I don’t think that’s right. If he was only 17 you’d think someone would have mentioned it

The new Dave Whelan’s broken leg mantra.

In 10 years time, they’ll still have the “once 17-year old Jude Bellingham” playing professional football.

 

[Georgian Maestro]

Ederson, Walker, Dias, Stones, Bernardo, Gundogan, Rodri, Foden and Mahrez have to start IMO. That leaves the choice of Jesus/KDB for the role up top and Cancelo/Zinchenko at LB. I'd go KDB and Zinchenko personally.

You think there's a possibility he leaves KDB out for this?

 

[vmsuhail]

foden,kdb and mahrez sure.

bernardo or sterling.

i think pep go with sterling this time.

So just like last year when Bernardo was sat on the bench and Sterling played a shocker.

Didn't he get sent off at the weekend? Could he be the youngest player ever to get a red card?

 

[Tourist since 1971]

Two decisions to make: Cancelo or Zin at LB and Stones or Laporte. Other than that team picks itself.

Have you met our manager?
I am terrified of his selection for this game. Don’t over think it Pep.
I am hoping for a high energy, Real Madrid away performance, not a Lyons’why has Pep got me standing here?’ one.

 

[Cotton Weave Blue]

Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Zinchenko
Gundogan Rodri Bernardo
Mahrez KDB Foden​

 

[Dobsy]

I expect same team as at the weekend.

Shitting myself about this game, very exciting.

Oooooo was it a straight red? That won’t help Dortmund’s push for top 4.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

Front 6 picks itself no question with Rodri, Gundo Bernardo,KDB Foden Mahrez. Back four is where I’m not sure

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

Surely he goes with the tried and tested? Anything else and he's over thinking it.

Ederson
Walker
Zincenko
Dias
Stones
Rodri
Gundo
Silva
KDB
Foden
Mahrez

There is only one position that could possibly up for debate and that's stones.

 

[Claytop]

I can't see past a 0-2 win for us in Paris
1-0 win at the Etihad

Ok who's hacked Ak's account?

 

[northstandgiveusasong]

i noticed something about psg playing at home, they seem to struggle against 3-4-3, 3-5-2 formations. i wouldnt recommend it for city as they are not well drilled at those but it wouldnt shock me to see something like

ederson
laporte
dias
stones

cancelo
rodri
gundogan
bernardo
walker

foden and de bruyne.

just an heads up

Or down with a shake right and left. ;)

Did Dave Whelan break his leg? Never knew that

This.

no doubts about John. We need his speed in this game.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Gonna be a tough game, but if we can come away with the minimum of 1 away goal and keep their attack shut out. I watched PSG at the weekend and they are always looking to exploit the opposition defence with Mbappe's speed.

Long ball over the top - this is what they will try and achieve to counter our press up front

Easy to say, harder to do no doubt, but our defence just needs to be wary of this threat and not play too much of a high line and everyone will have to play their part to the max when we dont have the ball

 

[jaiguruKun]

I'm strangely laid back about this tie. Lovely position to be in, one trophy in the bag another virtually assured. Whatever happens the season has been a success as far as I'm concerned. I'm really looking forward to watching a great match tomorrow between two elite teams. I don"t think I'll be disappointed.

Kaz got Covid too

Well Ferdinand has predicted PSG will win the trophy this season, time for you to shut the prick up please City

Would be hard to keep that camel gob closed.
