Atletico (A) - Wed 13th April, 20:00 (BST) | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Live on BT Sport for those in the UK. Kick off 20:00 (BST).

We know what needs doing, any result that gets us through to that semi final. After today I'm convinced we're the best team in Europe. We should be in that Final in Paris at the end of May.

Kyle Walker is back from suspension which is huge.

Unfortunately Gabriel Jesus is suspended.

De Bruyne and Cancelo miss the next match if they are booked:


Just the 8 players at risk for Atletico!


Absentees v Liverpool
Ruben Dias
Cole Palmer




My Team Prediction:
--------------Ederson
Walker---Stones---Laporte---Ake
----------------Rodri
------De Bruyne----Gundogan
Mahrez-------Grealish-------Foden

It goes against me saying that I'd start Bernardo in every big game but i'd be tempted to try and save his legs for the FA Cup. He could play over De Bruyne who is at risk of suspension.

As long as Walker doesn't switch off.....

Any update on Dias? I see that he is out but when is he expected back in training?

 

[Blu3m00n91]

Ederson; Walker Stones Laporte Cancelo; Rodri Gundo Bernardo; Foden KDB Mahrez

I can't decide if they were shit scared of Jack or just felt they could get a reaction out of him. I'd get him playing from the start.

De Bruyne and the rest will do.

Walker was fantastic today, more of the same I recon.

Start with Grealish and they'll lose their shit early on.

That sounds daft but, having thought about it, it’s an astute observation and I’ll go with it.
Makes perfect sense because the cheeky way he plays just invites a foul and they can’t help themselves.
