Atalanta (H) - CL - Pre-Match Thread

[MAG]

After today’s team selection this one might be easier to predict ... ;)

I expect Otamendi, Stones, Aguero, Zinchenko, Walker (if fit, what’s going on with him btw?) and a Mahrez all to start ...

Win it here and close the CL group early ... winning this game would be important in terms of then being able to rest a few against the same lot away as that’d be a few days before the Anfield away trip ...

C’mon City ... keep it going at all fronts!

Atalanta cruising today at 3-0 blew it and ended up drawing 3-3 which can’t help confidence. Get on top early, score a couple and then finish off quickly in second half.

Strongest team, let’s get the group stage out of the way as quickly as we can.

Surely time for Foden

Pep said in his post match conference that we would be changing things to combat Atlanta’s style.

Is this a cut and paste :)

Atalanta are dire, should be easy win.

Would love to see Phil.

Virtually impossible to pick the side that Pep will select but over the next week and with the Southampton cup game hopefully the young lads will get their opportunity

Foden will get his 2 minutes to develop

On the contrary they are the opposite. Very good in the league (arguably unlucky today) with some confidence and newcomer issues in the CL.
