Juventus (A) - Wed 11th Dec, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[Betterdeedthan red]

Just looked at juve team.
I've never heard of any of them.

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue never give in, they fight to the end. Come on City, come on City. Show 'em lads, show 'em all. Especially that Old Lady team from somewhere abroad. They think they are better than us, they are babies compared to us they were only formed in 1897!! ;-)

Especially the know nowt, alleged media types who keep attending our matches for some reason and then writing pure and utter garbage about us. The silly clack-box chuckle heads that they are, they don't know the difference between a football and a rugby ball.

Especially the Specsavers needing, whistle blowing dunderheads known as officials. Official fribble, gollumpus, milksops who can't tell the elite teams from the rubbish and I keep telling them we are the elite. We are MANCHESTER CITY, THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD. You shiitake mushrooms remember what I said.

Go for it City lads, go for it. We can and will do it. :-) :-)

Disappointed to see kdb start again, 3 successive games ahead of the derby, felt like tonight should have been his rest with maybe an appearance from the bench, we don't want him breaking down again.

Correct call getting Ederson back in. Should never have been dropped in the first place. Not sure what Nunes has got to do to get successive starts. Continually produces and yet see's himself replaced by players who aren't.

Priority has to be avoiding further injuries, that lineup leaves us at risk. Let's just hope we get through it unscathed. A result would be a welcome bonus.

 

[Ric]

I’m surprised that people are surprised by the line-up. The team practically picked itself tonight given injuries.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Walker and Lewis being the full backs just fills me with absolute dread.

Hope it’s Bernie RW, Doku LW and Grealish central like last week.

Happy with the team and think it’s about the best we can put out in the circumstances.

Would perhaps rather have Rico at RB, Walker with Ruben and becomes a more natural 3 in possession.

Depends what they have on the wings and I’ve no idea on that.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Eddie in nets presumably they press pretty hard so he can hit the outball.

He's the cup keeper, for now.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Great to see Kovacic and Foden return.

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Just looked at juve team.
I've never heard of any of them.

Danilo rings a bell :-)

 

[Gray]

10 players?

Not surprised really, just disappointed that once again Nunes and O'Reilly can't seem to buy a game while Gundogan's getting run into the ground.
