Don't think this game is going to be the kind of nail biter recent league games have been. The pressure is on City, they being the ones with their eyes on the silverware, we have our eyes on promotion, having said that pretty sure Pep hasn't forgotten his last visit to the Liberty, when he left the Liberty with OUR victory.
I would imagine he'll take no chances and put out a strong team. There won't be many pundits that will expect us to progress past this round, but the stronger their team the greater the test for us, I'm just looking forward to a good entertaining game.

No Aguerro tomorrow .... jammy bar steward is not going to be around to steal another offside goal.

I am excited and looking forward to the game with no expectations ... but of course, we will win!

I just hope this is going to be a tight game and the lads enjoy it. No doubt Pep is going to choose his best XI. Fingers crossed.

Game is being covered by BT Sport but no Swans stream allowed. Will have to get a radio commentary from somewhere. As for the game, I think we all accept that we're on a hiding to nothing. Even if we play to our best and Citeh at their worst, I don't see us winning. Not being a doom merchant, just realistic. The way Citeh are playing right now they could well stick 4 or 5 or more on us. But I sincerely hope that we don't freeze and pay them too much respect. We need to get stuck into them to coin an old-fashioned phrase and make them work for anything they get.

I'll be happy if we manage to give them a game and come away without a confidence destroying hammering. COYS!!

No experienced Bennett either!! Cooper obviously resting a few for our promotion charge given that we've little hope of progressing in the Cup. Lati been picked at CB, so maybe Coops is hoping he'll have a point to prove to his former club. Have to say that Pep has selected a strong team but then he'd have a hell of a job to select a weak one!! :(:)

WTF - no Ayew !?! We're going to start Morris .... are we strapping an oxygen tank to his back?

Dhanda, Lowe and Morris have some pace. The plan is to sit back and try to score from counter. I expect Cooper to bring in Ayew and Hourihane in the second half.

In summary, we're playing a B XI against the country's #1 team's starting XI ... and we're further complicating our lives by starting Morris who gave up the ghost on closing down the opposition after 3 sprints and 5 minutes after coming on in the last game.

I guess we're going to spot them a couple of goals ... sub up around minute 70 and then crush them in a come-back of the ages.

Does Lati start in the center of the back 3 or Cabango. I'm guessing Cabango.

Is Latibeaudiere a RB? I think that's what he has been but I'm sure he can play in the middle.
