Shakhtar Donetsk (H) - CL - Pre-Match Thread

[SebastianBlue]

May the omnipotent being in the sky help this place (and we mods) if any one of Raheem, Rodri, or Dinho get injured tonight.

And if we lose based on Ilkay not being up to it...

If people think that starting Foden would affect our chance if winning tonight then we have altogether a different problem. He will soon start thinking of going somewhere else.
Pep just simply can't say sorry and go away

 

[Fordyboy46]

Rodri and Gundogan in midfield could be a mistake tonight.

 

[lastmanback]

A draw will see us finish top I think

We Draw and Zagreb win tonight.
Last game at there ground will decide whó tops group. I think :-).

 

[Fame Monster]

How the fuck Gundogan gets in ahead of Foden in that position, I'll never know.

I’ve lost complete faith in Pep bringing youngsters through. Really disappointing.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

He is not leaving ffs

If he doesn’t start in games and carries on warming the bench he will

He is good enough now not in 2 years

 

[Deleted member 81382]

Is anyone dissapointed that Foden isn't starting?

 

[Blue Hefner]

Fern should have got the night off and Foden should definitely started. He changed the game on Saturday

Given the title is as good as gone, in spite of the brave noises, Pep wants to make sure we win the group and hopefully get an easier knockout game. Also he might be saving Foden for Newcastle.
