Young Boys (H) - Tue 7th Nov, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

Don’t think we can win the group this week? Even if we win, we’d need a point from the last two games to guarantee it

Good spot.
We can't win it this week even if we win and RBL lose.
We'd have to lose our next two and they'd have to win theirs and beat us in the head to head (I think!).

The way people suggest resting our key players makes me think we are playing a top side at the weekend.
But when I checked it’s only Chelsea.
With 5 days between the games.

Chance to rotate some of the lads in who didn't start Saturday.

Ortega
Rico
Dias
Gvardiol
Gomez
Phillips
Nunes
Bobb
Foden
Grealish
Alvarez

Should be enough to see these off comfortably!

Gomez was apparently on crutches on Saturday.

 

[Heath Park]

I think if we rest Rodri then you've got to play John Stones. One of those two needs to be an ever present in the starting 11...

 

[buckshot]

This is a match for Phillips imo. They have to come up with a way to play well with him in the side so if (God forbid) something happens to Rodri it won't be such a shock to their system.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

COME ON CITY !!

 

[Ric]

Think we'll see some rotation with the game against Chelsea at the weekend, even with five days to recover. This is the team I'd like to see. Bit of a risk not starting either Rodri or Stones, but I'd prefer to keep them fresh for bigger challenges ahead.

Ederson
Lewis
Akanji
Dias
Gvardiol
Kovacic
Nunes
Foden
Grealish
Doku
Alvarez

hopefully we can get a big lead by half time and start resting players by the 60th minute

Rest Rodri, Stones and Walker for this one.

Didn't Stones & Rodri get substituted on 70 mins vs B'mouth, so already rested in my view.
