***City vs Leipzig*** Official Match Thread***

[Harry Dowd scored]

I genuinely have no idea what Pep is going to do but he had better fuck off with the Silva at left back idea.put our strongest team out and look to get it done in the first leg

It is a terrible idea at so many levels, WTF is he thinking about, especially when a player like Ake is benched.

Harland at right back, ake up front with Ederson on the wing. He could go with anything! Who knows, can't even start to guess.

Prince Charles on the bench?

[Mase]

Wonder what Borges has to do to get on the bench ahead of these Charles and Robertson characters. Probably deserves to be on the bench ahead of Palmer at the moment.

Decent eleven

[Nick]

Haha who tf are they?

Decent team no defence fuckery

Has Rico dropped off now?

[Beefymcfc]

Do I watch the build-up on BT?

[sheblue]

Fuck me pep must have left the thinking cap at home.

[Beefymcfc]

Probably the best team we could have picked. Maybe Alvarez or Foden but at least we’ve got a back 4.

Gutted I've missed this one

I know

Mentioned this on the EDS thread. The lad scores goals. He might be raw. He might not be ready. But give him a carrot. We might just unearth a talent. It really pains me but it’s one thing they do better than us over at the swamp

[nottsblue]

Do I watch the build-up on BT?

Yes. They are bound to discuss the dippers. Will be funny

Surprisingly weak bench.

Maybe for once Pep has one eye on the upcoming PL fixture. Hope so

Just turned on to see the City build-up and they’re talking about United.

Off until KO.

It would be great to show some kids that if they do well consistently, like Borges, they can be involved in the squad. I’m not saying play, but at least be around the squad if they deserve it.

Fuck knows who these Charles and Robertson guys are.
