How the fuck have Real Madrid got nine days off whilst we have two games in between?

All of La Liga have

Copa final weekend I think

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Nothing other than a win.

3-1 City.

 

[KnaresboroughBlue]

My team (subject to all being fit of course) would be:

Ortega
Akanji Stones Dias Gvardiol
Rodri Bernardo
Bobb Foden Grealish
Haaland

KDB and Doku to come on 2nd half when they start to tire.

 

[markblue]

Ortega

Rico
Akanji
Dias
Gvardiol

Rodri
Kovacic

Bernardo
Foden
Grealish

Haaland

i think is our best option, with maybe Bobb for either Foden or Bernardo

 

[Fordyboy46]

No idea how hes getting on the pitch before Bobb he drives me bonkers.

Because he cost 50m that's why. Obviously more effective than an academy graduate right?

Because the Spanish FA realise how important the Champions league is to their football clubs and the prestige it brings with winning it.

 

[Gigant]

Ortega
Lewis
Akanji
Dias
Gvardiol
Rodri
Bernardo
Grealish
KDB
Foden
Haaland

Haaland had nothing today he's not in form but never will be if we can't give him a decent chance. Kev improved after a poor first half. The players know that was a poor performance today so I expect a response on Wednesday Night. CTID

We had no width for most of the game yesterday (bar Gvardiol), which made it easy for Arse to flood the middle and crowd Haaland out.

Grealish made a big difference - he must start on Wednesday if he is fit enough.

 

[Kid A]

Gvardiol was fucking brilliant today

He was easily the best player on the pitch - massive positive from a flat game.
