Dynamo Kyiv Pre Match Thread

Rarely confident before a game anymore. Don't know enough about Kiev to know what to expect. Aren't they coming off their winter break? I would hope we draw at the least.
 
Quite sure the decision to play a weakened team in the FA Cup was out of Pellers hands , but if we fail to get a reasonable result in Kiev , he will carry the can . A draw would be a decent result , need a strong back 4 and 2 defensive midfielders , and then hopefully we can sneak a win at home in the 2nd leg , and then get some players fit for the quarter finals.

He has already carried the can though effectively. It concerns me that since the announcement we have lost 3 and were fortunate not to get beat in the other one too.

Hart
Sagna Kompany Otamendi Clichy
Fernando
Silva Toure Dinho Sterling
Aguero

This will be the side for me.

Willy will play more than likely ffs

Surely he won't be that stupid.
 
Will be very hard game, I think we will struggle to control this game, not enough mobility or work rate in midfield.
We shouldn't struggle to control this game at all,this will be a team that hasn't played a competitive game since early December and surely won't be up to speed.
We probably couldn't have picked a better last 16 game and should really look to have the tie all but over after the first game even allowing for our poor current form.
A good result would also give us a bit of breathing space for the 2nd leg and to concentrate on getting our league bid back up and running.

Manuel does the keepers 2 match rule so probably play wednesday and hart in the final and Liverpool away
 
Anyone tne availability of navas? If he's fit I'd go

hart

sagna
vinny
otamendi
clichy

fernando
dinihio
yaya

navas
kun
sterling

Mate.....do you actually follow our team? Navas is injured and anyone with half a brain cell that follows City knows this! Get back to your X box
 
Question is, will our players be intimidated by the hostile atmosphere in Kiev?

Recent showings would suggest yes. I foresee a 2 nil defeat and then we will be 1 down in the home leg before we start playing, win 3-1 and go out on away goals....

I would love to be proved wrong....

Atmospheres in Roma and maybe just Sevilla were more intimidating, Roma definitely. They will spend most of the match abusing Yaya, Fernandinho, iheanacho...

Pretty unnecessary that.

Pellegrini didn't mention Navas when listing injured players in his press conference on Friday. Could've been a simple mistake on his behalf, but no one really knows. Pretty sure @Bluwhit said at the time that Navas himself said he thought it'd only be two weeks.

If you listen closely he actually did Ric.

Once he does he should do a Ronaldo and politely leave because the rest is non answers to non questions.

Its much the same in the AFL here , the questions embarrass the profession to be fair or only serve to reinforce how poorly prepared and unimaginative the press are.
 
When does the team travel to Kiev ?

Wouldn't it make sense for the players not involved in today's squad to have gone there ahead of the ones who were involved today ?

I think the players not involved today (Sagna, Otamendi, Toure, Silva and Aguero) are scheduled to train tomorrow morning. Presume we'll travel as a squad either tomorrow evening or Tuesday morning.
