City vs. Borussia Mönchengladbach pre-match thread

[blinkblue]

We can rotate against Bournemouth and Swansea, we need our strongest 11 here.

I would still rather concentrate on the PL, particularly trying to avoid that qualifying round we had to play this season. You obviously think differently; so be it.

That's fair enough.

All I'm trying to say is that this is the biggest game we've had in terms of cash. Win this and it sets the group up for an easier ride. We have been dealt a decent hand with the Bournemouth fixture so we should use it to our advantage.

Don't suggest that you'll get slated like me

Important to get off to a good start in the group so three points is near enough a must takes pressure off,don't want a scenario wher we go into last group game looking to qualify..

Agreed. We really need to be looking at 10 points, minimum, from the Borussia and Celtic games. That match in Glasgow will not be easy; it'll be a bear pit (inopportune analogy in the circumstances, but you get what I mean).

 

[SWP's back]

We earned just under £97m from the PL last season (presumably prize money and TV money), which dwarves your £50m figure from the CL. And this season the figure will be even higher due to the new TV deal kicking in now. Even Villa earned comfortably more last season than that CL money you mentioned.

You've not thought this through.

Full strength, a winning start is a must.

Not really, no. The result of being up since 4 this morning.

If we play the way we've played this season we would be out of sight by 60mins and then changes could be made.

Best team needs to play
