Lyon (a) pre-match thread

[pudge]

Have a feeling John, Eric, and Gabby are starting tonight, so that bet (like most like it) may be a money trap.

I'll give you any odds you like that Jesus won't start.

Wouldn’t have thought he’d mess with the team that much.
Win tonight and we can rest as many as we want in the hoffenheim game.
I suspect he’ll want to get tonight wrapped up.

*the bet isn’t a special or price boost for what it’s worth, I priced it myself as a double.

Alex Sandro Juve is also in a similar boat.
The treble for that is 60/1

He’s definitely the one of the three that is less likely, but still have an inkling it might happen given Kun applied himself but looked sluggish against the Hammers (wonder what could have zapped him of his energy...).

Still do not think Nico will start though, which would make that bet an unlikely payout.

Fair enough. I hope it works out, as long as it doesn’t impact our winning the match. ;-)

Cheers. Also just ran through the pre-match presser notes and saw that Pep confirmed it is a muscular issue picked up in training — it’s been a busy week/end so I’ve obviously missed a few bits.

@pudge You could have just caught me up! ;-)

I almost had free money!

Ha, would never have taken you up, for the same reasons as described in my original post. ;-)

 

[Chi-town blues]

Lyon seems like a well drilled team . They pressed us as one unit last time but we will bag 3 points today.
Come on city

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Having players good players out is always a worry but we still have enough to go there and win. I'm confident we will: )

 

[manygoose]

foden has got to play

 

[lionheart]

My gut feeling is that we won't win tonight, maybe a 2-2 draw, but we will beat Hoffenheim at home to seal the group winners position.

 

[Deleted member 81382]

Ederson
Danilo Stones Laporte Zinchenko
Fernandinho
Sterling Mahrez Silva Sane
Aguero​

Hate the competition but love match days,we have some key injuries but we'll go for the win,too big an occassion to start phil

 

[King KdB of Belgium]

I just hope that they are out with minor knocks, and that Pep just doesn't want to risk them getting a more serious injury. This gives a chance to both Phil Foden and Briham Diaz to shine.

With the passing of one off our former players and manager Johnny Hart please guy's go out and win this one for the guy.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Now the OS is saying the game is on BT2 but according to the TV guide that channel is showing the rags and we are on BT3.

Ps. Have just checked the BT website and we are on BT3.

 

[hihosilva]

Ederson
Walker Stones LaPorte Delphino
Fernadinho
Sterling Foden Silva Sane
Aguero

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Ederson

That's exactly the team I'd pick mate.
