Non LFC Cl Ro16 2and legs

Typical CL draw. City get a relatively easy tie - Dortmund are absolutely nothing. Chelsea get Porto - decent but very beatable. And Bayern and PSG are pitted together to get rid of one of the best 2 teams in town right now and we get the most decorated club on the planet.

It will be very tough to stop Zizou finding ways to hurt our makeshift back line.

Dortmund are exactly the type of side they have a habit of crashing out to, some great forwards, especially Haaland, but the rest of the side not at the same level, like Lyon last season and Spurs the season before

Also, Dortmund score goals, if they get a couple of early goals as they have a habit of doing, given City's inability to ever get past the quarters, City might well bottle it like normal

Apparently the Arsenal game has been moved back to the Saturday. Theres some common sense after all.

Fair comment. Though, if Haaland has a night where he is on it and Dortmund are on it as a collective unit, they might conjure something up.

City have had one or two injuries at a time for almost the entire season, they have a ridiculous squad and are simply benefitting from practically all other teams who have injuries or don't have the luxury of being able to rotate being well WELL below their normal levels

* Required this season, next season, when the so called lesser sides have the usual amount of rest and time to work on things ahead of each next game and when other top sides like our lads are back at full strength and have bolstered their squad a little in term of the first team and strength in depth is when we'll actually see if there is genuine improvement in either filthy side, Leicester or Chelsea
