Gomez would be happy with that team.
Hes one person who definitely won't be playing

Think we need to throw this game. We are ruining football for the red shits and their mental health is suffering. City should start offering free counselling. The game is up. I expect a defeat here as we are now taking the piss and it’s not fair la. -:)

I think this is correct isn't it,

A one goal defeat in Dortmund followed by matching Dortmunds final round result means we win the group? As long as we dont both win our final group game and they win by 5 more goals than us.

Obviously a win or draw and we win the group.

Thanks in advance.

We'll smash them four or five nil. The game will hold absolutely no fear for us.

It's funny how a 1 goal win is described by the media:

4-3, 3-2 is described as a thriller, 2-1 is classed as superb (see the Toon) but, if it's a Sky Blue shirt, it's a classed a narrow win. Never understood that.

Or 6-3...they won the second half

I think Haaland will have a stormer and Bellingham will score.

Depends on what type of 1 goal win, which is why I just put a draw and we're through.

The decider if it's 1 goal win to Dortmund would be who scored the most away goals between the 2 teams in the 2 games and then if all that's even (2-1 Dortmund win) then it goes off of the usual deciders than we're all familiar with, goal difference in the group etc...

Surprised away goals are still used in group standings, but not in the knockout phase.
