RB Leipzig (H) - Tue 14th March, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

I sort of think he is too. But lets see what role he has.

For the future Champions League games and he may still even play a part in the title race

How DARE you say a kid with 2 champions league starts is inexperienced!

In tough games? Pep has got this call correct on this occasion

Surprised Foden isnt starting he has been on fire , he lost the ball a few times against Palace which we know is a cardinal sin for Pep , butthe has been terrorising opponents in the last month , Mahrez also has a knack of scoring big goals in the Champs league , but they can't all play.
Hopefully we are not stitched up by the officials , VAR / UEFA , we really have had enough of being robbed in this competition.

I think Foden may be carrying a few knocks from the Palace game (he got kicked silly). No point in starting him sore when we’ve got other great options but I’m hoping we see him on from 60 minutes so that he can build on the good run he’s having.

 

[RayCTID]

yeah and you would have said that when we played Chelsea - twice, Spurs - twice, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Promising start but still way off

 

[GaudinoMotors]

You forgot

"In pep we trust"
"We lost coz of var"
"We lost coz of the ref"
"The prem is harder to win"
"I remember when we were shit"
"SuPpoRt The TeAm foR fuCks saKe"

It's like we have these exchanges year in year out and no one realises the repetitiveness of them.

Will it be a clapper or a flapper night?
Will the moaners triumph or will the window lickers sleep soundly in their city duvets?
Will pep have cracked it or cracked up again in Europe.

Champions league nights are never dull(possession football apart obviously;-)) for us City fans.

Enjoy the game blues.

Hopefully both sides of the coin want a win - just different ways of dealing with it. A shame some see it as an opportunity to be the "bigger blue" - as if any anonymous post on a forum counts for anything really.

One day i will get excited about the CL but not today.
Hope we still win obviously

 

[Alexia_Ko]

I won't have problems with Pep if he makes subs if the tactics don't work

 

[lonestay]

Oh shut up Jake the snake !

 

[argyle]

Good to see Onuoha being given a prominant pundit spot.

 

[jimharri]

Those half and half scarves. Jeesus.

 

[Blueknows]

Oh shut up Jake the snake !

Best thing for your BP is to switch on 1.min to ko

Peps obviously picking and choosing when to use him in games he thinks he suit him.

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

Pity the BT match commentary team aren’t out in support of Linekar. They do me fekin crust in.

If it was 10 mins to kick off in the PL - I'd be like a shitting whippet. But the CL? A bit anxious but nowhere near in comparison.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Half and half scarves piss me off.

 

[adr2.8i]

Slightly surprised by the line up but I'm not too worried... and I'm unable to watch tonight due to bloody family commitments, which usually means a City win
3-1 to the blues.

 

[normskih]

Good to see Ned and Joleon on pundit duty tonight. Pity about Ferdinand. But, to quote Marvin Lee Aday, two out of three ain't bad.

Oh Jim, you took the words right out of my mouth;)

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Think there are still issues with Fodens foot they are trying to manage myself.

You might have something there , but strange Pep played Foden against Palace and didnt save him for tonight ,when he rested KDB on Saturday for tonights game , we trust in Pep :)

 

[TinFoilHat]

2 City pundits means BT know we've lost.

:)

 

[zimmerman]

You think we're going to lose then? Or is this what you will quote on the matchday thread if you're correct.... Cmon, nail your colours to the mast, you money where your mouth is, stand by your man, walk the walk. Are we goin g to lose because Pep hsnt done what you've suggested?

One thing Pep should never do is take suggestions from me!

Look, I don’t really like that team - would have liked one from Mahrez and Foden and Walker for Akanji. Obviously hope Pep makes me look an idiot after the game .

Think we’ll do it but could be a long nervy night

He was hugely complimentary about Rodri.
