Basel (H) - Pre match thread.

[waspish]

Foden scores tonight think he will be the youngest player to score in champs league.

 

[Gabriel]

I really rate Stones, at the moment he isnt playing his best though, surely.

Bravo always has the potential for a fuck-up, I am not part of the whole hate bravo thing, and he has been good, but he can be a calamity sometimes.

All keepers are capable of calamities. Ederson dropped 24 carat clangers away to Shaktar and Liverpool, but I don't have any problem with him. Bravo is coming off the back of a League Cup win and playing well, so good luck to him.

 

[Eaglechief]

Unlikely as it is I’d love to see one last bulldozing run through the opposition’s midfield. Tonight would be the best chance for him to actually pull it off.

Yeah! that would be a sight to behold again.

This may not be a popular opinion with this being a City fan forum but I feel like the team has a real good chance to win this. Danilo at his natural position, Stones and (to a lesser extent) Laporte with something to prove, Zinchenko looking better every match, Silky starting to grow into his role, Foden getting a start in a CL match will be extra motivated, Jesus looking to shake off the rust while Sane and Bernardo will be looking to continue their fine form. Add in the fact that this is possibly Yaya's final start for City and the team will really have some motivation to get a result.

Loads of kids here tonight which is good to see

After seeing line up .Basel to win by 2 goals imo.

I agree, going to watch Spurs now. ;-)

 

[Leto]

Foden starting means that the gimps that say that Guardiola doesn't promote youth will now change the goalposts to say he doesn't promote youth in more meaningful games.

Pathetic support

 

[Claytop]

On the tram to campus currently creeping along 5 meters at a time... presumably because walkers keep darting in front of it.

Anyone know how the queues look?

Rick will sort them out.

 

[@BluePhil8]

Great team.

I was taking the piss.

 

[worsleyweb]

I was taking the piss.

Oh sorry. As you were.

 

[buckshot]

Foden starting means that the gimps that say that Guardiola doesn't promote youth will now change the goalposts to say he doesn't promote youth in more meaningful games.

And when he does that it'll be that he's only using one or two youth players in big games.

 

[ojeme]

I love the lineup and I hope we can get Sane to have a good rest by relieving him from the game as quickly as possible.

 

[BlueMedic]

Nice. Looks brave, but in reality should be strong enough to win. Glad Foden starts, hope Diaz gets decent game time.

 

[schfc6]

Oh sorry. As you were.

No worries. I thought suggesting Corrie would have been too much.

 

[SebastianBlue]

The Disabled queue from Entrance S in queuing back to Mary D`s.

N1 queue is basically back to it.

 

[Blueknows]

Nice. Looks brave, but in reality should be strong enough to win. Glad Foden starts, hope Diaz gets decent game time.

Tosin also , all 3 have great futures in my opinion

 

[lastmanback]

Thats my cue for leaving the match day threads, gets earlier every week.

Forgot to ask what's your prediction. We can compare in post match :-)

 

[Bill]

Every cup match we have rotated this season we had to win it on pens. Lets not go through that again. .
