Porto (A) - CL | Pre-Match Thread

[Scaring Europe to Death]

Weird one tonight, as we need to rest some players, but will probably lose if we do, as Porto are a good team.
I would stay fairly strong and hopefully get the Group won.
Try new players and ideas against Marseille.

Think Pep will be up for this especially with the prick of a Porto manager getting in his face at the home game

The DT this morning reports that Conceicao thinks Pep influences refs. Well, the games I've watched at The Etihad seem to tell me a different story.

Conceicao needs to show some respect also needs to be brought down a peg or two,nothing against Porto but hope we hammer them because of this cnut..

Is it still a huge advantage if you top the group?

 

[SidJames]

Got a good vibe about this.

Something felt different against Burnley.(yeah i know it was only Burnley)

Hopefully we are turning a corner,on the up.

Come on City.

Probably not. As the groups stand, if we topped our group we could face either Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Ajax, Sevilla, Lazio, Juventus or PSG in the next round.

If we finished second, we could face either Bayern, Borussia Monchengladbach, Dortmund or Barcelona in the last 16.

Obviously things can still change, but doesn't seem to be a huge advantage to topping the group.

Ederson
Cancelo Stones Ake Zinchenko
Bernardo Fernandinho Foden
Torres Jesus Sterling

Walker, Dias, Laporte and Rodri all get a rest. It would have been good to have someone like Braaf here for this game. Hopefully the game is won by the 65th min mark and we can take off Torres or Sterling for him. Maybe thats the plan for Marseille.

I remember when the pre match threads were really busy, this is what happens when you play so many matches in quick succession. Sucking the life out of the game this schedule

Sucking the life out of in the match day thread? Now what does that remind me of?

They need a point so will park the bus
City need a win to secure top place
We go there and put out a statement.
Porto 0 city 5
