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

[applecentral]

Put Laporte in my starting line ups as I think we will look at a solid no nonsense defence with no nonsense midfield in front

Eddie
Walker
Stone
Dias
Laporte
Rodri/Gundogan
Fernandinho/Gundogan
Bernardo
De Bruyne
Foden
Mahrez

We have to win with this team. 13 players Dortmund don’t stand a chance lol.

To take the edge off and calm some nerves can we not start a rumour about Klopp going to Bayern

If their form this season is anything to go by I hope the arrogant fake toothed **** stays firmly put in dipperville and takes them down even further

The clock is ticking very slowly today ...

dragging like a seal's arse

I don't care if I get slaughtered off 50% on here.
Phil must play before Raz

I agree with you.

Isnt it just. Late lunch for me, let it settle, on the ale 5-8pm and then the match

We need to go in this game to win and not to defend first leg result.I think players will be very motivated tonight and show how good we are.

Going by the farce that the Sterling thread had descended into, not too many will disagree with you.

I often have dreams about City matches before they play. Last night City went 2-0 up inside fifteen minutes, then shut the game down till Haaland scored late on. All quite possible. City's scorers were Yaya Toure and Joe Hayes.

 

[Harvster]

Can you give me 6 numbers for tonight

Hopefully my psychic ability is on a par with that of Clinton Baptiste, and the winning numbers tonight turn out to be 8, 17 & 47

Many putting Zinchenko in their starting line up but Pep doesn't tend to pick him for the really big games. I'll be surprised if it's not Cancello.

In recent weeks Zinchenko has been on the bench a lot more, but generally Pep has loved him for the big games this season, actually. Zinchenko has started against Utd in league and cup, against Chelsea, against Liverpool, against Arsenal in league and cup, against Tottenham, against West Ham, against Everton away in the FA Cup. I don’t know if there’s a particular reason why he hasn’t played as much lately, so don’t know if he’ll start tonight, but it’s not true that Pep doesn’t tend to pick him for big games.
