FC Copenhagen - Wed 6th Mar, 20:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

These are getting an absolute bumming.

Gosh, the pre-match hospitality has certainly moved on...

 

[mosssideblue]

In the end, tomorrow we only have to score more than them.

Or draw, or lose by no more than one goal

It's called the Tunnel Club for a reason! :)

Get the tie won in the 1st half & then make changes for Sunday.

Stones should have the night off & hopefully Rodri, Kev, Berny & Phil don't play more than 60 minutes

 

[foggy1974]

I'd like to see Stones and KDB completely rested tomorrow. Copenhagen are a Championship standard side whom the rest should be able to crush comfortably, then get 5 other of the big boys off asap.
I'd play Haaland for at least an hour - assuming he's fit - as he still needs minutes.

If Copenhagen are a championship side what are the rags?

 

[Withnail]

Pep will play a strong team, can see Kdb and Stones being rested with Sunday in mind. Another goal will virtually kill the tie and then make changes in the second half.

 

[Lavinda Past]

City will be three up by half time and the second half will be a training exercise with 95% possession.

 

[richards30]

People are mad if they think we will see a load of changes as Pep values this competition as much as the league! A couple of changes maybe to begin with and then maybe 3-4 more if things are going well after 60 minutes but it will be a shambles if he goes too weak and we get binned out.

 

[Longballutd]

I fully expect Pep to put out a very strong line up.
We don’t face the dippers until Sunday and they play in Prague Thursday.

 

[jollylescott]

Beware of a first leg 3-1 lead.

Can I remind you that when FA Cup ties were of 2 legs, in 1945-46, City were up against Bradford Park Avenue in Round 4 and won the first leg 3-1, away.

It looked pretty safe for a passage through to Rouind 5, but the score in the second leg was Ciry 2, Bradford PA 8.

Yes, 2-8, at Maine Road. Can you imagine the media meltdown if it's City 2 Copenhagen 8?

Don't say I didn't warn you........

Are you by any chance related to @malg or @lionheart ?

 

[solley attwell]

Anyone expecting wholesale changes tonight will be disappointed. Pep does not only want to qualify but wants to keep our unbeaten run going. Momentum is key making the players feel they are on a roll is important too

Didn't find Doku in the pre-match training.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Quarter finalists could be City Bayern PSG arsenal Madrid Athletico Dortmund Barcelona. Some tasty fixtures coming out of that

None of those teams will want to play us.
They will all be more worried about little old city than we are of them

I wasn’t saying otherwise, I was just commenting that there are POTENTIALLY some tasty teams left, none better than City (it’s not city)

Thursday night scum if they're lucky; )

 

[eversince 76]

Strong team to start as usual in the CL. Playing twice a week is doable and if it’s on a regular basis the body will get used to the rythm. Plus the fact that the coaching team has enough equipment to see if the body is tired.

I hope Pep and the players won’t underestimate the opponent the way some on here do.

We’re only on a 4 game run. Now, if we’re talking ‘unbeaten’ ;-)

Ps. Nice to see Midgetland beat them last time out.
