City Vs Borussia Dortmund (CL) Pre Match Thread

[FantasyIreland]

Team i would pick for tonight if i was Mancini, bearing in mind i haven't seen all your games this year.. You massivley need the three points.


----------------Hart
Zabaleta - Kompany - Lescott - Kolarov
Nasri - Yaya Toure - Barry - Silva
-----------Tevez - Aguero

In a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Probably best we play our 'best' team tonight and save the likes of Kolarov for those muppets on Saturday.

I reckon Mancini will go with 4-3-3:

Hart
Zabba Kompany Lescott/Nasty Clichy/AK
Yaya Garcia Barry
Silva Dzeko Kun

I would play Barry to give us a little more stability in midfield and Dzeko is on great form, Nasri is a possibility as he helps us retain possession but i think we need a little more pace out wide, kun would provide this.
gonna be a tight game, a very hard game infact -they have several quality players like Gotze, Lewandowski, Hummels, Subotic, Reus and Kehl (quality throughout their side tbh). I hope we come through in the end though. We need a good win, I also think we desperately need a first clean sheet.

Welcome to the forum mate.
Quick question, what's the connection with the 'You'll never walk alone' song in the background?

Anyone who thinks a draw will be good enough is high on something because it won't be and we will end up finishing third in the group if we don't win tonight.

agreed 100%

Kolarov can't play, Mancini will surely realise that. You don't play Kolarov against a team that is probably going to set up to hit you on the counter. You play Clichy, a lightning fast left-back who can defend a lot better than Kolarov. Kolarov would be a candidate to play against Ajax but not Dortmund I don't think.

in 2005 we walked through a storm. bvb was near to bankrupty, and it was a very hard time for the club, but we always stood together...

why do you sing blue moon?i guess because of the sky-blue yerseys :-)
in which year did you start to sing the song?

 

[MadchesterCity]

what would the best result be in the other fixture for us, do we write top finnish off and hope madrid win or an ajax win which would open it up again?

We hope Ajax win so Madrid have to go all out against Dortmund and us
