    I guess the big hitters will be back tonight.

    Kompany isn’t fit for this.Clichy is touch
    and go also?

    Monaco are top of the pile in France,and have scored
    lots of goals in a poor French league.

    Falcao has got 19.How bad was he at United and Chelsea
    in the two years previous?

    From what little I’ve seen of them.We’ll have
    to keep a close eye on Mbappe.Lemar.Silva.Bakayoko
    (if all selected)

    Plus their Brazilian right back Fabinho.Who we’ve been
    linked with.

    It’s very important for the EPL that City win this tie. Pep has to pick his best players, so no Bravo please. If Monaco are so swift then it may be time to spell Toure. Hopefully Aguero will be up for this one and get a couple of goals. It should be an interesting match. Time not to be caught on the break.

    What a game. Had to watch on TV. Exhausted!
    How good was the attack.
    How bad the defence!

    Otemendi rating? 2/10 for me.

    Aguero will get so much confidence from that, whew….

    44 years of being a city fan condensed into 93 mins. That’s why I love this club – CTID( and I nearly did tonight!!)

    WOW what a game and what an atmosphere… some quick points:

    – Ottomendi absolutely rubbish, a walking liability and an expensive more hairy Richard Dunne (one step forward, one step back)
    – Fernandinho – whilst I love him as a player, is no left-back, Monaco knew this an exploited him to the hilt… please learn Pep
    – Aguero – like a man possessed. Unplayable at times!
    – Sane – is turning into a real top player (ditto for Sterling)
    – Ref, not watched the game back on TV yet but their were several contentious calls which friends (who I respect) at home were having differing opinions. The quicker we have video 4th officials the better (that said the feeling of injustice, led to a better atmosphere, which raised the team!)
    – Stones – was lambasted on the radio home, I thought he made one mistake (Falcaos second goal) and as above Ottomendi was a far worse culprit
    – Finally, I have rarely clapped an opposition goal at City (Zolton Gera a few years a go being the last one) however I applauded Falcao’s 2nd strike tonight – what a great finish

    Setup to be a cracker in 3 weeks time!

    What a game that was.Best I’ve ever seen at the Etihad.
    I’m still marvelling at the second half performance.

    Pleased for Kun.He looked like a man possesed in the
    second half 🙂

    I hope Kompany will be fit for the second leg.

    Could not sleep after the that game.
    Had a puls that must have been so near a heartattack.
    Otamendi had a very bad game But beside John Stones defending on Falcaos goal he did a good game i think it could not have been easy play alongside Otamendi in that game. But to be fair i choose to say that Falcao did a superb effort on the goal so strong on the ball rather then blame Stones.
    But yesterdays game showed again how we do not got any fullbacks. until we get that we Will not se the full effect on Peps style.
    You could Also se Aguero was fighting as he should when he lost the ball or made a bad pass he runed and got it back he was sensational yesterday. Hope he is back in form

    Only saw the highlights but looked a cracking game and a brilliant atmosphere, especially in the 2nd half. Think we might been to score at least once over there though…

    Agree bluefen on fernadinho, never a left back and we lose so much energy in midfield when he’s not there. Pep looking at Milners conversion maybe?

    Btw, did they have Bravo in goal for Augero’s first?

    Must take issue Huntr, “the most exciting, most compelling and most fulfilling game” I’ve ever watched was QPR, May 2012. That will never, ever be rivalled.
