Champions League Final | Inter (N) - Sat 10th June 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Irlamblue]

Same team bar Aké in for Walker, Inter have very little pace and their biggest threats are aerial.

yeah, but . Kyle isnt bad in the air also.

Already had a nervous poo this morning thinking about this

I'm empty after yesterday to be fair.

Ederson​

Akanji Dias Ake
Stones Rodri
Foden De Bruyne Gundogan Grealish
Haaland

Bernardo can’t sit out because of his exceptional work rate imo.

For me the arguable points are:

Walker vs Ake Don’t know if Ake has sufficiently gotten up to speed to shake off rustiness from his last injury so Walker gets the nod. Also considering that we will have some defending to do as well especially with our new 3-2 defensive system as against the usual 4-1 style

Grealish vs Foden Considering how Grealish has gone off the boil in the last few games and considering that we might need cunning attackers a title bit more to beat their 11 man wall, Foden gets my nod. Also we will need people who can shoot accurately from around the edge of the box. We have KDB, Rodri, Gundo and Foden in this department and I would want all of them to feature.


But hey, I’m no Pep so I’ll just wait and see and hope for the best.

But I must say, as a follow up point, that Grealish’s selling point is his ability to keep the ball among other things, and so prevent teams that use counter attacks a lot e.g. Inter from exploiting that option. For this reason alone I expect Pep to use his ahead of Foden.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

I back City to win this so much

 

[cibaman]

Can’t change the team. Maybe Ake.

Ake might be a gamble fitness wise. I don’t really see a strong enough reason to change the team apart from the keeper

 

[Manchester_lalala]

No way is Grealish getting dropped for the final. He’s earned his place this season, he’s also crucial to how we play. Foden will be chomping at the bit though, not a bad substitute to make.

That would be my team.
