Borussia Dortmund (A) - CL QF | Pre-Match Thread

[Claytop]

Pep never fucking learns

Bit late for you that, was getting worried!

just do not go behind City, please.

I just dont trust ourselves to go behind and win. of course draw could be enough too, but at this stage of CL in last couple of years we rarely got the result we needed.

Score first and and just control the game (dont leave big spaces behind to run into), best for city and best for the heart rate too.

also no cheaply given away balls in the middle to catch us out with a counter.

Anything else?

Happy with the starting line up.

Going with the same no striker vibe as the first leg with Jesus on the bench if we need to change things up.

It gives us a good reactive option.

If Phil is up for this tonight he'll give them a new bumhole. They had no answer to him at our gaff.

All down to the lads tonight given no brain fart team selections. I am very confident

Looks like a good line up that. I can see us scoring a couple in the first 15 minutes and killing the tie off early doors.

 

[Ribchester]

i’m 100% foden told haaland to come to city after last match

Just watched that again and said I’d love to know what was said

It's bizarre, I don't feel nervous at all. Don't know if it's indifference or confidence!!

I don't feel nervous as much as expectant.

It's time for this side to put up or shut up really. The fans have always been good to them over European success/lack of it. Pep has always taken the blame for them. The club hierarchy has been patient.

Time to stop talking about wanting to win the competition and just go do it, against a much weaker side, struggling massively domestically, gave us loads of chances to kill the game last week.

There's no more excuses, they just have to do it.

The Boys in Blue never give in. They fight to the end. Come on City. Come on City.

I have huge reservations about that midfield of gundogan and rodri. Bellingham destroyed them the last day. Fernandinho instead of Gundogan might have been prudent

That was one change I wouldnt have been surprised at, to mirror the Leicester game who play a similar counter style.

 

[Metalartin]

Hang on, let me read the team sheet to see who's not there, before I say who Pep should have started and then say "FFS Pep!" Loudly and fold my arms.

Come on City, come on Mahrez! Worldie opening goal, in the opening 10 mins to put us ahead, will do nicely.

Its actually disgusting. bottles and Stones lobbed at where Zidane is sitting through his window

Thought Stones was in Dortmund.
