City v Real Madrid - 26/04/16 - Pre Match Thread

Otamendi too !

True, I wouldn't mind seeing them both start, with Kompany on the bench.

If one them is dropped for Vinnie it will be Otamendi.

 

[aguero93:20]

Good team I'd go with that. I hope Bony is fresh as he's played so many games.

Bony will be fresh. Not sure about Bony though.

Bony will be fresh. Not sure about Bony though.

Really looks too tired to run most of the time.

 

[worsleyweb]

looking forward to it now - its a good job we are still in this or the end of season would have been pretty boring.

I am going for 4-1.

 

[Marvin]

I suppose we need to get started on looking forward to Tues, I reckon having seen today unfold that it's relatively easy to pick the starting 11....

....................................Hart...................................
...Sagna.............Vince...............Mangala...........Clichy...
.......................Nando...............Dinho.......................
.........Navas.................SuperKev................Dave..........
..................................Sergio...................................

Probably.

Sterling/Navas would be a question mark. As would Kompany/Otamendi

....................Hart...................
Sagna....Otamendi..Mangala....Clichy

...Navas.........KDB.........Kelechi..
..................Aguero.................

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Hart

Sagna vin mangala clichy

Fern fern

Navas De bruyne silva

Aguero

I'd be tempted to go 422 and play kelechi on Tuesday.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

I know he has never played there for us, but I wonder if might be a good idea to play sterling against marcelo to exploit the space behind him and track his runs.
I know Navas offers similar but he has less goalscoring threat and played a lot in recent weeks, so may not be fresh.

I don't get why Sterling plays left wing every time. I suppose it helps to strengthen his weaker left foot & might help him play out of his skin when he gets back to his favoured right side. I'd like to see Navas on the left side sometime...not Tuesday though.

 

[Silva_Spell]

We will play:

Hart
Sagna Kompany Otamendi Clichy
Navas Fernando Fernandinho Silva
De Bruyne
Aguero

Silva needs to find his form back. He hasn't done much the past few months based on his past form, i think he's too aware of his pain and doesn't turn as much as he used to round players. his moments of magic are few and far in between now but there is still hope.

Kelechi today was everywhere, I've never seen anyone tracked back as much as he did in the first 75 minutes. He got extremely knackered then but he really wants that CL spot.
