FC Copenhagen (A) - Tue 13th Feb, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

i don’t think it’s time off, i don’t think they get time off unless there’s some family emergency. and i don’t think they’d even want time off.

kova is probably injured cause he was there on saturday, sitting with gomez, behind kdb.i don’t think he’d sit there while ill.
joško, no idea, could be ill, could be an injury. i simply cannot understand those journalists, why don’t they ask about squad fitness, it’s such a basic question.

You would think the first question in any pre match interview with the boss would be about squad availability/injury latest.

Don't be daft. The first question has always got to be about body language/Pep leaving/outstanding charges/Haaland unhappy. Its the rules.

Hence the perplexed look on Pep's face to such banal questions asked incessantly by fuckin' numpties.

Love it when he gets exasperated with the inane questions and explains the thinking behind his tactics. It's like explaining some complicated scientific theory to my dog. Mind you I grew up with the ideas that goalkeeper's didn't come out of the area ,fullbacks stayed back and the most common shouts were "get rid or get it in the mixer" .

I have no idea why they need all these press meetings. Imagine having to sit there two or three times a week facing a bunch of wankers you know hate you and the club and being polite. They just ask the same shite anyway most of the time.

Just so I know, are we playing the worst team left in the competition or, one of the best because after all they beat thisismenchesteryoonitid and anyone that can do that, well their world beaters. Certainly the rags I've talked to don't know which it is :-)

This ^^^^.. hahahaha what we need is a Gary cook type figure coming out doing the press conference and hammering the table with his fist when responding to the media crap questions,actually think it was over the kaka episode or tevez that he thumped the table go on Gary hahaha give it them ..

Played some good stuff in the group, but after a couple of months off it's quite a challenge for them.

Need to get the balance right between width and creativity in the middle. It wasn't right against Everton, but I'd expect Copenhagen to play a more open attacking game because they're at home so should be more space to exploit.

Would be lovely to batter them as the return leg slots between the derby and then a trip to Anfield.

Copenhagen 1-4 City

I think most of us have sat through worse, far more often and for far less money.

I don’t think I’d be that upset sitting up there.

I think because of the next leg being in between dippers and rags, Pep will almost certainly want to put this to sleep tonight so he doesn't have to go full strength in next leg. My prediction is 2-0, but I'd love a another 1 or 2 to help us out with squad rotation.
