Pre Match Thread - City v Juventus (update for injuries)

[pudge]

This will be quite a test for Mangala. My real worry is that once we concede a goal, the floodgates will open, with Mangala's inexperience and rash decisions again proving costly. Still think this is a winnable match, but at some point we will concede a goal, and I'm just not confident in Mangala to cope with that on the day.

Well, admittedly, our defence isn't as good as those of the mighty Udinese, Chievo and Roma, but I'm sure we'll cope as well as they did.

Did you not see the last run of games last season when he was a rock with Martin and have you missed the first games this season?

We shouldn't be going into this game thinking that we are inferior to them. It is going to be another tough game but it is winnable. It is bad timing with Kun's injury but we have players who can step up.

The fans play a massive part in this, could hear a pin drop at times last season. I think the win against Bayern changed a lot of fans attitude towards the Champions League. Hopefully we can recreate the atmosphere versus Chelsea.

To be fair the defence has leaked a lot of goals this seas... Hang on a minute :-)

Agree, think Mangala needs a break ;)
