Feyenoord v City pre-match thread

[Bilboblue]

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).

Thank you. Can we buy tickets at the ground, or only at De Kuip?

I read on another forum that you can pay at the gate for 5euro ... see you there

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.

Probably best to get him back into the action as quickly as possible rather than let him dwell on the incident. Assuming he feels ready to play of course

Polish referee Szymon Marciniak (36) will take charge of Feyenoord vs. Manchester City on Wednesday.

I agree. Petr Cech was not the same keeper for a long time after his injury (some would say ever again) and I don't think dwelling on how bad it was, does anyone any favours. Get back on the horse and try to forget about it as soon as possible.

He looked absolutely mustard did Ederson in that first half hour. This will help us like him that bit more that bit quicker. He will be fine by weekend I think. Looks a big mad ugly bugger anyway so a few more scars wont hurt. I noticed he has a happy smiley circular face tattoed behind his other ear! Nutter.

Totally agree mate. He could be just what we were missing last season. I can only imagine how much it affected our back 4's confidence last season, thinking "if I fuck up here, we concede"... Instead of "even if I fuck up, our keeper will probably save it".

It was great when he pulled off that decent save low to his left. You could feel the whole ground think - yes he is decent. Then he did two or 3 md kicks. He has proved he is brave as fuck. Not felt like this about a keeper for a good while. Joe was very decent but had gone stale. Also it has to be said I was pleased with the reception Bravo got from the crowd and he also made a save I think!

Mendy said in his post match interview that Ederson had been through worse, he grew up in a favela haha.

Again, agreed.

WRT Bravo, let's hope last season was a total blip. Hard to believe a former Barca keep could be as bad as he was, so maybe he just had a terrible season and lost all his confidence. I'd like to think he could be a decent back up.
