Dortmund (H) - CL QF | Pre-Match Thread

[St.Pauli support]

Wait, have I missed something?

Yes - away goals still count in the Champions League and Europa League knockout games, even if one or both legs happens to be played at a neutral stadium. The away goals rule only apply in two-legged knockout ties.

Yeah, missed my EDIT ;)

-----------------Ederson---------------
Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
--Bernardo Rodri Gundogan--
--- Foden ---- KDB ------------------
‐---------------------------------- Jesus

I'd play Foden on the right. And let the left for Jesus to drift into. KDB would have a free role.

I just prefer Jesus or Foden to Sterling on the left.

Once Bernardo and Foden start I'll be happy.

Getting greedy. I want this game, and I want it now.

Same, it's probably the most excited I've ever been for a champions league match!

I know it's basic but just as a reminder:
clean sheet is absolutely key. (Now we have developed some routine in that during the season.)
No more CL away rule trouble
EDIT: ... anymore please after painful experience vs Monaco and spurs. Rule still being in place.

Even a 1-0 would be a very good result. 2-0 be great.

This is City here were talking about, we never do things straightforward lol

I think Dortmund will try to play dead tomorrow night
Mornchenglabach beat them 4-2 in jan and we hammered them
Dortmund attacking us would be suicide in a first leg
I reckon 3-1 win for us

Now at least Pep can't spoil his tactics as he always does because false 9 is our best lineup right now and our defense is also the best in the world. I can't wait, I'm curious.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

He can wear a pink Alice band with that haircut for all I care if he's getting 30 goals a season for us.

Amen to that. Was just messing. Hope we get him

If you think Pep over thinks things then why would you doubt his ability to do it again? :)

Isn’t it at the quarter final stage that they send their ref to put us out , they’ve left us alone so far ....it can’t carry on .

 

[The Black Shed]

I've not seen anything of Dortmund other than breif goal highlights and it appears they are a fast counter attacking team. Their results are a bit like Leeds, win or lose, shit or bust. They are scoring more than two a game so City absolutely have to be on it, but I'm not the person to say where their threats develop from, obviously Haaland is lethal so his supply needs to be cut. I think they will score in both legs so City need at least 3 over the two legs. Narrow home win for me, 2-1

Pre match press conference on now.

Switching off - sound is shit!

 

[bluemoon32]

2-0 City. Haaland not to get a sniff

I hope he won't overthink his tactics right now, just simply send the best line-up to the field and play our own game and then we can beat anyone.

I watched it on the OS and great to see the faces of the cunts who ask the questions.

Just out of curiosity like, you definitely wouldn't be taking note for later...

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

We need to smash the fuck out of this lot....


.....then put a cheeky bid of €50M in for Haaland ;)

 

[Ashleymcduff]

Honest to go never been more confident before a big game .
Normally back the other team to have a little victory like I did with Lyon last year at 14/1

we should pump them Tommorow night score 3/4 goals hopefully conceded none

 

[kaz7]

Pep and rodders just talking about playing our own game , pep saying the lyon game stayed in his head for a week, he got that so wrong , here is hoping that he doesnt try something stupid tomorrow
