Young Boys (A) - Wed 25th Oct, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[Don Karleone]

Looking forward to this. Wanted to see Jack and Jezza play together so I got my wish.

 

[theres only one carlito]

why is haaland never rested? im being serious. young boys is the nearest chance he will get to one until the fa cup

Think young boys at home would be more a time to rest him. Although I think there’s a godchance he gets a hatrick in both games versus YB

 

[Haaland94]

Predictable from Pep. He is giving players who need game-time (for different reasons) a chance and resting some of our most important players. Even Rodri playing is predictable because we want to win :).

 

[Gundoggin]

Plastic pitch yuk !

C’mon City !

He doesn‘t move much anyway until he sprints, fresh as a daisy.

Quite a strong team but apart from Haaland not many goalscorers the likes of Grealish , Nunes , Kovacic have to step up and start creating and scoring but any team with Ederson , Dias , Rodri & Haland in its spine has a great chance. We keep a clean sheet and we will win this comfortably.

Who are the Dippers playing tonight............errr wait a minute :)

I agree. He needs rhythm to build up his confidence to start scoring for fun again. I would play him in all PL & CL games until further notice.

Haaland, Doku, or even Rodri. Who knows, maybe this is the one for Nunes & Kovacic to up their scoring ;)

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue never give in. They fight to the end. Come on City, come on City. Show ‘em lads, show ‘em all. Artificial surface pshawwww, means nothing to our lads. They can outplay anyone even on cobblestones!!
Show ‘em, especially the Specsavers needing stupid old men of the media. Especially the officials who don’t like us beating them. Well bring them on, just bring them on!!

THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.

We need fresh daisy pics or it never happened.

 

[Blue Steel]

Just keep Jack away from the minibar!

Especially as he’s got to pilot the plane home afterwards

 

[Haaland94]

Clearly resting Phillips for Sunday...

Rodri plays today against superior opposition ;).

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

No knee slides tonight lads!

 

[Chi-town blues]

Especially as he’s got to pilot the plane home afterwards

Slight detour and a quick pit stop at ibiza .

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Kind of him to offer my family a lift. :-)

 

[mosssideblue]

Come on lads, get this tie won early

Yeh despite the refreshing optimism on here about the team I’m not 100% sure. Not sure where the creativity is? Hopefully kovotic can thread a few through for big Erl. Otherwise it’s Doku or bust as far as assists go
