Borussia Dortmund (A) - Tue 25th Oct, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[remember arthur mann]

That's a significant amount of injuries and to some key players, moist their defense?
Hummels, Meunier, Schlotterbeck , Guerreiro, Reus, Dahoud? and Haller; 6 from their best 11?

Knowing Pep, he'll put 6 of our kids on.

 

[Mataniels]

Team Prediction:

Ederson
Akanji--Stones--Ake--Cancelo
Rodri
Bernardo De Bruyne
Foden Haaland Grealish

______________________Ortega________________

Lewis__________Akanji_________Stones______Ake

__________________Gundogan___________

__________Mahrez_______Grealish______

Palmer___________Alvarez____________Foden

it will be a change up from the weekend and Ortega will defo play tonight but Mahrez am not 100 % will start

I think there’s more chance of Haley’s Comet landing on the Loch Ness Monster than for that to be our team tonight.

STOP PRESS
Loch Ness has disappeared. Police are appealing for witnesses. A statement from the constabulary put the disappearance down to theft or a very thirsty monster.

What won’t have happened is that it’s been hit by a comet. If it had, the population of the earth would be mostly dead!

 

[Mataniels]

Maybe its just me but I feel like we are better off playing every 3 days and making very few changes. When we rest a load or have a weak off we tend to lose a bit of rythmn

 

[pride in battle]

Manchester City have won their group but Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham still have work to do.
According to the BBC we've already won our group ?

They’ve already been told that we win 3-0 tonight.

They probably meant qualified. Have the others qualified yet?

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Doesnt really matter if we win the group ,we could draw a big-hitter in the next round if we finish first or second ,the main thing is we have qualified so would consider resting the likes of Haaland , KDB , Gundo , Rodri , Bernardo for this one.We have plenty of players needing game time and youngsters needing exeperience the important games are the next three league matches and taking maximum points before he world cup.

For me, pep bluffed in the pre-match interview and will play a weaken line up ? Well I say weaken 11 but It's still better than most Premier League clubs 11

we are in the knockouts JOB done play players that need game time and rest Haaland Ederson Cancelo Rodri Dias Silva, never Gamble when you're ahead because it's pointless taking chances with picking up injuries

I think the main advantage is that you play the second leg at home if you win your group

No chance. Pep always goes strong until we’ve won the group.

Even then you’ll never see Mahrez as an 8, ever.

 

[kinky's boots]

I want to see Foden in the midfield and see him and Jude go at it. Won't happen though :/

Bit kinky but whatever floats your boat

 

[Fordyboy46]

Bit kinky but whatever floats your boat

Lol

 

[super_city_si]

I think Gundo is certain to start tonight.

 

[Gray]

I suspect Edison will not start was holding his hip on Saturday.

 

[kippaxchris]

Loving all this football.

A draw sees us win the group and guarantees dortmund qualify for the next round so I am pretty sure it will be a draw
