It’s gonna be a battle royal, if we don’t take our chances we’re fucked, end of

But what if they don't take their chances either? :)

Problem is they have Haaland.

Problem is they have Haaland.

He's not scored for a few games now, his head's gone ;)

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

I hope that non scoring run continues on Weds

 

[Akpowell]

6 games I think

 

[SWP's back]

We had better win after that shit show of changes today

What score gets us through ?

Any win, draw or loss by 1 whilst scoring more than 1. How long have you been a football fan?

there's no chance this team can win the champions league, wer'e too soft and miss too many chances, we got away with it on tuesday because of a shit referee, we cant cope with a high intensity opponent that press high and attack at pace, if we go behind on wednesday wer'e fucked, when dortmund went forward we were wide open, i fear the worst but even if we get through i dont see us winning it

You're probably right but we'll see a semi final appearance as a step forward. This is going to be a right nail biter of a game, we have to score first, if they do I think we're going out.

 

[bluemoon32]

I think we'll win and win well, 3-0 City

Sadly, I agree. I hope to God that we win it and look back at former winners who
weren’t the best team, but who rode their luck.

IMO we have too many weak players who will go missing when the pressure starts to build.

Fingers crossed.

Well, that's cheered me up.

No back 5 experiment for me. Think it will be a 4 and Laporte will play if fit.

It's not an experiment It's been used loads it's just put down as a back 4 on paper. We have moved a fullback predominately into midfield loads of times, and looked very good doing it

Typical city will be in full flow on Wednesday.

Expect:

Dortmund early goal.
Dodgy Ref decision, var assisted.
1/2 disallowed goals for us.

But:

City draw 1-1 on the night with a late goal from Kev. Why break a habit of a lifetime?

Who said the drugs don’t work...Cant wait ;)

 

[Stoned Rose]

If they score first we will lose. City don't seem to be a mentally strong team. We are alright when we are winning but when the other team score first we can't cope with it. We get rattled and lose the plot. That's why we are rubbish at penalties because we aren't strong enough psychologically.

I love it when Freud posts on the Pre match thread.

[toffee balls]

Biggest game of the season this.

Cannot wait - lockdown has been tiresome and watching City has helped to get me through it.

Come on you Bluuuueeeessssss.

 

[blueabdi]

Ederson
Walker Dias, Laporte, Cancelo
kDB-Rodri-Gundogan
Mahrze-Jesus-Foden

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Since you're all being massive vaginas I'm going for a 2-0 win and yes....I have been drinking.
Up the fucking blues.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Some fannies on here im going 0-2 city

 

[Thaksins Love Child]

1-3 city today is done, move on
