FC Copenhagen (A) - Tue 13th Feb, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[eversince 76]

I know Pep will not have them overlooking Copenhagen. This tie could be trickier than most think. To get out of a group of Bayern, Galatasaray, and the rags is quite the feat for them.

From a quick look, they even managed to accumulate more xG than Bayern in both matches. It was the same for the game versus the rags that they lost.

I'd love to see something like this:

Ederson
Walker Dias Akanji Ake
Rodri Bernardo
Bobb Foden Grealish
Haaland​

Exactly. It would be very unwise to underestimate these. History shows Danish teams and their national team perform great when being the underdogs.
No doubt Pep won’t let that happen.

There will be no underestimating and they'll still get beat 3 or 4 nil without us getting out of 2nd gear.

Disclaimer: As long as Phil plays central instead of Alvarez.

Memory is fucked in us FOC category , lol

Their young midfielder Roony Bardghji is getting a lot of press attention. One to keep an eye on (if you can ignore his shit first name).

Bardghji vs Akanji ?

 

[Scooby Blue]

I think most of us have sat through worse, far more often and for far less money.

I don’t think I’d be that upset sitting up there.

Cu on the other side

COME ON BLUEBOYS

Yes. Randomly planned ( not) by the PL scheduler knowing pretty much that week we would be in last 16 of Champs League. And then to play our biggest rivals Dipperpool away immediately after. Sucks.

Have Arse got an easier tie v Porto tmw?

Played them 4 times, won 2 and drawn twice at their place. C'mon City, keep the form going, 6 games and scored 3 in each of them. 3-1 maybe?

Such bloody arrogance. I will be happy with a 2-2 at their place.

Too many fanny wipes here today. We're the world champions. They might have the odd threat, but, we're in good form; it's our ball, and we'll be keeping it for the most part! Though we struggle to keep clean sheets, I expect a comfortable win, as 'last 16' is their level.
Imho, it'll be like mid-table against the top of the league, so, I'm going 3-1 for City.

How would they know which dates we were going to get given? Those weren't decided until the draw months not far off half a year after the league fixtures were.

 

[jimharri]

Approach this game with the right attitude (respect the opposition, but don't fear them), and we should be okay.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

How it should be every week.

Really! If it ends up 2 -2 it will be a poor night.
Fully expect a comfortable win.
