Dynamo Kyiv Pre Match Thread

[mcfc_cm_71]

that's it i'm off, 3.10am flight to kiev from Gatwick, wonder if any other blues on that one, have a few beers in Victoria and watch arsenal game. no matter what the score my heart has always and will always be MCFC, fingers crossed for a win though to put us in the mood for sunday.

On the same flight but not getting into London until 11:30ish... See you at Gatwick!

ZABALETA: “Going from a big defeat on Sunday now we are 100% focused on the game tomorrow. Now is another chance to take a step forward.”
ZABALETA: “This is a big chance for us to go on the next round. Tomorrow we need to perform well and see if we can get a result.”
ZABALETA: “They (Kyiv) had a long break, time to have a good rest and recover some injured players, but we don’t need to think about this.”

So Zabs got to play another 90mins by the looks of it.

ZABALETA: “It’s not going to be an easy game. Kyiv are a great team and have played in the UCL before. We'll have to be at our best.”

PELLEGRINI: “We have a similar squad that played in the last game against Chelsea, the only player to recover was Mangala.”

PELLEGRINI: “The important thing is to have a good performance, I’m not thinking about the future.” #kyivvcity
