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

Yeah, you're right:

lazy fecker

 

[Legal Alien]

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Stones
Gvardiol
Rodri
De Bruyne
Foden
Bernardo
Grealish
Haaland

In many ways, team picks itself, and based on yesterday.

Not sure i would play Stones in this, we need to treat him with kid gloves at the moment and save him for Saturday.
I'd also definitely play Ake and Grealish, it gives us more stability down the left.

I also think it's time for Alvarez to get a bit of a rest, he's played a lot of football and he's looked tired recently.

Ederson
Walker
Akanji
Dias
Ake
KDB
Rodri
Foden
Bernardo
Haaland
Grealish

No I think someone described it as incredible not “not bad”. I’d say those results were decent but far from incredible- they did only lose to Bayern by one goal, and they did beat rags and I think Galatasaray by a goal

Bayern beat the rags twice by 1 goal which is poor really if you look at 2 sets of players. I don't think all is well at bayern between players and manager so I wouldn't look at bayern games against Copenhagen as a guide to how we will get on against them. Approach the game in the right frame of mind and I thoroughly expect us to put the tie to bed 2moro night.

Think they gave Bayern a fright, that's where the not bad at home comes from.

I don't think Bayern are anything special this season.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

I think Julians due a good rest. Been running himself into the ground of late and is clearly in need of a game or two out. Just looks jaded atm. Just get this game won with no mither..a nice 2-0 again will suffice.

 

[sh249]

I meant as alternatives - he's got most of squad as options there!

Hardly. Walker or Akanji, as I think they’re much of a muchness.
And Gvardiol only if Ake can’t do two games in quick succession.

 

[halfcenturyup]

Not surprised by this stat.
I was at the game last season and the home atmosphere was incredible.
The fans were also very friendly before and after the game.

Copenhagen is great for anyone lucky enough to go. One of only two places I have been strip searched at the airport though whilst arriving. I did fly in just for a dinner with my Danish ex-junior, though. No bags, just a return ticket the same night and some money. Or it may have been the white jacket or flying in from Amsterdam that did it. I may have been hoping for a finger up my arse that night, but it definitely wasn't from the Danish customs looking for drugs :(

As it turned out, she was pregnant from a Swiss national ice hockey player while she was in Zurich, so, in a way, I was buggered twice that night.

Sorry, as you were. Great place.

Is in the Hary Kane Jinx?

---------------Ederson
Walker---Dias---Stones---Gvardiol
------------------Rodri
-------De Bruyne---Bernardo
Foden------Haaland------Grealish

use Bernardo to create overloads out wide and Foden to drift inside occasionally

A very comfortable 4-0 win, with numerous players withdrawn before 80 minutes

If Carlsberg did Champions League nights. :-)

I know, but we're in a run of form and they're just coming off a winter break with no rhythm

Yep, my point was that Copenhagen don’t have a special home record, rather they have an ok one

Is my vision fucked?

Danish people are fabulous and really friendly, I'm off over there for a few days in April staying at my mates a Manc ex-season card holder, everyone over there certainly where we go love the Brits.

Nah, I’m trying to keep up with the cool kids.
Unsuccessfully it seems.. haha!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Think they gave Bayern a fright, that's where the not bad at home comes from.

It’s worth noting that they haven’t played a competitive game since the start of December, just a few friendlies.

 

[skillman]

Any news on Kova and Gvardiol? Both absent apparently but hopefully nothing major.

Love me some Kova ball and feel he’s been a bit stop/start since joining.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Would love to win this again just to see Cerferin giving his trophy to the guilty ones , that c*nt has got more faces than a fifty pence piece and the quicker he f*cks off from UEFA the better , but knowing our luck David Gill would replce him.
As for Copenhagen some media are saying what a great team they are because they beat the Rags , Newport ounty gave the Rags a fright so its hardly a comparison to the current European & World Champions

There are no cool kids on here, just FOCs and semi FOCs.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Pain in the arse Kovacic picking up a knock, seems to happen just when he gets his best form!
