Second leg v Newcastle

[gavin]

CITY XI: Trafford, Nunes, Khusanov, Ake (C), Ait-Nouri, Nico, Reijnders, O'Reilly, Semenyo, Foden, Marmoush

Subs: Donnarumma, Dias, Haaland, Cherki, Rodri, Nypan, McAidoo, Alleyne, Lewis

A few changed but a strong team

[Swiss]

Interested to see if Nypan or McAidoo comes on.

[KunDB]

A strong team indeed and more than good enough to win this game.

We need to have a fast start, be alert and expect to be pressured and scythed down by Newcastle players in the early stages. They'll be hoping for early pressure and an early goal.

Calmness and playing our own game, passing, proving & creating chances.

C' mon City let's get to the final so we can beat Arsenal at Wembley.

Yet another experiment. The constant changing of the side leads   to unpredictability.

[gavin]

3-0 up at half time. 5-0 on aggregate. We are going to have a hell of a job on to fuck this one up in the second half.

[KunDB]

Great first half. Quick tempo and scoring on the break.

[Swiss]

Dull 2nd half again
