So the great chase for Euroglory begins again on Wednesday.
I understand the wish to be better than anyone else in Europe and the consequent praise and envy, not to mention the cash, but sometimes I think that it would be better to win the League and then to tell UEFA that we would rather not bother with their money grabbing competition and let someone else have a go.
Won't happen of course so City are off to Holland on Wednesday night.
Feyenoord are not to be sniffed at. They have a good record on the Eredivisie and also in Europe.
I hope Pep doesn't think he can rest some people and play some fringe players because it will not be that easy. Away goals are crucial. We need to score a few on Wed nesday so that we can ease off a bit at home in a fortnight.

A win would indeed be nice but it's the group stages, away goals aren't applicable yet Bert.

Creeping in.. More like a sprint. :lol:

Sorry mate I couldn't resist it. ;)

I reckon that young bernardo will be a starter for this one.

Ederson trained today but no sign of Kompany.

No Vinny does worry me and i would be surprised if Ederson starts tomorrow.

I think ederson will start.
Vinny is really struggling to get a decent run these days he's like always hanging by a thread with injuries.
We should have got a major center back in.

Seems that the Dutch are a half decent outfit. So maximum effort tonight .

Hes looking good in defence too Bert.
10 minutes to go and it's been a nice comfy evening for us.
Bacon was near in for the fifth then. Really sweet play with the ball..
