Roma vs Manchester City Pre-Match thread.

[schfc6]

How come there isn't one pundit that can highlite the fact that we've been grouped with Bayern, Real Madrid, Bayern & Bayern. Not to mention the best Napoli team since Maradona, the Dortmund of 3 years ago. CSKA weren't long ago in the quarters. ROMA are no mugs.

We would be making the later stages if we had the groups Arsenal & Chelsea were getting.

Simple, if you're seediped 1, you get a grotesque advantage. Win the PL this year, next year will be different.

Win tonight, draw Monaco, then Athletico and we could make the semi's.

Thought Souness summed it up well so far. Naivety playing 2 up front in Europe has cost us. Back to basics tonight, shut the crowd up, get a goal and hopefully qualify.

Come on City.

 

[warringtonblue]

why?

Cos I feel we need the steadying influence of Vinny and the magic of Dave

Oh. I`m surprised you expected them to start.

May have been more in hope than expectation!

Mate, what happens if we draw 1-1 and Moscow get beat?

We'll all get pissed.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

The team selected should not fear Roma, the defensive 6 is more than good enough if its on form, my worry is who will score for us.

It's a team to Nick a one nil: maybe a set piece goal.

its capable of better if it plays well, others have started scoring, a couple more tonight would be good, like Fernandhino, Dzeko, and Navas.

Its still a strong side, stronger than a year ago, and we won in Munich then.

It's a team that shows you how much stronger our summer signings have made us. With those four missing a year ago you really would fear the worst.

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

Keep it nil:nil or even one:nil and then introduce:-
Jovetic for Dzeko - 60 minutes
Lampard for Fernando - 60 minutes
Silva for Nasri - 70 minutes

A crucial goal will come. Roma let CSKA in late at Moscow they should have been two points ahead of us really. They will have plenty of doubts themselves.

Hope it's a fair fight and City's extra class shines through. I see a draw, but I wouldn't be too surprised if we win, if we play like we can.

 

[Silva_Spell]

Dzeko needs to hold the ball up welll tonight, not something he usually does. His better games tend to be away from the groans of the Eithad tho so there's reason to be hopeful

No Kompany, Yaya, Silva and Sergio is a bit of a disaster

 

[Aguerovic]

Come on guys, I'm counting on you to win the game.

Stelling is an absolute Prick, what a twat!
