Very good. They beat Lazio 4-1 away at the weekend. Historically a small club, but arguably second only to Juventus in Italy.

They were unlucky not to win Seria A last season. Very similar to us, crazy press and fast footy.

 

Before lockdown they were flying. Weren't the same after lockdown. They should have beaten Juve at Juve but condeeded the dumbest penalty ever in the last seconds.

 

 

Have started this season like they did last season.

 

They do conceed a few though.

[Jordy Brouwer]

Well shit, seems like we are getting a somewhat shitty end of this here stick. 

[Posterguy]

Atalanta is a great team going forward.  They're a great watch, but they aren't great at the back and their #1 GK is currently injured, not sure how long he's out tho.  Very good wingbacks despite selling Castagne to Leicester.  Gosens and Hateboer are now Germany and Dutch internationals.

 

They're probably the best team to watch in Seria A and Pupu Gomez is the fucking man.  

[John102]

Fancy us to beat both. Could have been easier obviously, however, we have some good fortune in the past, so won't complain too much.

I cant watch it anymore...such a load of BS

[Davelfc]

Have they mentioned city cheating and only getting off on a technicality yet?

[Jordy Brouwer]

Group F is really really easy.

That makes two of us!

[Megadrive Man]

FC Midtyjland complete our group. 

[Harry Squatter]

Mitjyland 

[Jordy Brouwer]

Could be better could be worse. Overall I mean. 

[Chocoholic]

MIDGETLAND!!!!!

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Get the tall players on stand by. We're off to Midget Land. 

[Megadrive Man]

Three teams we've never played before in a competitive game in my lifetime. 

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

FC Midtjylland. Know fuck all about them. 

 

I love bacon though.

[Tarwater]

Good. Easier travel to Denmark than Moscow or Turkey.

[Jordy Brouwer]

To be honest its slightly worse than average.

Agree -- Ajax were one of the weakest sides in Pot 2, Atalanta probably one of the strongest in 3

Shaqiri will be a giant among men

[Megadrive Man]

United with the hardest draw of the English teams. Playing in Turkey will probably be a lot less daunting this year with no fans though?

[coachpotato]

Have City been given their usual bye yet?

[Scott_M]

Cannot complain at that. Win our home games, beat Midtjyllans twice, pick up another point at Ajax or Atalanta and that’ll be enough. 
 

Would have loved to have gone to Ajax & Midtjyllans, will they move the game to Copenhagen?

 

Remever saying in here last year that when they announced to knock down the San Siro, I’d defintely go for a last trip. Assume Atalanta will be playing there again this season.
