Shakhtar Donetsk (h) pre-match thread

[Blue Llama]

no Gundogan, Sterling or Bernardo in the starting line up, i would have expected at least one but there you go, c'mon City!

Who would you have left out for one of them?

 

[Dax777]

Is it possible he will play a back 3 of fern, stones and Ota with walker and Sane as wing backs and Delph as CDM?

Possible... But highly unlikely

I do not think an away goal counts just yet - league system

Only in a head to head on tied points, not "away goals" as such.

Delph deserves his shot

I have always felt he is a fine player and done himself justice when called upon. I agree he deserves a chance to get stuck in, not saying it must be tonight but he does deserve a chance to show he can be the new Fenandinho etc.

They are boring.

They are but they are nice about us at least,kiss of death them saying we could score 5 or 6

Good live feed anybody

happy to see delph in starting 11, hope he has a good game

 

[Bluep*ss]

As both teams are on 1 win each = 3 points - a win - at home -is a must .
When do napoli play Feyenoord ?

I like how Lescott refers to city as "us"

 

[Manc in London]

Bit of a worry with Delph at full back as they have pace out wide. Hopefully, Stones, rather than Otamendi plays, immediately inside Delph.
