Lyon (a) pre-match thread

[Didsbury Dave]

Haha calm those eager jump the gun replys down lads, i didn't say I don't like the Champions League or that I won't be watching. My point was clear as day that it's just not as exciting as the Premier League.

I hate this small-minded attitude. The Champions League is the priority for Pep, the players, the owners and any sensible fan. If we get to the final it would arguably the most exciting occasion in the club's entire history. It's the only goal left for us now.

This afternoon.
CL teams have to do a training session 1 day pre match, open for media for at least 15 minutes.
The presser with coach +1 player (Laporte again?) has to start 1 day pre match between 12 and 8 pm local time.

Lyon homepage say city's presser starts 5.45 pm.

Flight is what, 3.5 hours? They should be off already, no?

3.5 hours to Lyon ? maybe from Tenerife,be about 1.20 from Manchester

Flight shouldn't be much more than 90 minutes, its not that far down France, and I assume they mean 5:45 CET, which is 4:45 our time, so I would imagine that they are already there.

Just read on city watch but wasn’t sure if the open training session was at city or Lyon . Weird Gabby is absent . Hope it’s not too bad.

I reckon you might be right, if pre-season was anything to go by

3.5 hrs! - by car...
Sloppy research ;-)

 

[Chi-town blues]

Can mahrez play in the middle? I’m guessing it’ll be Delph along with David and ferny .

 

[GX Blue]

If Gundogan is missing later (he hasnt trained) Would we play Mahrez in the centre?

Be great to see him, Sane and Sterling all playing at the same time.

 

[meeesh]

Just took off now

[goater1985]

Fair few injuries for this now, KDB, Bernardo, Gundogan, Jesus, Mendy, Bravo....

think it will be

Ederson
walker Ota laporte Delph
Silva Fern Foden
Mahrez Aguero Sane

 

[chaddblue]

it is, avoiding defeat is a good result either way tomorrow.

Cheers. So a defeat would mean getting top spot is out of our hands
