it's also a cup final...

Have zero expectations.

All we need is a draw but we'll royally mess it up or make it hard for ourselves in the process.

What happens, happens. And I expect it to be the fans fault at some point

We had that in the first leg with Besic's fantastic challenge on Toure.

He's a massive loss for this one.

Yeh he is. He was a massive loss yesterday! McCarthy being fit is key... fingers crossed he is

This is going to be an away at Dinimo Kiev snotting. Can feel it in my bones. 3-1 city / 4 - 3 aggregate.

This is what's playing on my mind.

In that game, we only had to not concede 2 goals and we'd go through. We were 3.1 down at half time.

We're draw specialist, most in any top league in Europe I believe. So you'd think at a time when we need a draw, we'd get one.

But this is Martinez's Everton.

Funny feeling it's going to be kiev away all over again, hope i'm wrong but not overly confident...

2-2, Lukaku and Barkley.

I'm a bit worried by his absence also. What's the news with Jimmy Mac? We definitely need one of them to shackle their midfield.

Desmond,this i think,lukaku and Barkley,and we're through,coyb,do it for us,you bloody well owe us this,up the toffs!

2-2. Barkley scores late.

If he's not fit could we possibly play Stones in a holding role or is that just too Football Manager esque chat?

A bit FM I think to be trying it in a semi-final at the etihad. Plus don't think he has the pace or strength to deal with Toure.
