Shakhtar Donetsk (h) pre-match thread

Blimey, why would they do that? They only lost 2-1

Because this could be their year to win the Serie A league title. We should consider this approach and rest Aguero & Silva for the bigger Chelsea game.

Strong team to start with and take off players when hopefully the game has been won.

Which clandestine organisation’s gentlemen’s club have you been frequenting to gather that bit in intel?

Believe it a or not, Mr sarcasm, there are such things as podcasts dedicated to Italian football in English.

I know, hence the *gentle* sarcasm at the way you phrased the post. ;-)

I think his main request is that we turn up.

Does this apply to the players too?

They'd better.

No-one needs resting,we are on a roll and they won't be tired,never take a CL game lightly,as for predicting the team no chance,in the best way of course

IMO Chelsea next week is bigger than Shaktar on Tuesday, I am in agreement Serge should have a rest, bring in Jesus for him.

Pep has already given a strong indication on camera that Jesus will start on Tues.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Jesus will play so it's a case of who misses out or whether if risks Sane as left wing back assuming Mendy out

Must win as a result for Shakhtar considering they have beaten Napoli already at home and to get something away at City will make them feel they are in control of the group for the time being, and rightly so I reckon.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a back three.
