Real Madrid (A) - Tues 9th April, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

i expect kova to start to help rodders

Which one of Kev, Foden, Bernie, Grealish do you think misses out?

If I had to pick one I'd guess KDB, but feels criminal given his performance at the weekend and heroics last year away to Madrid.

 

[No1 was Colin bell]

Why does a football ground in Madrid need a roof? It's not exactly Manchester or Seattle! They'll be shovin' a roof on a bullring next!

And if we are up in the gods again might be able to hear the few thousand blue boys cheering us on better?

 

[PPT]

Cunts the lot of them, we’re the only team where the English press support the opposition

They are so blatant its untrue. They are begging for us to get knocked out.
Then they can focus on the 'wunderkids' of Arsenal. I'll piss myself, if Bayern
do us all a favour and see them off.

Who is the Ref tonight? Anyone know?

It's a french crew, IIRC.

I think Kev, too. I'd love to see our lineup like this:

Ederson
Akanji Stones Dias Lewis
Rodri Bernardo
Bobb Foden Grealish
Haaland​

Gigs and other events can be held there in winter now comfortably as well.

Seems daft to be honest to build a brand new stadium and not include a roof at time of construction now.

Who is the Ref tonight? Anyone know?

He's the referee who was in charge of City v Sevilla Super Cup Final.

Haven't a clue who is he...

They will be fresher so it`s more likely we will struggle from 60/70 min. onwards. Wouldn`t start Grealish because 240-270 min. in 7 Days are atm too much for him (reinjury risk). I expect the left side with Mendy/Camav./Vini will be more dangerous & we need Pace on our right side. Nunes with his pace/phy. strength would be a better option as a WB than Bernardo/injured Gvardiol but I would prefer Rico because he has more experience in this position.

Weak links in this Madrid side are the lack of pace from Carvajal & Kross/Modric & perhaps the offensive game on their right side.

Draw would be fine but even a two goal loss wouldn`t be the end of the world.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

From a playing perspective, would have thought a closed roof suits us anyway - perfect conditions to zip the ball around.

Bobb instead of Kev ?
Brave

 

[69FACUPfinal]

You love a lazy cliche when I comes to Haaland don’t you.

I don't comment about EH that often tbh, but I would like to see more from him at times. I guess I am pining for Sergio.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Yeah, never steps up in big games, does he?

Just the 2 goals against Arsenal last season, the 2 goals vs Bayern Munich in the Champions League QF and the 5 goals against Leipzig, the 6 goals against United, the 2 goals against Liverpool? He was literally a Courtois fingernail away from netting in the Champions League SF as well.

Stupid stupid stupid opinion.

Remind me to look out for your opinions.

 

[minimalistic]

Come on City. Will settle for a boring 0:0 today.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Bobb instead of Kev ?
Brave

I think he's ready. I only say no, Kev, because he played 90 minutes a couple of days ago.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

No. I want this one more than the league. Our injuries are making me nervous.

Same here regarding injuries. I wasn't at all worried when the draw was made, apart from usual peed off that we never get 'easy' at this stage. However injuries to Kyle and Nathan majorly concern me.

Ha Ha Nunes with his physical strength. Good one.

I feel less nervous when Ortega is in goal.
