    Beating Man City away would be a great way for Puel to stick two virtual fingers up at me. :rolleyes:

    It's not so easy when the opposition aren't having to keep eight players back at all times to mark Messi.

    (Although I can still see City turning this around)

    His style can come across as cocky at times but I'd much rather have Mark refereeing our games than East or Mason or pretty much anyone else apart from Oliver whom I rated equally as highly.

    On the other hand, we're half way to being able to say we've beaten City away with our 3rd choice RB and 3rd choice LB, three days after an away EL game.

    I think we need a second. But I think we can get a second.

    Agreed. City will give us more chances. Its just a case of being clinical when we get them.

    Could it be the moment for the Moroccan Messi?


    (Answer = probably not).

    Indeed. Though I'm not sure McQueen is our 3rd choice LB anymore.

    De Bruyne off = good.

    Iheanacho on = really bad.

    De Bruyne wasn't any good, so their sub makes sense.

    Clasie, just never shoot. Let's make that an unwritten rule from now on.
