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

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Tough game. We've not looked good recently and have been scraping results - we only looked good against the Rags due to their absolute negative brand of football. Once again Haaland was firing blanks, KdB is still not in great form and Foden looks ok.

This lot will be right up for this and could take advantage of a weakened side if we're thinking of the big game this weekend. They will be fresh after their Winter break and will remember their success in Manchester already this season.

I'd take 1-1 right now and get to the last 8.

Your best wumming days are behind you, malg; )

Rests for Kev, Phil, Johnny, Ruben, Nathan and Rodders. Try get Josko back to sharpness, some gametime for Bobb and hopefully some goals for Erl before the trip to Anfield.

I can't decide how strong Pep will go. Another goal in Copenhagan would have helped. If he goes fully weak we don't relly want to risk being behind in the second half and panicking. I suspect he will go fairly strong and make subs second half.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

We only need to concede a shot-in-the-foot goal, a goal from their only first half strike, or a gifted pen from Uefa's finest corkscrew and the jitters will set in.

I think 2-0 after ten mins will do the job.

Just called into the old wellington for a pint rammed with Copenhagen fans some of them ignorant cnuts to the staff ..

That's strange usually the Danes are good guys.

Absolute nonsense. Copenhagen FC will treat this as their cup final. With a weakened side (hopefully), City should be happy with a draw and no injuries.

You're starting to annoy everybody on this site. Either get a job or get a girlfriend.

It's the only work out I get these day CTB. ;-)

I trust we will be professional and manage the game properly. Perhaps some minutes for Bobb and Lewis.

got typical City all over it this, with ten min to go we'll be scrambling for a goal to take it to extra time, or maybe not
