Caballero, Sagna, Stones, Kolarov, Clichy, Fernandinho, Sterling, Silva (C), De Bruyne, Sané, Agüero

Bravo, Zabaleta, Navas, Delph, Otamendi, Yaya Touré, Iheanacho

Pep going for the away goal(s) that we will need with this attacking line up.

Cmon City.

[gavin]

Great team. I'm confident. Come on City.

[KunDB]

In our favour is the fact they will have to attack (at least eventually) leaving us room in attack. Get to half time drawing and I will be happy, happy, happy.

[Swiss]

Bloody hell Gav, I'm not sure I've ever been confident of a City win even if were 6-0 up with 10 on the clock 

[KunDB]

Absolute digshit from City first 25 mins and Silva woeful. We are not even second best so far. Wake up City and Pep.

[Swiss]

And now the game begins

[Ludo]

Shit, shit and more shit.

[gavin]

Absolute shite. If ever we can only be better in the second half was true this is it. Pep will give them a good talking to I'm sure. Just come out and win the second half, that's all it will take. We can do it.

[KunDB]

Far from over yet but we need to turn up and start playing   We have surrendered midfield and are nit working hard enough for each other.

[Gareth]

Just outplayed so far. Still, we came from behind in the first game. 

[Ludo]

Our decision making is f*cking awful

[KunDB]

A game of two halves we finally turned up let's get another now.

[Ludo]

If our defensive line was any higher for that free kick we'd be in their half....

[zacc]

Pep got tactics wrong first half imo. Monaco are playing niggly game too which is working for them. Not impressed with this ref !!

[KunDB]

Over the two legs our weaknesses cost us particularly in defence. Played a high line to defend a free kick and left a man on his own in the middle of our box.

[Ludo]

Utter fucking dung.

[KunDB]

Conceded 3 goals at home and away our defence is our mainnachillues heel.

[KunDB]

Conceded 3 goals at home and away our defence is our main Achilles  heel.

[gavin]

Yes, we gifted them goals in both legs. But De Bruyne had two chances to put in a ball like the one for their goal and one was far too hard and the other straight at the keeper. We don't have many great headers but you have to at least put the ball in the right area. And missed too many chances yet again.

[Hesperus]

And that's that. Only the FA cup to play for now and with our defence we've no chance there either.

I was desperate to get Pep but he can't organise the defence and has had more than enough time. 

He's fecked up the goal keeping position and made a bad defence worse.

Ive lost all confidence in him.
