Feyenoord v City pre-match thread

Apparently their top striker, Jorgensen is out of the game through injury.

Can any Feyenoord fan confirm this? @feyrob @Feyenoord-Fever @Feyenoord010 @Feyenoord1908 ?

Googling his name confirms it's true.

He's not great anyway tbh and is pretty slow, which would suit our defence pretty well.

How can anyone leave Aguero out of their team?

We need our strongest team out and anyone who thinks Aguero wouldn't;t be part of our strongest team is mental

You could quite easily make a case for playing a 433 where a team has quick forwards and play Jesus as a central striker.

I don't think Guardiola would agree with you.

He is indeed injured, hope our manager is going to play a 5-3-2 or 4-4-2 now because our back up striker is worthless against better teams.

Champions League and a must win game, so we have to take it seriously. As much as I'd like to see Foden or Brahim get a start it's just not appropriate until we have qualification almost guaranteed.

Bravo
Walker Otamendi Stones Mendy
Fernandinho
Sterling De Bruyne Bernardo Sane
Aguero

Bring Jesus on for 30 mins and potentially a youngster if we're comfortable in last 20.

The above.
Win the first 4 group games - then we can talk about multiple changes to the side

@feyrob how far is the ground from Rotterdam centre, and how much are the tickets?

Tickets are five euro, ground is around two/three miles from the city centre, I think. But there are good tram connections from Rotterdam Central station (lines 7,21 and 24).

Is Ederson definitely out? I'm not surprised, but I was hoping since nothing was broken he might be straight back in? We've been miles better since having a goalkeeper who makes saves.

Aguero is one of the best strikers in the world, I don't understand how anyone can leave him out.

I thought this.

It was a bad injury but as long as the cut is okay, I thought he might be able to play.

Bravo

Walker - Stones - Otamendi - Mendy

Fern

KDB - Bernardo

Jesus - Aguero - Sane

Give David a rest, maybe even a rest for Fern with Yaya coming in as i'd expect us to have a large amount of possession.
