Napoli (H) - Thu 18th Sept, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[Dipsis_LTU_MC]

Neither the Conference League nor the Europa League has started yet, which is why Champions League matches were scheduled on Thursday. The schedule will return to normal in the coming weeks.

Match day, and the return of the king. There is a smidgen of typical City going on here. One of the best players we’ve ever had leaves us, and the first game back in the CL he plays is with his new team.

Anyway, can’t wait for this. 2-1 City, with their goal obviously coming from……

——————Donnarumma—————-
Nunes——Stones-Dias-Gvardiol
—————Bernardo—Rodri————-
—-Bobb———-Foden————-Doku
———————-Haaland——————

I’d probably go something like that. O’Reilly did well at the weekend, just not sure he is ready to be playing 3 games a week.
Could be Reijnders at 10 and Foden from the right. But I really just want Foden to make that position his own now. No harm in giving Reijnders a breather after starting 4 in a row.
Bit sad that we have to rely on Bernardo still, but not much to do about that. Could be Gonzalez, I suppose.

Gutted I won't be there tonight, Thursday night football wasn't factored into my work schedule, daughter using my ticket, as much as I loved KDB I hope we smash them, no mercy, cmon City.

Anyone know if Napoli fans are getting escort to ground

 

[Gumzy97]

Wow the glaze on napoli is crazy we will whoop them 3 to zero.

Napoli are 15 games unbeaten not counting friendlies , beating Juve , Milan and Inter in that time, this is going to be a difficult game.

 

[bluemoon32]

Hope we win 4-3, with Kev getting a hat-trick

 

[bluethai]

Would be cracking if KDB sent a killer pass for Haaland to score City’s winner.

No, I thinks it's going it's a Mondeo

 

[Keith Moon]

We will butcher them. 4-0 to the real Blues.

 

[DMA's]

Main think I’m interested in (aside from the game obviously) is how pep manages Rodri. Very unlikely he will play both tonight and Sunday.

Think this could be a draw. 2-2

 

[kunaguero10]

I was thinking the same thing. Was gonna go along and check it out but nothing doing unfortunately. Must be a gig on.

I'm hopeful that after trialling the new smaller area for the derby they can allocate that to all matchdays. After all there will now be gigs on most matchdays going forward so surely they can accomodate both together!

It’ll be a squeeze but they’ll get 5 in

Not sure they'll be allowed to bring brass into the ground mate.

Anyone know if Napoli fans are getting escort to ground

Think there will be quite a few of them so probably something bigger than an escort

Anyone know if Napoli fans are getting escort to ground

Doubt they'd all fit into one.

 

[Gray]

People dismissing Napoli are just plain stupid.

They are an excellent team and we take them lightly at our peril.

 

[Dialog]

Hope we win 4-3, with Kev getting a hat-trick

 

[Gazza]

Welcome back Kev

 

[AK45]

Be good to see Kev. Hopefully he plays how he finished with us. A win tonight will see us going into Sunday with some confidence which I didn't believe would be the case. C'mon City
