They’ve been doing that for weeks if not months.
They are knackered.
Fixed
Yes, I agree (and said as much on here the other day).
You asked if people really think they’ll ’turn it on’ and all I’m countering is that they’ll probably absolutely bust a gut to do so (ie. The Klopp leaving effect) and a one off European tie has a significant precedent with us unlike others (we often thrive)…ultimately though, I think fatigue will probably do for us.
I'd like to know why you think they are more fatigued than the Arsenal + City 1st team players - since, according to the table of minutes played per player, the top 10 players (by minutes) in each squad, they have played the equivalent of around 6 games more than ours (due to the injuries in our squad and use of youngsters).
I think they look very fatigued as well. Whether they are or if they should be is a different issue.
Which is why I still think we have a chance. Villa blocked out Arsenal and they had nothing left to give in the second half. Shitty got the benefit of a comical own goal after 90 seconds. Which gives energy to city and Luton knew they couldn’t get anything. Had Luton held out for say 20 minutes the doubt and fatigue starts to set in the city squad.

Pat Cash(out)?
He's got a worse goal record than ANY of our forwards this season ! You'd be banking on magic. Hang on - just checked who posted this, Mystic. As you were.
Origi has one single mission left. April 28. Forest vs city.
Very rarely away from home in a second leg though, and never when trailing 3-0.
It’s done. They will most likely win the second leg too.
I don’t. I don’t give them any chance at all.
Our style of play, training and methods are far more taxing both mentally and physically than theirs. Just listen to the Milner interview after he left. We train like nothing he’s ever seen and he’s been at City.
We have significantly more chance in the league than Europe but if we do go all out then Fulham will batter us on the weekend.
And yet our pressing is way down on both of them. Look at the pressing stats again. And Milner hasn't trained at Arsenal (or City for a decade) so how the fuck would he know?
Jota first half hat trick. Danns second half hat trick.
Donkey to be shit.
Donkey to be shit.
It will never happen but playing Danns in a nothing to lose game and finding out he's the bee's knees is exactly what we should use this game for when he scores 4 goals a game for the rest of the season
FOR THE REST OF HIS CAREER!!!!!!!!
We need a hero tonight. Gini was an unlikely one against Barca, Smicer, Baros and Cisse against Milan, you never know what will happen. The likelihood is we will lose the tie, we know that, but only an absolute try-hard fanny would try to be completely dismissive of us going there and fighting for a result.
