Leverkusen (H) - Tues 25th Nov, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

Yeh big thank you to the thousands of city fans who’ve paid fortunes to go tonight. Ridiculous team - bordering on dipper type arrogance

Grow the fuck up

 

[Infinite blue]

Is anybody on this forum a city fan. Great team, all signed by the club, therefore viewed as good enough to play for city. What's the point of them if never picked? Win lose or draw just give your all for the shirt and buck up blues.

Weird but let’s hope it pays off!

Strange to make so many changes.

 

[Macca77macca]

Come on City. Come on John Boy. :-) ;-)

The disgraceful comments from supposed fans here. Twats the lot of them.

Just realised nobodies actually posted it yet:



Probably all in shock.

 

[Stelea]

The lineup struggled to beat Swansea

 

[M Gaudino]

jesus christ. are we playing Altrincham or something. that team is bobb(ins)

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

WTF

 

[ninjamonkey]

Nobody guessed that I imagine.

Weird lineup, it's a lineup I have been saying we should go with in some of these CL games as the jeopardy isn't there and we should be easily beating most teams anyway, but didnt expect it against the pot 2 team.

Expecting a standard formation with Lewis in midfield (i did call for one of our "fullbacks" to get a game in midfield) but could be a chance for a back 5 there too with wing backs.

Biggest concern is there is not going to be any cohesion in that team, but on the other hand, plenty of players with a point to prove who need to impress. Massive benefits if we can get a win out of it, more changes than I think is neccesary and he'll be in for some stick if it backfires but I'm on board with it.

No Phillips :(

 

[Ken92]

What the hell is this line-up :D

 

[burning blue soul]

This is the most obvious 'warning to the team' team selection I've ever seen. 11 changes.
Pep is super pissed off with that Newcastle performance.
I fucking love it!
He's laid down the law to them.

It’s weird isn’t it. Our own supposed fans slagging off our own players.

You’d think we were playing a bunch of kids. Most of the players starting cost huge amounts of money

No I don’t think there is. Just these freak internet “fans” who piss me right off.

Pep doing what Pep does when he’s seen his arse

Why in shock? FFS

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Looks like it will be Kush looking after the defence

Nico holding midfield on his own

And Marmoush trying to find the net single handedly.

Not confident at all. Leverkusen only lost 2 games in 16 this season. They are no mugs!!!!

 

[Dodge]

Plenty of people on this forum criticised the attitude of the team at SJP. We looked leggy after their 2nd goal. No creativity. No leaders. No runners.

I like that team. Hungry players. Point to prove. They all need minutes. Chance to shine.

Well done Pep. Blindsided us all. Blindsided any preparation that Leverkusen have drilled into their team.

3-0 City.

 

[tommybooth]

The man professor has gone full bore.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

I'd honestly play Bobb on the left and Savinho on the right, won't happen though.
