John Stones exists solely to create a situation where fat Mancunians waddle around with "24 Stones" on the back of their shirts and don't see the irony in it.

we had no chance away at Seville based on how we were playing, going into the 2nd leg anybody who had a good understanding of both teams, their form, and Sevilla's congested schedule would say it was a 50/50 prospect to advance.

Don't disregard potential injuries and/or suspensions. And daily form. A lot can still happen in the space of four weeks.

 

I see how dangerous Monaco are on the attack (defensive midfielders included), but the same cannot be said about their defensive setup.

Intriguing tie nonetheless.

Because Monaco are just a rich tinpot club

They have too much pace and physicality, we won't cope with Monaco if they overload us. Morgan and Huth will really struggle when their midfield and fullbacks win any individual duel. I really don't want them.

 

But the point is that we're also fast and strong and we'll be right up in their faces in their own half from the first whistle. Nobody else in this competition plays quite like we did against Sevilla, against possibly Atletico, and that's a strength in and of itself.

 

I don't think Buffon was being patronising saying they don't want us, I think he meant it. Not because he thinks we're the best team left in but because we're horrible to play against when we're confident.

 

We're nasty, niggly and aggressive but we're not big, thick and slow with it. We're hectic, ferocious and fast.

 

That's a lot for a young, inexperienced squad to cope with.

 

Man City are the perfect team for this Monaco team to play, we'd be the antithesis of that.

 

No way we'd be favourites but no way they're harder for us to beat than the Spanish three or Bayern either.

And Monaco is bloody expensive - unless you camp at nearby Nice.

Only way of doing it really. The more I think about it, the more I'd like a really big allocation and give the fans something special.

Man City are shit. At this rate we'll be England's only representative in the Champs league.

 

 

As an aside. If we drew Barcelona, how big would our allocation be?

Posted

I want the easiest draw possible. So on that basis 

 

Dortmund

Monaco 

Atletico Madrid 

Real Madrid

Juventus 

Bayern Munich

Barcelona

 

The last 2 are interchangeable. 

 

No matter who we face it will be super hard. When Dortmund are the so called "easiest" draw you know we are mixing with elite clubs.

Lots of time left for man shitty but we may be the lone english club left. What an embarassment to the so called 'big' clubs if so.

Not sure why every pundit jumps to defend Stones when the reality is he's a poor defender who is only consistent in making costly mistakes.

 

Theres plenty more young English defenders who I rate higher than him.

He has actually not played bad this game, the midfield and forward players cost them for both goals. Sterling has little to no intelligence, he only thrives when u tell him to drive past somebody and put a simple ball in. If you look at the 2nd goal, what type of human being, not footballer can't access that letting Fabinho be goal side of him with a huge gap in the box is fatal?
