Atletico (H) | CL QF 1st Leg - Tue 5th April, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

A little shocked to see Phil benched, but can see why, Gundogan will control the tempo alongside Rodders and Bernardo had to start…. Kev will get a good few chances tonight with the water carriers in behind, wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him knock a couple in with that set up..

 

[M12Blue]

He does realise that Zinchenko still exists, yes?

Possibly a little unfocused

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Obviously going to be

Stones - laporte - Ake - cancelo

No chance Ake plays lb and cancelo on the right. Stones played RB plenty this season.

Nah, that would be disastrous for our build up as two left footed CBs would skew our back line.

 

[kaz7]

You do realise he has played and made himself available

He is with the team for support, he has hardly played since the war started, give the lad a fucking break

I agree. I think we'll line up exactly like Sporting away, obviously Ake for Dias

 

[bluesmith]

Stones right back and Cancelo left back surely.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

It could be a back 3 with Cancelo floating causing havoc. Come on you blue boys...up and at em from the first whistle.

 

[Goater=Legend]

As long as Kdb is false 9 and not Bernardo.

Its a strong team, we really need that first goal

And leaves Phil fresh to terrorise Liverpool. I reckon we’ll see Foden, Jesus Grealish vs the Dippers.

I love that midfield
