Real Madrid (H) - Tues 11th Feb, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

Bizarre starting XI tonight. No idea what formation.

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

Stones in midfield, Akanji RB?

Surprised Grealish is starting, considering he's only had starts against FA Cup fodder.

 

[Goater101]

he's played 3 days ago and was MOTM!

Haha yeah… Leyton Orient

 

[Claytop]

That’s an understandable line up if the first leg was in Madrid.

 

[YatesA]

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

Every single one has to be launched in the box doesn't it

 

[Don Karleone]

Enough there to get a result

Well I guess that's why pep gets the big bucks, as not another soul on this planet would have picked that team, just have to hope he's got it right

Thinking about their bookings maybe??

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Getting the kind of build up of a final this.

Not on here. You’d think we were Curzon Ashton playing Brazil to read the negative shite on this thread. Can only imagine the match thread will be even more poisonous than usual…..

 

[TinFoilHat]

This is your chance Jackie. Grab it by the bollocks mate.

 

[.db.]

Is Pep showing off that we’ve got centre backs and they haven’t?

They are starting 0 CBs, we are starting 5!

 

[Claytop]

No Foden at all

 

[OntarioBlue]

Did Pep forget that we need a midfield ?

 

[samuelyeboah]

i must be the only one here MORE confident seeing the starting 11 than I was before

 

[stonerblue]

Best I've ever seen us play, unreal!!!

Left me speechless for a good 5 minutes that night

Back 3 maybe with stones Bernardo mid

 

[Bluewonder]

Shocking team selection

 

[Fordyboy46]

Fuck me

 

[richards30]

Pep seems to have wimped out unfortunately

 

[Micky Blue]

I’d stick Gvardiol up top with his attacking prowess.
Him and Haaland would bully Madrid’s makeshift defence.
