disappointing to say the least . I hope Akanji is wide awake tonight !

Grealish in to rack up the Madrid yellows

In one.

 

[deano ou812]

We’ll get overrun and those twats up front will have a field day especially the frog ..

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Which will be more entertaining the match itself or the match thread

 

[YatesA]

Grealish in to rack up the Madrid yellows

Exactly what I'm thinking. They either foul him or let him stroll by, he's too good at going at his own pace and inviting fouls

 

[GaudinoMotors]

I know he's well out favour, but Pep well and truly hanging Grealish, and Savinho, for that matter, out to dry

 

[YatesA]

Grealish hasn’t played for fucking months and he starts tonight. Unbelievable.

Has to be to draw fouls and get players booked

 

[Vester]

I have no problem with tonights XI. We have been awful for months and might have to try something different to avoid another embarrassment and get the result needed.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Looks like we’re playing for a 0-2 defeat.

 

[citytill1die84]

Our starting 11 looks like it'll be hard to beat. Let's fucking hope so.

Grealish hasn’t played for fucking months and he starts tonight. Unbelievable.

Keeping the ball and drawing fouls might be seriously important tonight. We have the taller players by far.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Getting the kind of build up of a final this.

Our starting 11 looks like it'll be hard to beat. Let's fucking hope so.

2 years ago it would have been

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Bizarre starting XI tonight. No idea what formation.

Ederson, Dias, Stones, Ake, Gvardiol, Akanji, Bernardo, Grealish, De Bruyne, Savio, Haaland

5 centre backs and Haaland and we'll still fuck up the attacking corners.

View attachment 146398why are people losing it? this is a completely fine formation. in fact I quite like it? what am i missing about the huge meltdown lmao

When did all them sign for Arsenal?

 

[Claytop]

Ugh, not the most attacking line up…

 

[bigstanhibbert]

Did the shaved monkey just say Haaland hasn't won the CL?

 

[sh249]

Keeping the ball and drawing fouls might be seriously important tonight. We have the taller players by far.

Might be a good night for De Bruyne to remember how to take a corner/free kick …

 

[Dax777]

Grealish not good enough for Pep to start for months but now starts randomly vs Real Madrid.

No Kovacic, Gundogan or Nico in holding - wat?

Gundo, is understandable, Fonzo probably not healthy enough.

Ederson
Akanji.... Dias...Ake... Gvardiol
...........Stones...Bernardo.......
......Savio......Kevin.......Grealish....
...............,.......Haaland.............


Don't t like it, but looks like Pep fidgeting before a big game again.

Bizarre starting XI tonight. No idea what formation.

Ederson, Dias, Stones, Ake, Gvardiol, Akanji, Bernardo, Grealish, De Bruyne, Savio, Haaland

That cannot be tge team shirlley?

Akanji as DM? or Stones

either way we are gonna be slow and plodding with that line upand weak in the centre circle
