Juventus (A) - Wed 11th Dec, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

We ain’t winning this comp so I’m hoping pep has both eyes on derby. Top 4 & beating the scum are a priority this season now

If we are in the last 32 at the start of February, we have as good a chance as anyone.
We have won Premier league titles recently yet lost to the rags. It feels great every time we beat them but at the moment continuing in the champions league is more important

Given Ake and Akanji are injured that means Walker is playing.

Walker + Gundogan = another loss I'm afraid.

Hopefully Kovacic will start the derby at least.

Top Blue.....

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Top Blue.....

Oh sorry, didn't realise being deluded was part of the requirement.

In that case 15-0 City.

 

[AliBobbyJ]

What matters most:
Are City playing in blue?
And is Grealish playing in the middle?

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Even more ideal we would have no fixtures at all until after;
1. A lengthy winter break.

2. A successful January transfer window.

3. All the injured players return.

Brilliant bring on the big freeze.

Technically, we would have less chance than at least 8 other teams.

The best team doesn't necessarily win in a cup comp.

We're still in it.

I know that but if we get to the last 24 and into the 9 -24 play off I think we have a good chance of going through.
There is always the chance we could end up playing a very strong team as the likes of Madrid and Munich, like ourselves, could end up in the 9-24 play stage.

Brilliant bring on the big freeze.

Not with the price of energy thanks.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

I'm sorry but even with really large blue specs and your glass overflowing you can't come to the conclusion that a run of 9 games with 6 losses, 2 draws and just one win is evidence we can beat anyone!

In only one of them, the Spurs game, were we put to the sword.

 

[Sky Blue]

Maroon.

 

[calumdown]

Except a defeat here and against PSG but home win versus Brugge.

Ideally we wouldn’t have had this fixture before the rags game at weekend

accept*

 

[Mike S]

I'm quietly confident about tonight.

I think the pace of the game (fkn slow) will suit us right now.... [emoji1787]

Juve 1
City more than 1

 

[Gone for a Burton]

In only one of them, the Spurs game, were we put to the sword.

Souldve been 2 up after 8 minutes .

Different game.....2 - 4 !!

 

[TedofChume]

Walk out of the Huntsman, turn right and walk 800-1000m to the buses. They're going from here

 

[OldhamBlue94]

Fuck the negativity, we are still the big boys in this competition we should be going to Turin with a chip on our shoulder as the world champions and give them a good fucking go regardless of the team pep puts out!

 

[BigJoe#1]

3-1 home win.

 

[Gumzy97]

If we are to get anything out of this game we need to stop Yildiz. He's their creator and most dangerous player.

 

[Stelea]

H gets 3 this evening.

Touches?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

There are already seven teams who can only get to 10 points, with another couple likely to join them tonight. If we beat Bruges at home to add to our 8 points and we are through even if we lose to PSG and Juventus.

And if we can't beat Bruges at home at the end of January with players back (hopefully), we won't get through the play-offs anyway .....

I thought Feyenoord was a gimme, particularly on 70 odd mins with a three goal lead.
