Get next to nothing in the Europa League and we wouldn't be up for itRuhr said:City need points for the UEFA ranking, otherwise pot 3 is not far away
And we should have qualified from this group. Ajax were a poor team, and Real Madrid weren't that special either. We massively underperformed in the competition this season. We just have to bring our Premiership game to Europe and believe in ourselves.
We gave ridiculous goals away at home to Ajax, Real Madrid and Dortmund. Although Dortmund did more than enough to win that game

MCFC BOB said:Damo, you're better with stats than I am, who was the last team from England, Italy, Spain or Germany to win the Europa League/UEFA Cup and win its domestic league in the same season?
It never happens because, unlike us, the top teams from these countries usually progress to the latter rounds of the CL therefore have no chance of actually winning the Europa League in the first place.
You say we aren't strong enough to compete on 2 fronts. Go and compare our squad to the rag squad from the 10/11 season that won the league, got to the final of the CL and the semis of the FA cup and tell me who's group of players is the stronger of the 2.

Last year it worked against Bayern.
Only difference about 80.000 people will go out for this match in Dortmund and front of them they probably wont play their B team.
If they play their best team I wouldnt bet huge money on a City win. We didnt beat anyone so far in the group home or away when it was about the CL qualification.
dont think EL qualification gives that much more ambition to the team.
From another point of view it would be good for extra European experience and coeff points. We need both.
The Germans would like nowt better than to get a double over the English champions. I'd be very surprised if they put out a reserve side. They will send the strongest message to any team still left in that if they have designs on winning the CL then they will have to overcome Borussia - clearest message is winning handsomely every match and every leg!

Firstly, we won't win in Dortmund so its an academic question.
Secondly, the thought of that Thursday/Sunday merry-go-round just depresses me.

Out of our 7 home games this season, 4 have been on saturday and 3 on sunday. I am guessing that most fans who attend all the home games like myself, prefer Saturday.
