City Vs Borussia Dortmund (CL) Pre Match Thread

Big game will need a big performance from the team

Can we do it?

All in here please (including team predictions etc)

They beat Gladbach 5-0 today, talk about hitting perfect form right before the game. Reus apparently had a world class performance. Will be a very tough game for us and we have to use the home advantage as much as possible, Arsenal did alright against Dortmund last season if I remember correctly.

What a fantastic player Reus is. That 3rd goal was a beauty.

Didn't Gladbach get well beat by Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League play offs?

Dortmund are a great side but if we play to the ability that we are capable of I think we will outclass them, especially at home.

They had a better side lasy year yet struggled over two legs against Arsenal, who at the time were struggling in the league.

I'm not sure about that, reckon Reus could be even better than Kagawa and they lost no one else important (Barrios was a fringe player). Beating Gladbach 5-0 was perfect momentum for them, I think we can beat them but hopefully the technical team scouts them well (especially Gotze, Reus, and Lewandowski!).

Hope Mancini keeps the same system that we played today.

Feel Dzeko deserves a start, but would be tempted to play Barry and just aguero up front. But Think Nasri helps us keep possession
