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

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Right, nice strong line up there with plenty of attacking intent. Thing is, it's a 2 legged tie so even if we are held tonight we can go over there and win.

 

[Damanino]

Would have preferred Sterling instead of Mahrez, I think Dortmund has the likelyhood in their play to move their defence up and leave bit of space to attack and punish, at least in Bundesliga , and for that I prefer sheer pace from Sterling than Mahrez.

But if its still 0-0, 1-1 at around 60 minute we can bring in some big game changers from bench, not like Pep would change until 80th minute anyway.

Must win game at home, we need some type on advantage here for next week's away tie. clean sheet would be a great bonus considering we lost due to less away goals vs Monaco and Spurs too. (both ties we missed a pen, that hopefully will not be repeated in such an important CL tie.)

 

[Don Karleone]

A good line-up so it's up to the players now.

Lets not balls this up please City

 

[Chi-town blues]

Foden is playing in his position.

ok

We were crying out for Bernie and Phil last month when Pep left them out, especially for the derby. Hoping for lots of energy (and quality) tonight.

Is it just this house that still boo’s the champions league jingle on the TV ? (Can’t bring myself to call it an anthem)

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Well, there's no overthinking there. That's, almost to a person, the best team playing in their best positions. Entirely up to the players.

I was grand all day. Now I feel like my stomach is coming out my arse...

Fucking Footy!

You sure that wasn’t the curry you had last night ;-)

 

[B\connellblue]

We should have too much for these. They've been poor enough this Season.

 

[NI Blue]

Sad Zinch is not playing. In my opinion he makes whole team a lot more fluid

 

[Toney’s bookie]

Lots of energy in that team. As many others said, Jesus or Sterling for Mahrez could have been a vianle option and added more energy but no complaints from me.

 

[SWPISHOME]

It's either the curry or horse meat that was in it ;-)

 

[mccity]

I'm feeling strangely calm about all of this.

We should probably win but nothing is a given ..

Wouldn’t be City if we couldn’t drag it out over two legs ..
