FC Copenhagen - Wed 6th Mar, 20:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

These are getting an absolute bumming.

Gosh, the pre-match hospitality has certainly moved on...

In the end, tomorrow we only have to score more than them.

Or draw, or lose by no more than one goal

It's called the Tunnel Club for a reason! :)

Get the tie won in the 1st half & then make changes for Sunday.

Stones should have the night off & hopefully Rodri, Kev, Berny & Phil don't play more than 60 minutes

 

[foggy1974]

I'd like to see Stones and KDB completely rested tomorrow. Copenhagen are a Championship standard side whom the rest should be able to crush comfortably, then get 5 other of the big boys off asap.
I'd play Haaland for at least an hour - assuming he's fit - as he still needs minutes.

If Copenhagen are a championship side what are the rags?

 

[Withnail]

Pep will play a strong team, can see Kdb and Stones being rested with Sunday in mind. Another goal will virtually kill the tie and then make changes in the second half.

 

[Lavinda Past]

City will be three up by half time and the second half will be a training exercise with 95% possession.

People are mad if they think we will see a load of changes as Pep values this competition as much as the league! A couple of changes maybe to begin with and then maybe 3-4 more if things are going well after 60 minutes but it will be a shambles if he goes too weak and we get binned out.

 

[Longballutd]

I fully expect Pep to put out a very strong line up.
We don’t face the dippers until Sunday and they play in Prague Thursday.

Beware of a first leg 3-1 lead.

Can I remind you that when FA Cup ties were of 2 legs, in 1945-46, City were up against Bradford Park Avenue in Round 4 and won the first leg 3-1, away.

It looked pretty safe for a passage through to Rouind 5, but the score in the second leg was Ciry 2, Bradford PA 8.

Yes, 2-8, at Maine Road. Can you imagine the media meltdown if it's City 2 Copenhagen 8?

Don't say I didn't warn you........

Are you by any chance related to @malg or @lionheart ?
