Hoffenheim (A) 1755hrs - Pre Match Thread

I think we need to give Mahrez a fair shot, rather than shoeing Sane in as an absolute definite. Also, Sterling plays well on either side.

I don't see why Mahrez can't play on the left tbh

Many have spent a lot of time and money traveling to the game obviously do give a fcuk so do all the players, staff and the owner. They want to win the competition.

I don’t think silva plays. Pep is managing him and I think he’ll be a cert for anfield. 3 games in a week might be too much.

We definitely need a strong team for this one. Hoffenheim are no mugs and we can't afford to lose another group game. Plus Klanfield is Sunday so 4 days rest should be enough.

Yer can lose two and still qualify - all depends who you lose to, but yer don't want to be losing the first two. It sets up some kind of anti-dynamic for the rest of the competition.

Expecting a 2-2 draw as City never play as well and/or try as hard in Europe as they do domestically, a simple fact. No worries for me as I simply want us to be Premier League champions once more. Anything else is a bonus.

Not sure that’s the case tbf. Napoli away, Roma away? Barca at home? I think we try equally hard. Opposition is generally better than Huddersfield or Newcastle

Sane and Sterling have to play IMO.
