Dortmund (H) - CL QF | Pre-Match Thread

[SWPISHOME]

Sterling has to play imo. Sort of player that can give them nightmares.

Especially if Emre Can is playing right back which he has been doing in a few games of late.

Sterling will give him a torrid time. For all Sterling's faults, he never stops trying and constantly asks questions of the defending fullback.

My worry is if we go behind.

We do have a mental block for coming back and winning games after we are 1-0 down. Fucking shit United winning games for fun from being 1-0 down, they already did 10+ times imo this season while when we are behind we most often never win.

why have you brought them into it ?

See i'm just not convinced of this, im a big sterling fan but I do feel he can let the full back off sometimes by being slightly negative and passing backwards rather than being aggressive in 1v1s

9 times out of 10 I have Sterling down as starting, As you said he is a constant threat and the full back knows he is going to be in a game. Two things that terrify full backs are wide men with pace and wide men that make runs from out to in and Sterling does both.

This is shaping up to be our best squad and team we've had since the takeover. We have top quality all over the pitch regardless who is playing. We've put together one of the most impressive runs in the history of the game and are playing magnificent football whilst cutting out the daft errors that have cost us in the past. There is only one winner here tonight.

City 0 - 1 Dortmund.

Fucking hate this competition! Haha!

He should play but i think pep might go with Foden-Jesus-Mahrez.

 

[doobyedoobye]

Was there a legal requirement to publish the report now?

 

[jaiguruKun]

Wish the game had kicked off earlier, my nerves can't take it!

 

[gingerprince]

I'm absolutely confident in the Dortmund manager completely overthinking his team selection...

City 9 : 1 Dortmund

 

[Bozo]

Saw the Dortmund team dining at the Lowry earlier. Fingers crossed they were eating dodgy muscles.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

I am easy ab out this tie. If we lose tonight itll mean we're up for the retun leg. If we win then we're still not out of the woods.
of course though I would like a win tonight but Im not stressed

yet

Anyone else getting Monaco vibes about tonight?

Mahrez didn't impress at Leicester, I'd go Sterling-Jesus-Foden.

Cracking game that was, but I’m hoping for a very professional performance tonight. Just play the same way we’ve been doing in the league for months, it’s all I ask for.
