Know The Opposition

Football Club Copenhagen (Danish: Football Club København), commonly known as FC København, FC Copenhagen, Copenhagen or simply FCK, is a professional Danish football club in Copenhagen, Denmark. Football Club Copenhagen is, in many ways, both an old and a new club. Even though the club was established in 1992, it is rooted in more than 100 years of club tradition. The club's first team represents two separate clubs: Kjøbenhavns Boldklub (continental Europe's oldest football club) founded in 1876 and Boldklubben 1903 founded in 1903. The two Copenhagen clubs merged their first teams to found Copenhagen on 1 July 1992.

F.C. Copenhagen has won 15 Danish Football Championships and 9 Danish Cups. In European football F.C. Copenhagen has reached the group stage of the UEFA Champions League and the group stage of the UEFA Europa League more times than any other Danish club and are the only Danish club who has reached the knockout stage of the Champions League. As of August 2020, Copenhagen are the highest ranked Scandinavian club in the UEFA club coefficient rankings list.

Since their foundation, FCK have developed a fierce rivalry with Brøndby IF. The Copenhagen Derby games between the two sides have attracted some of the biggest crowds in Danish football history. Copenhagen plays its matches at the Telia Parken, which also serves as the venue for the Danish national football team's matches.

Familiar Faces

N/A.​

 

[horsechoker]

Start Pellestri or Mount at RW.

 

[spiriticon]

0-1.

Let's creep our way to the CL knockout stages

 

[Ayoba]

1-0 copenhagen. Brown og, 90.

 

[ColvaleGoa]

We gonna smash these cnuts 0-1.

 

[BorisManUtd]

You'd expect Bayern to beat Galatasaray at home so if we can beat Copenhagen we'll move to 2nd place with 6 points, 2 more than Turkish side. Then a game between them and us in Istanbul would be huge and we'd at least have to avoid defeat otherwise the situation becomes really complicated.

Hope we can win this but even if we do it probably won't be more than a 1-0/2-1 as always.

 

[Highfather_24]

-----------------Onana
AWB--Varane--Maguire--Dalot
---------------Amrabat
---------Bruno-------Mount
Pellistri-----Hojlund---Garnacho

 

[Ballache]

Probably same as today but with Dalot at RB and Reguilion at LB because it's probably too early for AWB to play twice a week.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Onana
Wan-Bissaka Varane Maguire Reguillon
Amrabat
Fernandes Mount
Pellistri Martial Garnacho​

 

[Bwuk]

Onana
AWB - Varane - Maguire - Regulion
McTominay - Hannibal
Pellistri - Bruno - Garnacho
Hojlund​

 

[BootsyCollins]

Onana
AWB-Varane-Harry-Regu
McT-Amrabat
Pellistri-Bruno-Garnacho
Højlund

 

[OrcaFat]

Start Pellestri or Mount at RW.

If that’s the choice then Pellistri, surely?

 

[OrcaFat]

Onana
AWB-Varane-Harry-Regu
McT-Amrabat
Pellistri-Bruno-Garnacho
Højlund

I’d play this but with Hannibal in place of McT.

 

[Robbie Boy]

I think we'll win; but it certainly won't be pretty.

 

[OrcaFat]

Onana
Wan-Bissaka Varane Maguire Reguillon
Amrabat
Fernandes Mount
Pellistri Martial Garnacho​

I wouldn’t complain if this was the team.

 

[red_de_pologne]

Expecting this line up:

Onana
AWB Varane Lindelof Reguilon
Amrabat
Bruno McTominay
Pellistri Hojlund Rashford

​

 

[Borussia Teeth]

Onana
AWB - Varane - Maguire - Regulion
McTominay - Hannibal
Pellistri - Bruno - Garnacho
Hojlund​

This is what I want to see

 

[Livewire1974]

Biggest game we have had for many years, it will define ETH.

Hopefully Antony dropped and we see a functional midfield.

Suspect he will scrape through.

 

[Todd]

This is the match where we need all 3 points, more than any other. Bayern will surely do Gala once again.

If we win this, I think we can shithouse a draw in Turkey, and then you figure that Bayern will come to Old Trafford with basically nothing to play for as they'll have the group sewn up already, and maybe they'll rest half their stars and we'll avoid defeat and get through.

Onana

AWB
Maguire
Lindelof
Reguilon

Amrabat
Eriksen

Mount
Bruno
Rashford

Hojlund

 

[Buster15]

I think we'll win; but it certainly won't be pretty.

Doesn't need to be.
All that counts is to get a win.
Anything else would be a bonus.

 

[redshaw]

How will Hag cope against Copenhagen?

 

[Robbie Boy]

Doesn't need to be.
All that counts is to get a win.
Anything else would be a bonus.

Indeed. Win the next 2 and that's 3 wins on the bounce going into the international break. We will have some players back at that point so hopefully onwards and upwards.

 

[Norris Cole]

Think ETH has the backing of the majority of matchgoing / domestic fans.

That will all change if Antony plays again imo

 

[friendlytramp]

Amrabat
Hannibal Mount
Pellistri Hojlund Garnacho

 

[Unam333]

Amrabat
Hannibal Mount
Pellistri Hojlund Garnacho

At first, I was quite confused why you posted random names.
Then I looked closer and figured that's your front three and midfield for Wednesday night game.

 

[Buster15]

Indeed. Win the next 2 and that's 3 wins on the bounce going into the international break. We will have some players back at that point so hopefully onwards and upwards.

Certainly hope so.

 

[RedUnited86]

Win here and wouldn't put it past us to come back from Denmark with 3 points

 

[Still ill]

Biggest game we have had for many years,

??

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Win here and wouldn't put it past us to come back from Denmark with 3 points

 

[Levenstein]

Amrabat
Hannibal Mount
Pellistri Hojlund Garnacho

Surely Ten Hag is not gonna drop Bruno after praising him.

Onana
AWB Varane Harry Dalot
Amrabat Bruno Eriksen
Pellistri Martial Garnacho

 

[Giggsy13]

Amrabat
Hannibal Mount
Pellistri Hojlund Garnacho

It’s a must win, Bruno will definitely start.

 

[Hester_manc]

It will end 1-1. They are a better team than Fulham.

.............Onana..........

AWB..Maguire.Evans.Reguilon

...........Casemiro.McT...............
...................Bruno...................

[NZT-One]

Win here and wouldn't put it past us to come back from Denmark with 3 points

Yeah, two entirely separate events that but lets hope, it works out

 

[Guapa]

Just fecking win already.

 

[VP89]

Win here and wouldn't put it past us to come back from Denmark with 3 points

 

[red_de_pologne]

It will end 1-1. They are a better team than Fulham.

.............Onana..........

AWB..Maguire.Evans.Reguilon

...........Casemiro.McT...............
...................Bruno...................
Rashford............................Garnacho
.....................Højlund.........................

Would be a good line up, if Casemiro wan't OUT FOR 2 MONTHS

 

[always_hoping]

Copenhagen 4-2 winners this afternoon left their captain Claesson on the bench as was Goncalves who started in Old Trafford

Elyounoussi didn't feature, injured or rested?

 

[Dempsey19]

It will end 1-1. They are a better team than Fulham.

.............Onana..........

AWB..Maguire.Evans.Reguilon

...........Casemiro.McT...............
...................Bruno...................
Rashford............................Garnacho
.....................Højlund.........................

Why not throw Martinez/Shaw/Amad in there too while you're at it
