Real Madrid (A) - Wed 10th Dec, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[ninjamonkey]

Militao off injured to add to their lengthy defensive injury list, they'll be fielding a very makeshift defence, rudiger and huijsen may be rushed back not fully fit. If there is ever a time to beat them its now. Doku should have a field day with them having no recognised right back. Haaland will feast IF we feed him.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Twatted 0-2 at the Bernebau by Celta Vigo. 2 players and a coach sent off, 1 for gobbing off to a haughty ref. Bellingham bloodied and looking miserable. They looked a shambles. Militao off injured as well. Let's do them.

This is the worst Madrid team I think we will have faced during our time in the CL.

I don't think they have had a team look this poor probably since Schuster and Juande Ramos.

Bored playing Real Madrid? You pillock. 15 years ago we didn’t have a hope of playing in these kind of fixtures

Not everyone loves this competition.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Would have been able to rotate if he hadn’t fucked about so much for Leverkusen.

You just know that no matter how poor Real look at present, they'll find another couple of gears to go up on Wednesday night. We should be scoring past them at least with Militao now injured, that means dirty bastard Rudiger will start

All a big if. Agreed though, their defence on Wednesday night is there to be got at. Could be a high scoring game

I'm totally up for Keeganball on Wednesday

 

[Ric]

Agreed, we should be on the front foot from the off. No point in trying to contain them, as our defence will probably struggle. Reijnders had a great game at the Bernabeu for Milan last season, so I'd bring him back in and would be tempted to add Khusanov to the backline to help cope with the pace of Mbappe and Vinicus Jr.

Donnarumma
Khusanov
Dias
Gvardiol
O'Reilly
Gonzalez
Reijnders
Foden
Cherki
Doku
Haaland

dirty bastard Rudiger

Will never forgive him for the assault on Kev

Would be more than happy with that.

Red Card all day long

Wouldn't it be nice to get a referee like they had last night; one who won't put up with their bullshit.

 

[MCFC1993]

It wasn't good at the time and it doesn't sit well now but we might look back on that Leverkusen performance as a bit of a game changer this season.

1) I think it was a bit of a penny dropped moment for Pep and the coaches on who can be trusted.
2) We almost certainly look like we'll spend in January.

It's Clement Turpin, who I do think is one of the best refs in Europe.

A name that could launch a thousand quips!

 

[PitchInvader BHA away1983]

Rain and 13 degrees on Wednesday.

Not a problem ??

They will have the Roof Closed!! :0)

 

[noseve]

Pep will play for a draw

With these defences? Bit risky to play for a 4-4...

 

[PitchInvader BHA away1983]

I'll take a boring 0-0 draw with no injuries.

Not for me:0(

Definitely not 0-0 :0(

I will be in the Stadium, I want to see us go for them :0)

Keep Feeding the Viking, he will score and score and score!!

Not sure about our defence though?? :0(
