Borussia Dortmund Vs City (CL) Pre Match Thread

[Marvin]

Dortmund line up is the big surprise for me.

They are missing 5-6 key players or probably just resting them.

We miss Silva/Yaya but apart from that pretty strong line up.

It is pretty much Dortmund B side we easily should be a match for them or beat them.

Nasri needs to take a leading role finally and show his true skills tonight.

Haven't they won the group already? Real Madrid can't catch them because their head to head record is not as good

Looks like 3 at the back for City? Or maybe Lescott at left back. Hope we play 5 in the middle as last time we were over powered in midfield

Re: Tonight v Dortmund

It doesn't take a genius to work out who's travelled.

Like I said to you before, one of Kompany or Nasty will have to play tonight as well as Sunday, so it looks like you're going to be annoyed but from what I can gather from reading your posts, that will suit you as you seem to like having something to be annoyed about.

Something gives me the impression someone's looking to start a fight here.

Anyone out there know who's travelled?

Starting 11 from mcfc.co.uk:

Hart, Maicon, Nasty, Kompany, Lescott, Nasri, Sinclair, Garcia, Barry, Dzeko, Tevez

Yaaaaaaaay Sinclair!

 

[shevtheblue]

Garcia and Barry, quite possibly the slowest centre of midfield ever?

Fast compared to Reid and McMahon....

If you had a few days to waste we could time them over the 100m and find out.

Nasri at wingback??

Or not risking Zabaleta and Kolarov just in case Clichy cannot get fit in time.

Sinclair at wingback ?

Nasri and Sinclair are both right footed are they not?

Can't see Lescott at LB though

Think nasty might be left back.

Looks like a basic 4-4-2 to me, unless of course Sinclair is playing at LWB.

The pace in that line-up is frightening, I might have to watch the game using slow-pause.

 

[brian the blue]

Barry and Garcia will have rings ran round them by Gundogan and Leitner.

I said it could be 3 or 4 - 0 to BVB earlier in the thread, looking at the teams I still see us losing but it might be a closer game.

The good thing about that team is that it suggests we're going Balotelli and Aguero against United.

Looks like it....just a question of Nasty or Lescott at left back.

thats a 3-4-1-2

 

[No17]

Wouldn't suprise me to Lescott at left back, he had a run there a couple of seasons ago when Kolarov and Zab were missing as I seem to recall....

he played at left back many times when he was at Everton

 

[citizen tony]

could be a back three plus wing backs ?
