Borussia Dortmund Vs City (CL) Pre Match Thread

[LoveCity]

Just can't help themselves... if you think Arsenal are arrogant, the Germans take it to another level. Every time Bayern or BVB play us, one of their head honchos spews this sort of thing...

It makes me laugh the way they link oilgarch owners to expensive tickets when ours remain among the best value in the league, and you have clubs like Arsenal and Spurs taking the piss with non-oilgarch owners.

Give George Evans a run out and if John Guidetti is near fit get him some game time.

Yea but dude. You still can't deny the massive support Bunesliga teams get from their fans. The fans there are really supportive. I'm not saying we aren't "tea" fans, but i think that the "50+1" rule in german football is a good thing.

the way i feel about city is the same as the way these german fans feel about their club. but It would be cool if we could literally "own" part of city

I´m looking forward to seeing a few kids get a chance, if we draw and Ajax lose to Madrid will we finish third?

We have to win to finish 3rd/get in Europa because of our inferior head-to-head record against Ajax.

Do you know when Clichy is back?

Platt said today we "don't have much choice" due to injuries and will probably go full strength against Dortmund. Hopefully Dortmund rest some players and we smash their 11 game unbeaten run.

its the fullbacks that worry me, can't have zab or maicon getting injured. that would be an absolute disaster

Was thinking the same thing asked Love City if Clichy is still injured no respone, Nasty might play LB, in worse case scenario Meppen-Walter will there. Don´t like the idea of Maicon and Zabba playing against Dortmund, especially Zabba who imo should be rested for the derby, along side Silva.

Best possible team,we need 3rd place.

Besides,given the investment,there's no excuse,our squad should be able to perform in multiple competitions.

Do you know ....

i'm not arsed in the least about this game anymore ...

To me it's just getting in the way of the derby !

Ajax will probably win in Madrid anyway, Madrid are though and and can't get that top spot due to their head to head with Dormund, they will field a massively weakened team in my opinion.
