Just don't turn up. Can't beat us if we don't play. 

Just sign Fernando La Fuente. Job done!

Lyon beat their first team at the Etihad in Champions League and then draw at home crushing them (2.2 xG vs 0.4 xG).
I hope Puel saw the two games.

Claude's trawling eBay for a DeLorean and he's going back to the future.. When Manchester City were in league one. 

[foxfanazer]

Okazaki as the lone striker ?

[ozvaldo]

Kasper

 

Simpson, Lord Farquad, Harry, Evans, Wes, Fuchs, Chilwell

 

N’Didi, Papy, Iborra 

 

 

[Ted Maul]

Play a full-strength side and hope they make changes. I'd much rather win this than the league game.

I really can't wait for Ghezzal to be on the same pitch as Riyad Mahrez. 

What a depressing thought ?

[BoyJones]

The only plan is to score more bleeding goals than them - do a Wigan on them - no mistakes and make your one chance count. 

 

Dont over complicate, they are more skilful, so let's be more street savvy. We need a negative, staccato, boring game to frustrate them. I love it when we play crap, frustrate the opposition and win - as per our five 1-0 wins in spring 2016, when we were poor, but very savvy., especially at home. Norwich, Newcastle and Southampton!!!

[mozartfox]

This is a game that Wes should sit out.  Play the strongest team but keep Wardy and Caglar in and .............you never know.     

[Hanan96]

Puel going to start in midfield. 

Creativity problem solved 

[yorkie1999]

Re-sign Huth. He scored 2 against them for us, and Bamba. That's 3 goals sorted, just need a couple or three more and we might be in with a chance of peno's

Anti Puel brigade heavy on the bitching and moaning today. standard

[TheStig]

Well if you have a plan to beat Man City - please use it in the PL as well - we also like to win there

[siraaj_lcfc]

He best have a plan. This tourney is one of limited chances at success this season. We took it to pens last year until Riyad and Vardz Fvcked up. If we manage to go 10 minutes without sterling sticking his meat into our defence's A hole, Danny Ward will save our bacon.

Bore them to death.

Is this not his job 

?

[FoxNotFox]

I feel this is a game where our 'lack of creativity' wont be our biggest problem. We'll need to be much more organised at the back, and in midfield, than we've shown. Puel limits defensive duties by controlling the ball and pressing, which works fine when we've got the ball. Man City are masters of 'keep ball', have been honing it for years and have the players technically competent to do it. We don't beat them at their own game, not yet anyway. We've got to know how to play without the ball for this one, particularly at the back. 

 

Play the right game against Man City and you will get chances to score, but we will need to get the defensive bit right to stay in the game.

I’m still looking for the quote from Puel that actually relates to the headline.

Just as long as we don't play the match winners of those 3 games. Ulloa we can't but Okazaki and Morgan? 

[Leicester_Loyal]

They'll beat up by a couple of goals.
