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

[WesthoughtonJohn]

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. :-) :-)

You OK tonight Eccles??
Or are you in Italy and been enjoying a few of the finer wines over there ;)

Really surprised to see Kev starting again. Let’s hope his body can cope.
Up the Blues

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

Exactly!

Still a chance to finish top 8 but equally still a chance we don't make the knockouts so we have to go strong. Great boost ahead of the derby if we put in a performance tonight.

And the weaknesses in our team can't be addressed because alternative players aren't available.

They would wrap Kevin in cotton wool if they felt it necessary. Arguably they did that for the previous month or so and he is now ready to go and play consistently. If Foden or Kovacic can play any part tonight/Sunday I am sure he will come off and get some rest. If we played yesterday he might not have started but the extra day helps.

 

[big gaz]

Kev starting is fucking idiotic given we've got the scum on Sunday.

Gundogan playing every minute of every game all season pretty much - the poor sod, really not what he came back for at all.

Well said my view as well :-)

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Bernie and Grealish out wide will cover Walker and Rico much more than Savinho and Nunes - I know Jack will probably start in the middle, but against Forest he frequently dropped into left back.

Plan is to give it to Doku and KDB as much as possible, hope for the best.

 

[mccity]

10 players?

The preview image is a bit small, so it's cut Vlahovic out

 

[lancs blue]

10 players?

Perhaps trying to fool us that Vlahovic isn't starting up front.

 

[M Gaudino]

Walker Lewis and Gundogan

we’re getting pumped

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Fuck it, that front 5 is capable of doing some damage, let’s be clinical blue boys and get a few shots off. Would love to see Jack (or any of them) take a couple of shots when he’s in and around the box.

Just need the back 6 to cut out the recent fuck ups.

 

[bluemoon32]

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

Danilo used to play for us
