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

Nunes surely has to start this game.

Pep will often go safety first with team selection in the CL but this is like playing a championship side in the FA cup at home for me and should be treated as such.

Hopefully see a bit of rotation so that players can get some needed minutes under their belts:

Ortega
Lewis
Akanji
Ake
Gvardiol
Kovacic
Nunes
Foden
McAtee
Grealish
Haaland

 

[Tevez City]

I want Mcatee, , Nunes & Nico to start

 

[kun]

We need to win.

Strong team with some changes. I’d be surprised if McAtee starts.

Ortega
Lewis
Akanji
Dias
Gvardiol
Gündogan
Nunes
Foden
Savinho
Grealish
Haaland

the likes of Haaland, Gvardiol, Savinho off if we’re winning comfortably. McAtee, Aké and KDB (if fit enough) to get some minutes from the bench.

i'd be curious to know if sparta have taken the full allocation for wednesday night? big game for those travelling fans

They're taking a lot, that I know. Having said that my social media is still full of adverts for package deals for the game. The highlight of which is 'a darts tournament in a Manchester pub'. :)

 

[Gray]

We own the copyright for going 1 nil down. However they all want to be us,

Spuds
Villa
Rags
Leicester
Red scouse

All conceded first before winning.

Same on Wednesday for us, I bloody hope not, no more hair to tear out.

Red Scouser’s didn’t.

 

[ESP Blue]

Red Scouser’s didn’t.

Correct, my apologies, the beer was working by then.

 

[aka blue jambo]

Fancy a wee change
Is it easy enough to get City to move us from SS3?
Obviously happy to pay any difference

They're a big fish in a small pond.

5 or 6 for us if we fancy banging some goals in.

I agree, but only in a positive sense, i.e. I'm not reasoning “Oh let's chuck in the no-marks for this one”. I'm not saying that's your reasoning — I hope it's not. I believe that there's a skilful player there, skilful in a way that Phillips clearly was not and was never going to be. I may be wrong, but I don't think he's played a full ninety minutes for us in any match, or if he has, it's one or two. I'd now like to see what this guy is made of, if he gets proper time over a whole match. If he creates nothing, if he contributes nothing, fair enough. Sub him towards the end. But I've actually noticed him doing good things, in flashes, that have gone under the radar with many on this forum. My doubts about him concern his physicality, and his general willingness to mix it, rather than his skill.
Also, given how much we've struggled against teams that we thought we were going to be blowing away recently, I wouldn't be inclined to underestimate this lot. I'm expecting a 2-0 or 3-1 victory, in short, just getting the job done. We want to be well placed in the final table.
