Napoli (Away) Pre Match Thread

[Gorton_Tubster]

Real test for us tonight, at theirs hostile atmosphere and an opposition capable of scoring a few against us. Whatever happens, win, lose, draw I hope the team put in a hard working performance and come out with their heads held high. I am really getting into this hard work and attck at all costs attitude, we can do without the sort of crushing season changer like Chelsea did last night. Go blues, 5-6

Just keep our heads and we can nick this.

Not really. Until Jesus loses his first game in a City shirt, I'm hanging onto the belief that we are invincible with him in the side.

Ah, gotcha :)

I agree, play our best and we have a great chance

 

[SebastianBlue]

Ah, gotcha :)

Aguero starts and Jesus picked up a stomach bug on the flight to Napoli, nailed on.

I think Aguero will start this one

 

[SebastianBlue]

I think Aguero will start this one

I think he will, too.

I was just joking about Gabby not taking part and thus us not being “invincible”.

 

[ballinio]

Aguero breaks the record in Naples ......

 

[Tricky_Trev]

especially with the arse playing thursday

Their reserves will be playing Thursday, not their first team. They are at home to Crvena Zvezda...

Irrespective of what happens tonight its been an outstanding start on all fronts.
We shouldn't be afraid of anybody.

Red Star is easier to spell.

What time does the coverage start on Bt3?

 

[domalino]

Anyone else really relaxed about this one?
Napoli have never lost to an English side at home.
Our form is gradually heading towards a draw or defeat, just as a byproduct of winning 13 in a row. I'd rather it happened here than at Arsenal.
We're safe in our group. This match won't decide if we qualify or not. I'd actually prefer Napoli to go through over Shakhtar.


So as long as we go out there and play well, I'm pretty relaxed - a loss or draw really won't be the end of the world in this one game.

7pm.

 

[Stevieatlasblue]

I would take it a draw right now..come on blues.. make Manchester proud again.

 

[kaz7]

A draw will see us through,they will probably try and blitz us early door like we did to them,so long as we don't ship more than 1 early goal then we'll be ok,i hope we are ready from the start

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Tough, tough ask to get anything out of tonight, we don't need to risk injury or fatigue by chasing the game, however if we win tonight I'd say it's pretty much conclusive that we are the best team in Europe at the moment, that's merely on the teams we'd of already beaten.... I'd take a draw now though!

 

[cadds92]

I am expecting a Monaco style blitz in the first 30 minutes by Napoli.

We just need to keep our heads, concentrate and not get sloppy, and try and control as much of the ball as possible.

The sting needs to be taken out of the game as early as possible I think.
