Same category as Brighton. Real and Barca whenever we play them.

Can’t see anything other than a home win. I think we’ll blast them like we did in the away tie.

I was really hoping we’d get these over Chelsea. Obviously we’re not going to be favourites but that’s a proper Champions League tie

Woltemade up front or on the bench for me. I’m not sure I’m buying into this midfield experiment and can only see it hindering his chances of making it here moving forward. He also caused them problems in the away game so would lean towards starting him. If not it’s got to be Gordon I guess. If we get a win here the and keep the momentum going the season could starting looking like it’s turning into something.

Slight hamstring issue I think I read

Came to post this. Maresca must be a genuine fraudster

Strong. I hope Wolt gets in on the goals

Was apparently one of Nickson’s top targets and scouted him for over a year but we didn’t move for him.

I think more specifically we’d been scouting him for a long time according to reports. Then didnt compete for him. Then he obviously looked instantly brilliant in a position we haven’t been strong in for as long as I can remember.

Seen some of the clips floating around of Rayan off the back of his goals for Bournemouth. What the fuck are we doing not competing for players like that.

Sad but true

Pleased Cherki isn’t starting

I feel like everytime I’ve seen him play he’s been shit in front of goal and giving away stupid free kicks charging into people. Not saying you’re wrong just my experience of the bits of Chelsea games I’ve seen when he’s been on.

Same. Never ever confident playing City away - especially under Pep.

All fair points

Not sure I agree with that as the eye test suggests otherwise.

Nice to see some completely normal and not fabricated stories after Gordon’s 4 goals in here… oh

Hound. Him. Out.

I’m not expecting this to be straight forward at all but in reckon we’ll get a narrow win

That bench is so sparse 😬

I swear there was someone on here saying Kelly was better than Lewis Hall at left back

Our cup draws over the past couple of seasons needs to be investigated

Bruno is not even nearly almost like that. Not by stats or the eye test.

We should just pay the money for him. It’s our first team keeper sorted for the foreseeable future.

There’s so much to this lad’s game if we manage him correctly there’s a really top striker here.
