I thought Oktoberfest was in September?

In Munich it started in September and ends tomorrow.

 

[Gray]

We are without key players and not playing great, I would be more than happy not to lose.

0 - 4 for us , another Haaland storm

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

I think we'll draw or lose here and lose to the Arse and everyone will be in a blind panic at 4 without a win. The press will be orgasmic and over excited, we will get on here 'Pep has taken us a far a he can', 'Haaland is over rated', 'Kovotic is useless' etc etc. Then Pep will do something genius to change it and we'll go on to win 2 or 3 trophies. It happens almost every year. Don't panic Citizens :)

Liverpool Echo headline or Spitty?

Pep will obviously go full strength (including Rodri at CDM). Win here and the group is all but over. Lose and it will go to Match Day 6 to see who finishes top.

All about the reaction of the players after Saturday, Nunes and Doku need to realise that mediocrity doesn’t cut it with Pep and City , they are playing with the big boys now .

 

[yeah whatever !!]

COME ON CITY !!

Rodri can play

Is there really a huge difference to finishing top or second?

Is there really a huge difference to finishing top or second?

A few million quid likely to having more points and a home tie second leg in the knockouts.

There's not really anyone we should fear but finishing second would certainly bring Munich into the teams we could be drawn against who'll likely be the best of the rest as we try on retain the cup.
