Club Brugge (H) - CL - Wed 3 Nov 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Pep showing his love for United early on already. Hardly surprising. He could not give a toss about the derby, in his elitist opinion is not right that club like City can beat club full of history in United.

Chasing the eternal dream with no striker seems absolutely pointless.

EDIT- there is also no way he would come up with those words if he was Barca manager with Real game coming up.

Comments like this make me nervous that he could play a stronger team tomorrow night than on Saturday. Hopefully he's just saying it out of respect for Brugge.

Keep your mouth shut pg !

Seven of the last 17 games we have failed to score in.

That seems to bear out your middle paragraph.

Where Sergio's replacement is, I have no clue. The recruitment team must unearth one - no good keep saying "we don't need a striker". Or at east someone who can propel the ball into the net.

Jesus Christ...

That Ferland Mendy sounds like a superb player
A combination off Fernandinho, Haaland and Mendy.

We hope that everytime he says it but we now know thats how he thinks

Team news: Pep Guardiola has confirmed 'everybody is good' for #ManCity vs Club Brugge.

I think what he meant was it's a much more important game at this moment in time, than the derby is

That's a ridiculous statement.

Apart from Torres, presumably.

Yes, he doesnt include the longer term ones

Bruges is the more important game. If we lose we could potentially not qualify with PSG to play again. If we lose to United it is a setback from which we can recover.

Hahahaha not for me Ric,well done pep treat them as it should be they are of no significance to us,(bar two league games a season)we are battling for trophies they are battling just to keep tabs on European spots

 

[Ben Wright]

Are Brugge bringing fans over? Does anyone know?

Anyone had problems downloading their ticket to google pay? Mine's not working

His atitude towards the derby needs to change. It's a huge game for us fans and his record against OGS is crap.

Except that Manchester's blue residents would have to endure another six months of pain.

They're bringing 1700 over and will be spread over the three tiers. It is also being considered a 'high risk' game due to the events that happened over there a couple weeks back.

 

[eastmanc]

That's the lineup I'd go with but you have to imagine Pep is going to play Sterling.

Why.

 

[eastmanc]

No he won't priotitise it over the league, but he'll prioritise the next game and won't think about the weekend until Thursday.

You need good league form to do well in the Champions league, you can’t turn form on and off like a tap, it doesn’t work like that.

Thats why he looks at one game at a time and build a run. Anyone that thinks he priorises the c/l over the league has either never listened to him, or doesn’t believe him every time he says the league comes first. Can’t do much about that except point to his record.
