Paris Saint-Germain (H) - CL SF | Pre-Match Thread

Rodri has been shaky in early parts of games when put under constant pressure. Start Fern for the calmness and the counter attack stopping, swap him for Rodri later if he picks up a yellow and the game has slowed down

Yeah rumours of Fernandinho starting ahead of Rodri my son text me earlier mentioned this,my only concern is Rodri is fantastic at defending at set pieces which is actually how they scored last week ( well a corner)..

Fern is as good as Rodri in the air, that shouldnt be an issue.

I know mate, chill.

I’m chilled pal, i’m happy with either.

You'll be very hard pressed to find someone as good in the air as Dinho is at his size.

An old Blue phoned me today to say it was 60 years ago to the day when The Marcels released 'Blue Moon'..

Feb 1961 ..

I would be very surprised if Rodri didn't start this one

 

[bluemoon32]

Just think lads, if we lose this we'll have to settle for a Premier League title and League Cup double. That would be shocking.

We've had a fantastic season no matter what but.............adding a CL win would make this our best ever season & really boil the piss of the red shite x 2

What a good month that was

I certainly hope he starts. Calming influence, reads the game well, retains possession very well, though sometimes takes him a few mins to get up to speed as he can tend to want too much time on the ball in the early stages of a game. His passing is very good which helps to wear the opposition down.

That's true, but Rodri's very good and a big lad to boot. Fernandinho may be better in a pound for pound sense but he can't do what Rodri can do because of the height difference.

But Fernandinho is in no way a bad option, that's for sure.

to get into the final is huge for city.
win it for sheikh mansour blues

Win it for all the missing family members and friends who would have loved to see this day.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Zinny & Ferna for Rodri & Joao reduces actual height but not aerial ability, in terms of retaining possession it improves, decision making also, so if Pep goes with that no complaints from me, I just don’t want him to play Rodri & Ferna instead of either Bernie or Gundy

 

[MillisleBlue]

Fairly certain I haven't consumed any of the raw materials but am shitting bricks at the moment.

COME ON YOU BLUES...!

Don’t you start kicking doors down at the Etihad

 

[Amadeus71]

Give me a fucking boring 0:0 draw,no shots on goal,no corners and please no injuries....

 

[jimharri]

Give me a fucking boring 0:0 draw,no shots on goal,no corners and please no injuries....

Amen to that.

 

[I'm Blue]

I’ve tried to avoid it today.
Getting nervous now.
A win or a draw will do.

 

[Sparkys-Army]

Hope they don't get any corners [emoji120][emoji33]

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Channel Colin the King - he would be loving this right now!
