Dinamo Zagreb (H) pre-match thread

[kaz7]

Pep was right about Yaya and Bernardo / Mendy so he has to be right about this too.

What has those 2 things got to do with each other lol

They have more history than us and n the champions league for sure, we know that he doesn't need to state it and that isn't the reason many hate it.

We embraced the cup winners cup and won it and when we got into the champions league everyone was excited for it. Countless crap we have had to put up with since is why many of us have washed their hands of it. I tried to re engage but getting screwed over by var against Spur's last season was the last straw for me.

Drawing poor opposition in the group stages isn't going to get fan's to part with hard earned cash. Even if it's a fiver a game you still have to add on travel costs and for some time off work. If we draw a big team in the knockout stages and the tie is in the balance we will sell out. Then there is the final. Real fans are given so few tickets for it many who have supported the club all the way will still miss out.

Pep needs to stop rehashing this shit now it is getting boring. We have had full houses in our quarter final ties at home and given the team terrific vocal backing so he is talking nonsense.

Many think we subsequently got screwed over against Spur's in the league this season but we are still trying to recover the two points we lost. We haven't washed our hands of it.

KDB not training with the rest of the squad. I'm praying this is not bad news...

He was struggling before he got subbed on Saturday. No point in risking him if he's feeling something, Keep him out of Sunday and he might get the international break off and what a result that would be!

I think the away fans do a brilliant job for the group games,so many mind numbing teams and places visited many times,he really can't complain..but he still does

Anyway i hope kev is ok,he did seem to have an injury when he went off at the weekend

So what? That isn't a great analogy is it? You said it all, we are still trying to recover the two points and have plenty of games to do so. That game we were out, end off. Also many people are season ticket holders so will be there the next game whatever the result of the last one. The champions league is an extra expense, played at night and we keep on getting stiffed in it. From crap decisions, to fines for nothing, to other fans smashing up our team bus with no consequences. All been done to death here and for many we think fuck it.

They do and if I was thirty years younger I would be with them. Many go in a group of mates so it is a jolly boys outing, a mini holiday with the football thrown in. Maybe Pep should explain why the team didn't go over to the fan's in the last round.

That's fine but it affects the status of the club, the money we make, who we can buy, who wants to manage us in the future, etc.

It doesn't. Fan's will still go, tourist fan's will take my place and others and if we draw a top team we will definitely sell out. If you are making the point that the champions league is important for the reasons you stated I agree. So long as we qualify for it we will attract the fan's, our attendance's the last few years have been pretty good.

As a matchday ticket buyer I've always gone to league games this time of year and gone to a last 16 or QF in the spring. The league tickets are so hard to get 2 or 3 together now, well be going to the Atalanta game instead and maybe the Shaktar, maybe there will be more that can't get to a league game and that will benefit the champions league games.
