Sparta Praha (H) - Wed 23rd Oct, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[M23 Citizen]

On the paper its basically Slovan Bratyslava type of the opponent in the power rankings. Its been pretty easy back then.

No red cards, no injuries and we should be fine.

Regardless I do not think starting eleven will be entirely different. Pep wants a bit of continuity, still to build fitness and chemistry among starters.

But I hope for Nunes to start. He has done proper job against Wolves when things been hot for him.

Blow them away and around 55/60 min introduce McAtee, O'Reilly etc.

Bratislava are currently ranked 142nd in the world. Sparta Praha are ranked 31st, ahead of teams like Napoli, Newcastle and Brighton.

Praha will be a much better side than Bratislava who are by far the worst team we’ve ever played in the CL. They played well in the first half of the game I watched them earlier in the competition away at Stutgartt. They were quick on the counter attack and had a lad who scored a screamer of a free kick who was putting good crosses in for their striker.

I’m looking forward to this one, should be a good game and we’ll have to be on it and the idea that anyone has of the likes of O’Reilly playing is far fetched.

I love that simple ‘S’ of Praha’s club badge. I’ve always liked the really simple badges most. Like Napoli’s ‘N’ or Hamburg’s tilted squares.

Looks class on the kit, very cool:

 

[yeah whatever !!]

COME ON CITY !!

Aaa another ranking, ok, now I am afraid:)

I mean, at the end point is, we should win over Sparta at the Etihad and to predict we are going to win and win with high score, which allows us to give playing time for youngsters is not rubbish opinion I believe;)

At the end of the day you called a guy out for being wrong and then he proved he was telling you the truth.

The above post is a very weird apology.

Not for one minute dismissing Sparta but if they had Nunes and McAtee they would be close to being the best players in their squad.
As we have class players everywhere and more on the bench there's no need to be over cautious tonight.
