Shakhtar Donetsk (a) pre-match thread

I hope Ilkay plays a blinder and proves my apprehension unfounded.

Starting 11 is a piss-take.

We'll probably still win though.

You can always watch another match

Think Fern is going to become a godly CB for us this season.

Hope so, would solve a lot of problems.

Madrid vs PSG and Juve vs Spurs so plenty of options.




Jk.

It we go a goal or two up then he’ll probably play ok and chip in with a third. That’s never the problem.

The problem is when we are under the cosh and he hides from the ball.

Perfect summary of him. Absolutely spot on.

And add to that Bernie DEFINITELY shows more hunger than Gundogan but hasnt had the chance to play centrally this season where he played some of his best football last season.

Pep is always trying to showhorn Gundo into the lineup at the expense of the team.

Agree. If Gundogan was the same player he was at Dortmund then I would understand his obsession with Gundogan. But this current Gundogan is quite underwhelming, especially as attacking midfielder.

Looks a bit pedestrian in the middle but I can see why he might go a bit more cautious tonight after Sat and with it being the first game.

Jesus to score 2 in a 2-1 win.

Designated scapegoats for today if things go sour (based on usual opinions from know-all forum experts):
1. Gundo (10)
2. Mahrez (7)
3. Otto (5)
4. Walker (4)
5. Zin (3)
6. Jesus (2)

Jk.

Bit harsh to ask Spurs to play Juve tonight. ;-)

If hes proved right hes not wrong.

I think almost any side I put out tonight should win, does it mean my selection is the right one.
If you think it’s the best side crack on, I don’t.

Only on BM

Your reply is I agree, it’s not rocket science, recently mourinho said city b side could finish 3rd, doesn’t mean I’d want to watch it.
