Shakhtar Donetsk (h) pre-match thread

Eye Pea Tee Vee its the way forward

Twas moi.

I did say ahead of Danilo though, not the entire prospect of playing left back. Seeing him struggle defensively against West Brom and Danilo not starting the last CL match, I am surprised and disappointed.

Probably saving him for Chelsea

Bertrand is not the only potential backup LB in the world. 1 foreign spot was/is free.

We kept that free for Sanchez.

Surprised Sterling doesn't start considering he went off after 60 minutes on Saturday.

 

[Yates]

Delph is an ok back up at LB, he's a pretty good stand up defender and works his arse off so he won't be giving their wingers an easy time.

Great. City OS down.......... BOLLOCKS!

 

[ninjamonkey]

Great to see Gundogan on the bench. Thought Yaya and Bernardo would get a game today, the slower European football suits them more. I know it's only September but we should be making better use of the squad to keep them all as fresh as possible and to get a bit of form into the players not getting a game right now. There's only really Sterling and a debate at left back as possible changes for the weekend, the vast majorit of them will be playing 3 games in a week. Not ideal.

Fuck me thats a good team. Our attack should blitz them.

 

[kaz7]

I'm strangely confident,we can always out score them ala monaco but i really want us to not let them get an away goal

No mugs these lot so we better be as sharp as we have been so far. Give them no quarter!
