Juventus away 25th November - pre match thread

I'm happy with that starting 11 considering the circumstances. Two ferns makes me happy.

I think we'll play for a draw, but that's difficult with Demichelis. I think we'll lose tonight, but Sevilla are capable of beating Juve at home, so we could still top the group.

Those 0-0's at Villa and the rags; I'd take those tonight.

Think we might knick it by the odd goal mate, having said that I am on some strong medication just now :-)

Apart from the missing Vinnie and Merlin, that's a pretty decent line up. For me, there isn't a lot between Gael and AK. That being said, I'd take the draw right now.

Dybala up against Demichelis has me breaking out in a rash.

I'm extremely unconfident about this game, I'd snatch a draw right now no problem

Agreed Colin, can only see another defeat though and after our shopping in the summer, never thought I would be saying that this season!

Indeed, the Summer acquisitions were meant to dovetail nicely into the existing set up and then add just those elements that kiboshed our title defence last season. So far, it's all been a little underwhelming. Even when we were still top, it was all a little underwhelming. I hope the underwhelmingness is just a temporary blip, and the current stutter in the PL is our season's stammer!

What Jim said. ^

Time to forget about Saturday now and prove what a good side we can be. Hopefully we match them in midfield as I think that's where it will be won or lost.

A win would be fantastic,a draw would also be very good if we can keep things tight early doors I see us getting out of Turin with a draw,just no silly mistakes please city lets top this group and give our chances of progressing beyond the last 16 a huge boost....

The first 10 minutes will reveal whether we're going to get pasted again or not. You can always tell early on with City if we are arsed or not.

Agreed Dave. I think when we signed sterling,de bruyne, otamendi and Delph adding to players like vinny, Merlin, Nasri, yaya and Sergio I genuinely thought we would demolish the league in record time! Despite winning our first five games the wheels have come off a touch and 4-1 defeats to Spurs and the dippers and some lackluster performances in quite a few games the season really has been a bit of a let down.
