still go through. Score 4 & we can let 2 in.

Can't see us going through with 2.

As Martin Tyler said 'this is the team that comes back and finds a way to win in the most improbable of circumstances'
And I know he's held in high regard here ;)
