Schalke (h) pre-match thread

[deano ou812]

He did in a 3atb vs Liverpool (5-0) last season

Wouldn’t be surprised to see him maybe start at cb on Tuesday night,would rather stones and Laporte given a bit more time for recovery instead of possibly being rushed into action maybe a 20-30 min 2nd half for either if tie is out of Schalke’s reach.

Have we got any defenders fit??, back 3 of Walker, Danilo and zinchenko

 

[HorlocksWalk]

Turpin? Dick? Another bloody Uefa highwayman?

I believe he has a brother called Ben

That's Andre Marriner.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Will we see the Mangler tomorrow night ?

 

[Kompany Car]

Sure about Sandler? He is not on the "who was training today" list on the official site.

Yep, Eric Garcia is not eligible. (But B list from next season onwards.)

Laporte and Stones were training, but who knows how fit they are?
Vinnie didn't train, but could be on the bench maybe.

Bit short of CBs.

Absolutely threadbare, think the only other CB who is registered on the B list is Cameron Humphreys. Don’t know if he’s been training but it would be one hell of a step up.

Would be a typical City way to go out of the tournament.

Don’t think he is registered as part of the squad for the Chumps League. He was on there for the group stage but removed for the knockout rounds.

My main worry is highway robbery by corrupt UEFA match officials......hope to be proved wrong......

MEN are reporting that Schalke will march to the ground before the game and it might disrupt travel to the ground tomorrow as roads maybe shut? They have 3,000 tickets but possible more will be travelling. See link...

I reckon there could be a few Schalke in the City ends but should be fine. I doubt the atmosphere will be what they are used to but I hope they enjoy the game, and Manchester.

Sounds like it's going to be a wet morning, but by evening weather should be OK.
