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

[Kippax Street 1880]

Barry at Everton has really struggled but their fans decided to have his back.

Barry runs himself into the ground and fights for every single lost cause. Savinho isn't a bad footballer people don't like him because he's a coward with a poor work rate and attitude.

 

[No1 was Colin bell]

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

Like that. But I hear Savinho might be starting. What is Pep seeing that I’m not?!

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Second year with this Ai draw that we have had one of the worse draws in premier

I agree. We've has lousy draws both years, as I look on enviously at who Arse and Dippers got apart from the ' big teams'. I personally hate this new format.

 

[Gaz76]

So we let 4 in against Fulham but RM at the Bernabau won't manage to score? I'll have whatever you're smoking.

Yeh your right, maybe I was a little over excited with that prediction, forgot about Fulham......5-1 city

Joe H. Does!!! :0) LOL

It will soon be a Cup Knock Out competition, so we should believe, that on our Day ??

We can beat anyone!!! :0)

I do :0)

As much as we can lose to anyone on our day , if we don’t put a shift in?? :0(

It's when the business end of the competition kicks in the knockouts, that's when 3 games in a week hurts if you're still in the cups and in the title race. We just don't have the squad for that this season right now. but the winter transfer window opens and if we can bag 3 or 4 new faces, then I might change my mind

It’s McCoist tonight

He did his talkshite show from Madrid this morning

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

You spoke very well, despite Naga not being that well up on City or football in general. Let’s hope someone at the club was listening to some of your criticisms of Champions League nights.

Thank you!

Oh god he’s a proper knob. Mute it is.

 

[ancoats]

Me.

I don't think we are favourites but the favourites don't win that often.

Right, City are in the next stages of the Champions League after Christmas and got a very hard draw

Now look at the fixtures for April: Chelsea away, Arsenal home. What would you do ? City hopefully are right bang in the middle of the title race between those teams, Now, the question would be

Absolutely!

 

[Ashton Moss Messi]

Like that. But I hear Savinho might be starting. What is Pep seeing that I’m not?!

Is it cynical to say it's putting him in the shop window for January?

 

[Kush45]

Think we produce a performance to be proud of and leave Madrid with the 3 points.
Won't be happy to see Savinho start mind you.

 

[No1 was Colin bell]

Good point. Here’s hoping.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

I think this game will be too much for our team at this stage of the rebuild. If it was the last gen we would hammer them tonight. Cmon blues

 

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

A few bedwetters as usual, but there's no way Real are looking forward to playing us, especially after their recent results and we are going into the game full of confidence, so i feel sure we will score more than one.

Up the mighty blues!

Barry runs himself into the ground and fights for every single lost cause. Savinho isn't a bad footballer people don't like him because he's a coward with a poor work rate and attitude.

He is a different type of footballer, but I think it's very unfair to label him a coward. We are in a vicious circle, and either the players or fans need to break out of it. Nunes got this 12 months ago, but he grew in confidence and now he is one of our better players. Give Savinho a chance.

You have to make choices. Sometimes momentum is important. We need to get better and grow in confidence as a side, that comes from good results in big games.

 

[Uptop]

Madrid not really in great form but sure they can still turn up for big games.

I think it all depends which City shows up with us being very jekyll and hyde. If we are on form we win, if not anything can happen.

 

[Luke The Blue]

PLEASE NO SAV.... I've been waiting all day for this game, dont disappoint me and start him Pep!
