Well I'm asking because I haven't seen gladbach but everyone seems happy we got them. Seville can be beaten. I see the hardest one is City.

I'm asking a fucking question and you and The sheriff of Nottingham jumped all over me. Chill the fuck out
Look at who else we could gotten in these pots, seriously go look. Pot 4 have absolute shit/weak teams except a very good german side and a decent one I know little about except they must be weather then the unheard of random village teams. Pot 3 we got hands down the hardest draw, its that simple, EL champions and all around good footballing team. Not as good as us, but they are better then who we could have gotten. Plus it was handed out quite automatically, our name was drawn late every time and we kinda gotten these teams automatically as the only place they could be put. Pretty funny stuff to see live, so couple that together with getting the toughest group, yeah I see the reason for reaction to the challenging draw. Was close to getting Wolfsburgs and it would been the least ideal draw then.

This is the same city who were widely tipped to be also-rans this season and finish 4th at best

Which is why I'd avoid putting two players to him.

Take that risk instead of giving time and space to the players more likely to produce something.
Just give him an empty goal to shoot at, usually solves the sterling issue for most defenses.

Us and City will compete who'll choke more.

Joking aside, our group is very tough but one would expect a CL finalist to progress from it.

Things change. They've been brilliant to start the season. Silva and Aguero are world class and with Yaya and Kompany regaining their best form they have the potential to be one of the best teams in the competition. Pellegrini isn't as naïve this season trying to play 4-4-2. Would've much rather drawn Arsenal or United.

I think this group will be a huge challenge for this team.

Last year we had experienced champions in our squad and still struggled with Greeks. In the end we barely managed to go through.

For some reason the group stage is a great obstacle for us.

A lot will depend on what Marotta does in the last few days of Mercato.

I see some people here already underestimate teams in our group. Hope the players and Allegri wont get complacent, especially in Germany.

A potential KdB signing, Silva, Toure, Aguero, certainly not also rans. More like champions elect to me.

There's no way we should play 3-5-2 against a team that plays 4-2-3-1 especially if they have a stacked team like city.
It may happen with Sandro and Cuadrado, but even if that happens, I don't expect anything good to come from it. We need a fucking AM. And how.
