The three regulars left out could do with a rest - especially Raheem.
 
No way I will risk Rodri in game like this , DZ is easier opponent than Preston the other night.
 
When the draw was made, I thought good draw and Shakhtar would be the team to beat, but their 4-0 thrashing of Atalanta makes me nervous.

Atalanta don't appear to be mugs. They are 3rd in Serie A

 
We should seriously win the game because we are regularly winning much harder ones, but they are not as bad as the name and their CL history would suggest. Good team with good manager. You don't beat Atalanta 4:0 unless you're good, Atalanta is pretty good team. Several very talented players there, with Olmo, one of the most talented young players in the Europe, leading. Very good young goalkeeper too, Rags were sniffing around when it wasn't sure De Gea will sign.
 
Zagreb 92 points from 36 games to win their national championship last season. That is our standard of winning points. Won I think it was by 28 points over 2nd place.

Can’t afford to take this game lightly unless you are a fan, but I don’t think Pep will, he will know Zagreb are no mugs.

I watched Atalanta win 4-1 away from home last night, they hunt in packs, assuming they played at their normal level in the first CL game is be concerned about this game.

Zagreb's manager got them off the guard playing 3-5-2 for first time ever, to nullify their tactics. The fact they executed it so good after only training it for few days is good enough sign of a very good team.
 
Anyone know how many they are bringing over? I suspect they would be v noisy if there is a big following
 
i honestly dont think any of the teams in our group are that good compared to us. se we can make a few changes for this one.
 
they've got a vocal ultras support. It's only the matter of how much it would cost to reach Manchester. They'll bring few hundreds probably.
 
My first game of the season ,looking forward to it most City games have been good in this competition so far going for 4-1

Croats got a reputation for far right affinity. Bad Blue Boys. Not sure how true that it is. I don't even know if I have the right club.
