Team News
Man City
Monaco
- Ilkay Gundogan, Vincent Kompany and Gabriel Jesus are all sidelined for Pep Guardiola's side, while Gael Clichy will face a late fitness test with the left-back suffering with a back problem.
- Yaya Toure has been recalled to City's Champions League squad and is expected to start alongside Fernandinho, with one of Raheem Sterling or Leroy Sane set to start from the bench.
- Sergio Aguero is likely to lead the attack here, while Willy Caballero could keep his place between the sticks.
- Leonardo Jardim is without the suspended Jemerson for the trip to Manchester, with the doubtful Andrea Raggi in line to partner Kamil Glik in defence.
- Tiemoue Bakayoko and Guido Carrillo are also doubts.
- Boschilia is ruled out due to a knee issue.
number two stones is a something he litterally gifted two goals to monaco one could imagine if man city had proper defender with otamendi(who himself sometimes flatter to decieve) would monaco would have score more goals. I said on my previous post monaco would hunt down man city defene becoz of stones presence. he will never be new boateng. boateng had raw potetial stones on the other hand doesn't. What is ball playing defender. Stones is okay for a ball playing defender i guess. Not the kind hummels, badstubber, bonucci, alderwield,Kalidou Koliabily, David Luiz ginter or romanoli who actually creates chances for their team through deadly ball, cross field balls etc etc.
i think baldy should understand by now that it would be bad joke if they sold a diamond like aguero. He need to chill as Jesus has scored hardly scored 3 goals. That is same as Martial and look how great he is. He is good but not on aguero level. Same for Jesus. He tracks back, he presses and has got neat link up play but his dribbling for a brazilian is just plain average. Infact statically speaking Jesus doesn't do much dribbles. Aguero on the otherhand is like the best player in engliand. If guardiola sells that would be a plain mistake. Jesus is not the saviour Aguero is.
Glad to know Kun was the MOTM, also he could show his abilities. Hope he keep it up fighting for his placement in the team.
Monaco can still easily go through. welcome to ligue 1
@jefferee- I fancy City to score at least 3 in the return leg which means Monaco will need 5 minimum. I don't see that happening.
@SteveHyland with Jemerson back Monaco will be better (can't get worse) defensively. Tall order though. But if Monaco win 4-2 and go through on away goals the away goals rule should be scrapped for that reason alone.
@jefferee If 2-0 is easily than yes ...
this mbappe is amazing though
John Stones makes 2 errors leading to goals and gets a 7.1!
@Nico1 the rating system is flawed. everyone gets a grade up for every goal scored and they get a grade down for every goals they concede. it does it matter if they touch the ball or not, for example kun can steal the ball from the cb and score, nobody did anything, it was all kun getting the steal and scoring. everyone on the team will get a plus score for his effort, also every player that plays for the winning team gets a plus score for getting the win. so at the end the teams that score the most games and win the most games will have the players w the highest grade even if they had an avg year. i sometimes compare players and find one that plays for a mid table team have higher number on everything category but the ratings is much lower because the team is more successful at getting results.
@edemex exactly.Sometimes a team that plays much better football can lose (or draw) because of bad luck, referee etc. It will have lower rating(or very close in case of draw) for sure anyway. Or, for example, one can dribble opponent and have an assist to an empty goal to his team mate. Both will get the same bonus score. Or vice versa - a simple pass then a great goal. Scoring system is sometime very far from reality
@Nico1 he scored a goal.
@Nicky77 Not just " a " goal, he scored the goal !
Sunday League defending.
Monaco were very unlucky
@MagicHatemB , don't worry , they can still qualify
What did I say? City improved their defending and final ball and now mounted a stunning comeback. Well done to both teams, and what a match! Can't wait for the game in Monaco.
@alric8 You saw improved defending in City today's performance? Strong weed you're smoking.
@El_Duderino look at the comment I made around the 50th minute and you'll see what I mean. Overall of course man city defended awfully, but in the final 30 minutes they weren't terrible.
Big *LOL*
hahaha 3 offside goals, oscar for uefa and referee, now they should give Russian or Portugal one in Monaco
@koziol.mutant Are you even real??
2 offside goals by city.... spanish referee
@koziol.mutant mate, there was only 1 doubtful goal,(thoughit looks like Sterling was on 1 line with the ball) you write 2 then 3:) Just read again on the offside rule, you are missing smth here or just trolling as always
They learnt how to play Barca way. Crowd the ref n try to affect his decisions
Agüero, what a strike ...
selfish Lemar...
Great game ! Old school back and forth action ...
@neumi17 Are you talking about Bayer 04 vs Atletico game?
@KlaasJanHuntelaar This one too : )
No error for Subasic ?
Faaalcaoooooo
@koziol.mutant Off side ...
lol Subas-ic, Monaco should bring better one
Falcao was always going to miss that penalty, I could just tell. Glik should have taken it. Otherwise great performance from Monaco so far. Man city need to defend better and they need to improve their final ball.
Otamendi wants to play for Real Madrid. Lol
City`s defence is something extraordinary -bring that injured Kompany at last and it ll improve for sure. Caballero was ok before, his assists today are more than awful.
You should give Otamendi "error lead to goal" as well
Cra Cra! Falcao is still around? Thought he landed in the MLS or whatever after his Man Utd/Chelsea disaster.
Fabinho is a monster! 2 assists!!
Stones looks like a statue out there...
la liga fans know this ref is terrible
it's understandable why pep prefers Jesus to aguero. it's a wonder why people don't see
@DeanO wtf he played very good today so far, defensively responsible, check to the ball more instead of waiting for the pass. also passes more. he learned a lot after being benched by jesus. b4 getting benched id say jesus over aguero, but if aguero can play like he did this game every game then definitely aguero over jesus
Mbappe > Rashford
@ImADope =
great Monaco:) score more
Why does Agüero dive when he just have to put the ball into the empty net ? Strange for a striker...
@neumi17 Guardiola is from Barcelona dive school, dont forget
@neumi17 he is overrated as Guardiola. Aguero needs like 6 100% chances to score
go Monaco finish this overrated "coach"
A few years ago looked like Germany were the team in Europe with the most young talent, these days France and Portugal look streets ahead.
this referee is really pathetic and joke
Hopefully Russian or Portugal referee in Monaco home match
Faaalcaooooooooooooooooo
What a great assist by Sané...!
@neumi17 great? pass to teammate who is offside? lol
@koziol.mutant Yes great ! Superb dribbling against several players and that a perfect pass to Sterling who was NOT OFF SIDE as every camera clearly showed. Don`tknow why you have so much obvious negativity inside but a little more respect for other players would be nice.If a player of your favourite team would have done what Sane did you `d be cheering like crazy ...
UEFA nice joke, Spanish referee did not see clear offside goal by City. Who put Spanish referee in charge of this match?
Narrow win City
@neumi17 Ha, ha ...
both teams to score nuff said
@RemyLebeu nuff said
@RemyLebeu EZ$$$$
I think Monaco will score, at least once- via a Stones or Otamendi error, but City will win. 2-1 or 3-2. Went for 3-2.
Monaco on F.I.R.E.
Both teams to score and Monaco wins. 7.75 @ Ladbrokes
Sané to score
@neumi17 Ha,ha, you people ... ;-)
@neumi17- Possible with how teams don't yet respect his ability to ghost past defenders into goal-scoring positions. He is a player you always have to keep a watch on because with his pace (particularly his acceleration- the first few steps if you will), he can be gone before you realise it. A fast attacker >>> fast defender every day of the week.
Kamil Glik motm
1-1
Monaco win or draw and Falcao to score.
2-nil monaco. As long as stones is playing you expect monaco to exploit man city defense.
I expect first HT to be draw, possible 0:0 HT, then 2nd HT btts at least 1 goal... GL
4:0
guys guys guys Man City isn't Arsenal, they will not go down in 1/8 finals
@fervour21 called it
city gagne 3a1
Multiple source says Moutinho instead of Bakayoko, 4-3-3 -> high pressing.
Since it is clear who will hold possession here(Man city) I go for a Monaco win or draw. Nuff said
anything can happen in 90 mins maybe monaco think their so good and send their 'reserve' team or monaco attacking get neutralized either way am backing city all the way
Man City needs to bring back Pelligrini!!!! Watching paint dry is more exciting than Man City's current form.
Everyone thinks the match will draw or Monaco will win. So that City will get a comfortable win.
One where everyone is predicting an upset, making it not an upset. 1-1 seems likely.
@dSquib , Monaco win is an upset ? Really ?
@footballover Read again. . .
@dSquib- No chance of having more than the top 5% on this site understanding what you meant, as is evident by the fact you have 5 downvotes for your original and 3 for your subsequent comment. The lack of a command of the English language doesn't help but the lack of logic is more to blame for the general lack of comprehension on here imo.
@SteveHyland Haha, yeah. I don't expect people on here to be geniuses but it would be nice if they could read.
Monaco can really win against Manchester City. i see them win 3-1 . Best Paris Fan
Arsenal and Tottenham fans can tell you what this Monaco team is like.Pep Guardiola's men must pay attention to every detail of Monaco's football simply because they will be facing the highest scoring team in Europe's top 5 leagues.Bernardo Silva might put City's defence to the sword if they understimate his high intensity skills.Manchester City needs to win convincingly at home for them to dream of advancing to the next level. However I see it differently,monaco will do what they've been doing in the past against PL teams. My prediction Mancity 1-2 Monaco
3 - 1
Monaco has performed at a very high level this season. They have a lot of great players and lots of talents. If they can withstand the pressure from Manchester City, they are surely going to eliminate them. From what I've known from Pep, they are going to attack vigorously but they need to be very careful in the build up otherwise they could get into big trouble.
