[Vienna_70]

I expect Stones, Sterling, Foden, Silva, Cancelo and Gündoğan all to start this game.

Ederson

Cancelo
Stones
Dias
Zinchenco

Rodri

de Bruyne
Gündoğan

Silva
Foden
Sterling

Nine of eleven correct.

I’m rather pleased with that.

Tough one to call tonight. Think this Dortmund side struggle when the pressure is on them and glow when it's off. As they are the under dog tonight I wouldn't be surprised if they get a positive result but then fold in the 2nd leg when they have something to hold

if city don't get a good result and a clean sheet tonight the tie will be over
on their patch they are very good in attack and speed and power in haaland

city have to take 2.0 lead as a minimal result and base to work with in the away tie

strong team, would be great if we can have a good buffer going into the second leg.
Just don’t mention the VAR...

Not good to us in European footy either.

I don’t think he is, he factually is. Foden clocks faster speeds than Sterling, second only to Walker at City.

Last year the 10 fastest players in the prem recorded were published. There were 2 city players on the list. Walker was at no. 1 and Foden was at 10. Sterling didn’t make it into the top 10

To be fair those stats mean absolutely fuck all. They used to have Shane Long down as the fastest player in Premier League history. At one point Soyuncu was fastest of the season I believe.

I like the team. Surprised Pep didn’t pick Raz...expect to see him second half.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Gundogan playing as defensive midfielder with Rodri according to UEFA line up graphics.

This is probably the most excited/nervous I’ve felt for a game this season. Really looking forward to it.
