Cl pre match thread

Postby nottsblue » Tue Feb 25, 2020 5:47 pm

So, our first CL game since the cartel imposed their punishment. How do we think it will go? Will it make a difference?
We are favourites to go through which surprised me a little. Sooner win on Sunday myself but I know it's not the clubs priority.

Laporte back is a big plus though and I can see us going 3 at the back. Maybe one of Sane or Sterling on the bench as well

Real Madrid an incredible 2/1 to win at home ? UEFA won’t let us get a result in the Bernabeu. Pep fucking hates Madrid more then City fans hate the bin dippers , makes for an interesting evening.

I might be wrong. But I just cant see UEFA tolerating us progressing to the semis.
It probably wont matter a tit what team we play.

Going to be interesting to see how Pep sets us up for this match. No more brain-fart selections please. Unfortunately, I doubt it will matter as UEFA will want us done and dusted as soon as possible. I've given my ticket and travel up for this now, makes me feel sick to the stomach how we have been treated

We don't how much the legal team and the City management have on UEFA. So there is every chance the act neutral .

We will get extra bebt decisions which shouldn't really be possible.

I'm pissed he has no settled team before this game.

He should have been playing dinho in midfield and laporte and otta at the back.

Whole team is a mystery and tgats without peps usual big game brain fuck

Agree on him not having a settled team and there was no excuse seeing as we are challenging for sweet fuckall as far as the Prem is concerned.

I just cannot see us beating RM as our defense is still shaky (If it wasn't for shit finishing we would have conceded the last 2 games) and we cannot finish our chances.

A draw is our best scenario IMO.
