Porto at home in the group stages

It would be some achievement to stop Haaland scoring in both games.

It's gonna probably take that for us to go through.

 

[SS2dan]

A lot of blues on here are doing a Pep and overthinking this match Dortmund are a very good team but seem a little reliant on Haaland. We should let them worry about City retain possession control and we have plenty about us to win

 

[Irishblue93]

Looks to be doing very basic rehab work, no chance he starts Wednesday, I would be suprised if he's even on the bench

Probably mentioned in the thread already but I believe I heard last match that he's scored past every team he's played against in the Champions League.

Crazy if true

As it says it is this morning, he is training alone, and the ball is bouncing off him like a lamp post. No relevance to the game in 3 days' time.

Get through that and we are then onto stopping mbappe or lewi from scoring :/
This chumps league is tough when you don't have uefa in your corner!

Yep, Dortmund has a reputation for placing mischievous tweets.

He's just been in quarantine after doing rehab in Dubai.

so you're saying the draw was fixed ?

 

[i kne albert davy]

his pace is frightening, but their defence can chill knowing his end product is fucking woeful

I was at the Seville away game where he destroyed them with pace and finished product. Arguably his best performance for us, he seems to have trod water or gone backwards since then sadly.

So from Dortmund. Sancho far away from the game. Reus and Hummels can play, Haaland with a new Bundesliga speedrecord, flashed with 36,04 Km during the Stuttgart game, but hey - this is football and not the Olympic 100 m final. Seems to be in his first crisis, due the acitivties of his father and the cosultant. In contrast to City we could not spare our keyplayers on saturday. German Media still talk about a sensation if we go through. My Hope: The skills of a young guy from Birmingham.

Undoubtedly Raheem's best performance for City. I was also there and spent time with some Sevilla fans in a bar afterwards. They were raving about him saying he was the best visiting player they had seen for years. He has been great for the past few seasons but this year he looks burned out. Like Bernardo, Sterling has played a ridiculous number of games for club and country. He looks physically and mentally exhausted. He needs some time out of the team but Pep needs everyone at the moment just to cover the fixtures.

It turns out that *we* couldn't spare our key players on Saturday either - we just thought we could !

It's going to be a nervous night ... the tie is in City's favour currently, but if you open the scoring, then everything changes. City are generally fantastic & take total control of most of their games, but they have a history of things going terribly wrong in vital Champions League knockout games !

 

[Chi-town blues]

would like to see walker ,stones ,dias and laporte ( if fit) as back four

 

[Danamy]

Not sure why but I seem to be more confident when we're playing away at the moment, I'm going to do a Klopp and blame the Etihad pitch

 

[Stevieatlasblue]

Please no sterling or torres.
2 0 win

Why are you even on this thread commenting? You said you don’t care about the champions league

 

[Bluemoonadam]

2 nil city this one.

What a game. Him and Navas tore them to shreds in about 20 minutes
