Leverkusen (H) - Tues 25th Nov, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[Brightwell Bros.]

I understand the anxiety about that line-up, but there's a fair chunk of money that we have spent only in the last twelve months, many with the expectation that they'd be first team players. If they're not good enough to beat a pretty average CL team then we really are in trouble.

Why in shock? FFS

How often does Pep rotate in the CL, never this much.

Might be the new format, maybe you can't go all out in all 8 games.

 

[super_city_si]

wow 8/1 on leverkusen is a steal. Thats a weak team. Fuck all goals

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Thought someone said it was an important game?


Not going by that team.


Fcking Savinho - on what planet does that joker deserve a place?

Probably because it’s a line up you’d only normally see against some shite in a domestic cup. He usually goes very strong until we’re through in the champions league so that many changes is a big surprise

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Still good enough to win if we turn up & turn it on...Come on City!

 

[MCFC1993]

wow 8/1 on leverkusen is a steal. Thats a shite team.

To be fair, I think a lot of that is Leverkusen's team being really poor too.

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

That line up will go either one of two ways but regardless as always Come on City

All punished from Saturday’s outing?

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

If anything that team proves 100% pep reads the match day thread on here, all the players he's dropped took a battering on here on Saturday, reveal yourself guardiola

"Where is Marmoush?"
*Plays Marmoush*
"What the fuck is he playing Marmoush for?"

 

[heslops barnet]

We have Madrid away next. We really don't have the wiggle room to be choosing a team like that.
Could well end up in the play off round again because of the team selection tonight

In Pep we trust…………with fingers crossed

 

[flook]

Well, this is interesting. I imagine we're going to miss all our early chances, concede from their first shot, then get counter-attacked to oblivion.

So as Geddy Lee once said, "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose"

 

[OntarioBlue]

Bit of a random one but has anyone ever managed to get a Uber after the game and where is the best location to get from

There’s always a load of them parked between the Chippy and Mary Ds after the game

 

[waspish]

That many changes for me is because the game Saturday was a very hard game where we got kicked about by Newcastle and it’s just 2 days rest!

 

[Sebi]

Come on City

 

[Ken92]

Would it be surprising if we can´t beat Leeds at home after giving rest for our best players?

 

[Infinite blue]

Great Team?? It isn't is it, it really isn't. The question should be, is that team good enough to beat Leverkusen. The answer to that will be apparent in a few hours

So why did the club feel it appropriate to sign those players ? They are professional footballers not wythenshawe park Sunday morning. All capable to work for the shirt and fans to get a positive result. Support the players who represent your team and get rid of the BBC/social media bias which has apparently inflicted you!!

 

[GaudinoMotors]

This is the most obvious 'warning to the team' team selection I've ever seen. 11 changes.
Pep is super pissed off with that Newcastle performance.
I fucking love it!
He's laid down the law to them.

What? By losing the next game?

 

[OntarioBlue]

I know that’s our “B” team but it looks pretty good to me

 

[wattle]

They are 2nd in bundesliga

In that case that many changes is a bit suicidal
