Well actions speak louder than words. Pep wouldn’t intentionally hurt his own chances. Bernardo has played in RW, LW, central midfield and the rest. Foden is similar but Grealish is not even being played at RW. Pep is usually very gracious in his words to everybody but when you want to know who...

They were poor by their usual standards but the difference between him and the two players you mention is this: Phil was a victim of the conundrum of having two of our best 10s in the same line up hence he had to go wide. Bernardo on the other hand had to do more of the midfield grafting rather...

Needs to improve his stamina and decision making but I wouldn’t beat the 21 year old too much who is in his first season here but he is the main reason why we came out of this contest with our heads held high before the whole world in my opinion.

If he does well in any game at all I’d praise him no end. It’s just me applying cold objectivity. See he faced an old man in defense and we could hardly get take ons and good deliveries. It was all neat passing sideways. Let’s not get fooled that we battered RM. That’s what they wanted. They...

He tried and I appreciate him for his work but let’s be very honest here. We aren’t winning that treble with a misfiring Haaland and this season has proven it. The reason why we are the best club in the world is that we don’t rest on our oars. As great as Aguero was, when it was time to move on...

Bombarded them? We had no teeth while he was on. If I have Grealish and Foden in a match where I’m looking for an all important goal, I know who I’d keep. It’s a different story if my team is one up. When thr young lad came in, they started to defend. Whilst he was on, they were happy to see us...

If you’re not getting last season’s version of Haaland, the wide players have got to step in. I would have been mad at Haaland today but he showed that even in his worst, his presence places a holy fear in defenders which other players can capitalize on. Grealish has got to do much more for a...

No he was up against the old defender plus two guys in the man’s support and he produced the goods as against Grealish who just kept things tidy all day. As the result showed at the end, we needed more than tidiness to get through.

Held the ball well but we needed that spark and let’s be frank we could play another 40 mins, Jack is not that guy I’d rely on to make the difference.

Problem is if he continued to hold and hold like everyone else was doing, the time would tick and RM are the masters of the dark arts. Someone needed to take those risks ehich would definitely lead to lost possession.

I’ll say it again and again. The loss to Madrid was just as fair as our treatment of the guy that changed the game. Serves you right.

No the reason why he was against threee men atimes was because he is very direct as against your faves that just pass it around all day. The Madrid defenders are back all day long. The clearest chances came from him and all this tippy-tappy your faves were doing was leading us no where. What did...

It’s funny how that many fans didn’t warm up to “Cold” Palmer for some strange reason but I recall that every time I saw him, I could easily tell that he was going to an elite player. I wish he leaves this club and goes somewhere where he is valued more. After that performance you get just a...

Didn’t see the stats but I’ll like you to compare with other players who were passing it around for 70 odd minutes and the gate of madrids defense seemed like it would not be opened even if they played another 50 minutes. Mind you he wasn’t only taking Cavarjal on, thee were times he had to do...

He is the reason why we didn’t lose at 90 minutes. Shame as he can hardly create and score at the same time. Even the chance that King Kev could have used to win the match for us came from him.

Real got more and more organized at the back as the half wore on but Doku’s introduction changed the momentum of clear cut chances in our favour. Shame it didn’t work out at the end but anyone saying that we could get anything without that substitution must be deceiving him or herself.

I think you’re correct. Not sure the gaffer would want to risk playing KDB and Foden together in central positions. Foden on the wing will more appropriate but he would drift to the center from time to time.

I reckon that this is how we’d line up; I expect that Ederson will start against Madrid then two of Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol will start then Debryune and Haaland will also start so this is a very sensible line up. Ederson Akanji Dias Gvardiol Lewis Kovacic Doku De Bruyne Alvarez Nunes Haaland

Starting eleven for easy games (Akanji as the utility man in defense): Ederson Kimmich* Dias Stones Gvardiol Rodri Savio* Foden Musiala* Grealish Haaland Starting eleven for tougher ones: Ederson Walker Dias Stones Gvardiol Kimmich Rodri Foden Musiala Grealish Haaland

Anyone knows the state of his recovery? Is there any chance he could make the second leg?
