Real Madrid (A) - Wed 19th Feb, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

We need to be strong at the back tonight. A back 10 and counter attacking football is what these cunts will be doing.

yeah, solid back four and no pissing about.

If they are maybe it's pep prioritising the league??

I dont think so, i think its just his MO. He puts a lot of importance on what players have done for him in the past and how he thinks they can handle the occasion.

City wins this 3-1, because we still can't keep a clean sheet.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Fuck it. We’ll probably go out, may as well go down fighting.

All out attack, if we lose 7-4 so what? Fucking go at them like rabid dogs from minute one, ball into the box like 80s Crazy Gang Wimbledon. Fight. Foul, wind up with verbals.

COME ON CITY!!!!

Except in our last game you mean?

Overfilling a high performance car with oil can cause serious damage (:, notably reduced horsepower

Is there anyone with a high performance car who isn't having that car serviced professionally?

I guess the analogy there that you were obviously getting at is maybe Bernie has high performance pedigree and maybe Pep - the qualified professional- has done a typical Pep- over thought and oiled that engine too many times.

Well played!

Madrid's team is out.

Rudiger in.
Tchouameni pushed into midfield.
Camavinga dropped.

i get camavinga and tchouameni mixed up so means nothing to me

The last 3 months is also in the past - let's hope he takes notice of it.
So was Saturday, come to that...

camavinga is the one who looks like Jar-Jar Binks' lovechild...

What channels is it on later.
Other than tnt .
Not listening to any of those twats

I fear it’s the horror channel!

Oh Vienna

Too good (:

 

[stonerblue]

Thanks for the info gives me a little more confidence if Nico can marshal things.
Only negative is Rudiger is back for them.
2-1 City then God knows what happens. CTID

Kev to twat him.

 

[citymad]

Gundo, Kovacic, Silva, KDB. Pick one only.

I'm expecting Pep to overthink this and pick all but 1....

That’s my fear. There’s literally no evidence from this season that combination has been effective. I fear this could be like the Chelsea CL final fiasco.

They had a behind the scenes look at TNT earlier on. Impartial as always.

Hopefully someone can help me out with this. I will be in the dentist chair at gametime and need a way to listen on radio in the States. Please help. Thanks.

Hold them 0-0 until the 86 minute. Franco's whites will think they're home and dry. The Viking Marmoush latches on to 2 inch perfect passes from Ederson and, job done. Let's see how they like it?

C'mon City.

 

[MCFC1993]

No Haaland.

Possession will be key then.

As I said, no hope or expectation, just give a good account.
