***bayern v city official match thread***

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Not a confident line up for me.

These players have not had a lot of game time together and to put them together against a team like Bayern is asking for trouble.

I can only see us sitting deep and trying to score on the counter through Navas, Silva and dare I say it, Dzeko.

Could be a big score this unless Bayern send out an under-strength side out as well.

That's exactly how we should play against Bayern even with "full " team

Agree. Last game we got picked to pieces because we were a man (or two) short in midfield. We look to have lined up in the correct formation, I'm just nervous about the players in there. But always open to good surprises!

Yeah still at least one short with Garcia in there.

I hope Hart will have a good game, I really want him back for Saturday.

that makes one of us.

Anything less than a three goal defeat will be a good result tonight. Still, stranger things have happened

[Ted Hughes]

Bayern only have one more league fixture then some crappy cup thing & then are on holiday for a month, so they can afford to put a strong side out.

[Hutch's Shoulder]

Anything less than a three goal defeat will be a good result tonight. Still, stranger things have happened

Two - nil defeat then go on to win the PL like last time?

Tevez isn't around though :D.

Garcia Vs Goetze

Haha fucking hell

[Hutch's Shoulder]

Tevez isn't around though :D.

Wherever he is, he is still refusing to come on for us tonight I'm sure !

Will take that like Lionel Ritchie

[Dwaring]

Bayern playing with their strongest 11, with the exception of injured Robben and Schweinsteiger.

Not in the face pep! Not in the face!

[Saul Goodman]

Decent lineup, pretty much as expected. Great to Silva back.

Bayern are basically full strength so this will be tough. I'm glad we went with a 5 man midfield to combat Guardiola's system

[nottsblue]

Not in the face pep! Not in the face!

They'll take pity after 3

Think Joe will have good game tonight by the way

[DoomMerchant]

Garcia Vs Goetze

Haha fucking hell

i'd rather see Garcia vs Goatse tbf.

cheers

[dikdok]

Plenty of practice one assumes for England's number one.

[Saul Goodman]

This will be a good litmus test for Hart. Sure, Vinnie isn't in front of him and Garcia is in there but the rest of the defense is basically first string.

Frankly, I see Bayern scoring 4

[ruralblue]

Jesus were either going to get battered or pull off the biggest surprise yet!!!!!!

[Pretty Boy Lee]

1st time in years I've fully expected a loss. Still c'mon city

[carl_feedthegoat]

Lescott......that is all.

[MilnersJaw]

Haha Haha what da fuck was that defending.


Dzeko solo up front though that worries me. You need some one to graft, he doesn't.
