Pre match thread : Borussia Monchengladbach away CL

[stablemcfc]

The fantastic four start together for the first time

Everyone was saying that last time when they were lined up in the starting 11... They've still got to pull their shorts up & take jackets off etc. Plenty of chances to pull a hammy.

Nice to see those 3 impartial pundits Wio, Scholesy and Michael Owen on BT. YCNMIU

City to win 2-1 and shut those fuckers up.

There's far too many ex-Rag/Dipper pundits these days, BT is filled with them too. I bet Owen Hargreaves might commentate, one of ours I guess..

All our eggs in one basket with that team selection.

I would have had Fernando in rather than Yaya. Also Ambrose on the bench, as he is a striker, rather than Barker.

What is the matter with Nasri?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

The big problem is that he is there to be our sub centerback if we need one, which is fucking terrifying. Demi and Otamendi better not get into any trouble

Sagna is an excellent centre back if needed.

Zabba would simply come in to the right-back slot.

Evans will be if shit hits the fan.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Carry on cringing! The round of 16 and we get Barca twice. Fourteen other teams to go at, but we get Barca twice! Cringe is what to do when Barca are pulled out of the pot again!

I hate BT,fucking bias twats

 

[JustAnotherCityFan]

What the bloody fuck

To be fair it's on the channel that they are showing United's game. Coverage of City's game is about to start on BT Sport 2 although I still don't hold out hope for much better pundits.

 

[The Twigg]

Ambrose seems to have just missed out on the bench. His jersey is in the video of the changing rooms on twitter

 

[Blue hatter]

Wonder where sulking samir is not even on the bench.no word here is injured too

 

[solley attwell]

Unbelievable isn't it - City their European game tonight and they can't find one City pundit.

That's because Summerbee, Goater and Rosler are pundits on the rags game....Fair is fair

 

[The Twigg]

True, but Id imagine Zaba would slot in there if it came down to it.

 

[Dogtanian]

Need a win tonight...come on Blues

 

[whp.blue]

sadly
a midfield two never works we will be overun in the middle of the park imho

our only hope is we take any and all early chances we may get
bench is as poor as I have seen in a while

 

[JustAnotherCityFan]

Steve Mcmanoman and Ian Wright ffs.

 

[jimbobblue]

gladbach are cheating!! They are playing Wolfsburgs team against us! Well according to sky sports app team news ha

 

[kaz7]

Mcpointy was scathing last time but very kind on chavs last night,bet he goes back to twat mode tonite

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Whenever we have had a bench bristling with talent, it was either not needed or didn't deliver. P'raps a lacklustre bench might nick it - if we're in a position on 80mins where the game needs nicking!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Mcpointy was scathing last time but very kind on chavs last night,bet he goes back to twat mode tonite

I have a feeling that my world record of 3mins 05 secs for zapping on 'mute' will be broken tonight!

As always much rests on Yaya having a good game and not constantly leaving Fernandinho out to dry. If he can do that two in the middle is fine given the talent up front. If not, it will look shit, again.

Is this the sulking Samir who is beaming with smiles in the training pictures ?

Enough of your unsubstantiated bullshit.
