Roma vs Manchester City Pre-Match thread.

Surprised nobody's kicked this off yet or at least I can't find it if so.

Anyway I'm really looking forward to this should be a cracking game. Looks like Kompany & Aguero will defo be missing and with Yaya suspended it's going to be a tough ask. Hopefully we have Silva available if so I can't see him starting. Flood the Midfield with grafters and ball winners and hopefully use Navas to break away.

I do feel confident we can progress but I see a few goals being scored I'm going for a 2-2 draw where we'll be hanging on for dear life in last 10 mins.

bet he plays sagna.

 

[Sergi0 Na5r1]

Definitely need Lamps up there to start. Whether he plays full 90 should be decided later.

Also Zaba instead of Sagna please. We can't take any risks in our defense.

Hopefully Kolorov is back too? Clichy hasn't been bad though in his recent games.

I have a feeling we won't start with an out and out striker and will have a 451 / 433

Clichy has been at his best, would be wrong to leave him out of this one, in this form.

This is it.

The biggest game to round off our fantastic run. Hopefully we can get the 3 points. Don't mind what CSKA do, just want us to do our bit and give a great showing.

Roma did rest 4 players during the weekend.

 

[Bluemooner91]

It's almost impossible to predict the starting 11 and even more so the result. Win or lose I'm praying for a decent performance. We were more or less dead and buried In this competition a few weeks ago so anything is a bonus. Massive game, massive night, come on you blues!!!!

Surely Silva won't be just thrown straight into the team, he's been out for weeks, he will need to be eased into it. If I knew for fact he wouldn't get injured again I would of course start him, but considering I don't know, I would have him on the bench and play for the last 20 minutes.
