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

[Inter Me Nan]

Can't believe people are suggesting to rest players in our biggest game of the season so far with it being on a knife edge!
Are you fucking sadists or something?

 

[A J Styles]

Have they said which team wins tonight who are home first in the semis?

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Was worried about L'pool last Sunday but City dominated them, I am not worried about these. City play better football and will win on the night 2-0.

(Has Lionheart posted his gloomy prediction of defeat yet?)

We are at home first should we progress. On another note just saw Chelsea only received 1800 tickets for away game so if we do make it through gonna be loads who will want to go who will miss out. Guess it’s because of stadium redevelopment

That's shocking. I don't know what the crowd was in Madrid, but 1800 in that stadium is pathetic.
Was 'redevelopment' the reason behind the swathes of covered (empty) seats in much of the lower tier..?

Update: attendance was just shy of 60k, so just 3% for away fans.

This will be another one goal either way , i dont want to have to stay up for xtra time so get it done in normal time blueboys , score first please

I'm seeing far to much confidence from City fans on social media about this match.

Comments about "how we can beat Real Madrid" and "how well be facing the scouse cocks in the FINAL!!"

Look!! I'm warning you nobs now!! DO NOT SMITE AND POKE FUN AT THE FOOTBALLING GODS!!

For your sins I'm off to dance naked around a small fire on cronkeyshaw Common, whilst praying and paying hommage to the Gods of Football, hopefully undoing this curse you feckers have put on tonight's game, with you over confident manner.....

***I'm adding a "winking emoji" so none of the BM perverts spend a wasted afternoon looking for a naked bloke dancing around a fire...You know who you are....Karen!!

Edit, l cant add an winking emoji because Ric (our leader) is way too fookin tight.....Its probably because he's paying to much to those thundercunt hammer banning mods....

Anyways hope I haven't offended anyone?

;^)

Personally think it will be a struggle and we could go out after which I might go out into the garden and dance naked around a fire.

Unless he plays upfront, I would start this game without Kev. AM will play another version of the turtle formation, so I would go with Gundo-Rodri-Bernardo in the MF. Gundo has the best movement getting into spaces behind the lines. Just my opinion.

We score first we win

Tough decisions for Pep tonight.

I reckon Ake comes in for Cancelo who must need a rest?

Rodri has played every game recently too.

Our full-strength team would be:

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Laporte
Cancelo

Rodri
Silva
Gundog

Mahrez
KDB
Foden

But I can see him starting with something like:

Cancelo > Ake
Rodri > Fernandinho
Silva > Grealish (and move KDB back)
