Feyenoord v City pre-match thread

[Eds]

Important to win tonight as I expect the group winners will be between us and Napoli and it will be good to play Napoli at home on the back of two wins. Puts them under a bit of pressure when they come to us to not lose. Happy to keep it tight first half give them nothing to cheer about and then having passed them of the park ease to a 3-0 win. However as it's City and Pep expect a 3 5 2 concede early and then win a nail biter 3 2

Take this game for granted at our peril

I don't think we should even consider resting anyone until we're past the last international break of 2017.

As long as he puts the strongest avail team out, it doesn't really matter

 

[argyle]

With all the talk about storms in Holland is there any suggestion that the game could be called off?

[SWP's back]

Are you suggesting a 4-3-3 with Jesus out wide, primarily on the left where he played most for Palmeiras, is always unfeasible?

Because Pep disagrees.

Really? He's played him there once in 15 matches so I think he does agree.

To answer my question, I'd drop Aguero out of the two and go for pace with Sterling and Sane either side of Jesus.

 

[Chi-town blues]

So you dropping Aguero or Jesus?

Yes.
45 mins for each depending on the situation as the game progresses.
We need fresh legs on Saturday.

 

[Armaan]

But Walker is in your team above tee hee

Sorry I meant rest Danilo, not walker. We will comfortably beat them with whatever side we put out. We need to keep the legs fresh for Saturday away to Watford which will be a much harder game. All due respect to feyernood but this really should be a walk in the park.

A front four of Sterling Sane Bernardo and Jesus is more than enough to see them off. The premier league at this stage is more important.

I have fond memories of that place when I was 14, thank you!
