Club Brugge (H) - Wed 29th Jan, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

Does carry a risk for them though.

The main game they're interested in will be Stuttgart-PSG, if that's a draw, their odds of going out greatly increase.

I don't mean that they would deliberately try to lose. Just that they could end up avoiding one of the better teams in the play off.

Stuttgart and PSG both go through if it's a draw.

I'd be amazed if the game doesn't finish as a draw.

 

[CTID1988]

Do any other teams results come into play to have us qualify with a draw? Or is it simply a must win?

Edit: just read through and got my answer

Yeah it's the same for us too but we have to win to go through now.

As it stands 21st/22nd looks great.
Feyenoord or Lille in the playoffs.
Atletico or Milan in the Last 16.
This will change of course but I think 21st to 24th will have the a couple of decent ties available.

I'm confident we'll get the job done on Wednesday and let's attack from the off and kill the game off at half time. Ederson, Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Grealish, Savinho, Foden, De Bruyne, Haaland

3-1 City

Bernardo in midfield for me. Back to his very best yesterday

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I wonder how up for this Brugge will be
They are more or less through to the play off and looking at the the at the able at moment the lower you are the better chance you have of going through.

It’s quality potential pissboiling material if they do put out their reserves.

We are out unless we win

Extended too much energy. He and Gundo on the bench for me. Start Jack next to Kova

Has someone hacked Fordy’s account?

 

[chris85mcfc]

Think we'll slap them 3 or 4

Saturday to Wednesday is 4 days. He went Wednesday to Saturday which is 3 days, included overseas travel and a wet pitch, yet he was fine after 3 days. He will be fine after 4

 

[Stoned Rose]

Not arsed as we aren’t winning the competition so would rather go out and concentrate on top 4.

 

[King Jay]

There will be some Bluemoons who will say that Nunes is fault for everything that happens. Some going to be very sad when they realize that Nunes won’t leave and there has never been a club with 22 world class players

 

[Marvin.]

Should we assume that John Stones is over his foot injury? He played well as a sub vs Chelsea.

Boys & Girls are we really discussing permutations for brugge, if we can't beat these comfortably then do we really want to go through to the next faze or deserve to.

 

[balotellishaircut]

Haven’t read all the thread, if we win this game do we go through to the next stage ?

I’m sure Aston Villa fans thought the same.
