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

[deano ou812]

I think everyone needs to stop shitting their pants about Madrid. We're a match for them. It'll come down to luck.

Yip and all this bollocks about clean sheets couldn't care less as long as we score more than them over two legs which we are more than capable of..

Don't think it will be far off this

Hart
Sagna Kompany Mangala Clichy
Fernando Toure
Fernandinho Silva De Bruyne
Aguero

Caballero
Zabaleta
Otamendi
Kolarov
Sterling
Iheanacho
Bony

Toure wont start. How can you not have Navas even on the bench

Completely forgot about Navas, i'd swap him with Kolarov or Bony.

Swap Dinho for Yaya in the middle and put Navas on the right and you're on the right track. Zaba probably won't be on the bench though if Yaya is available.

One thing is certain RM ARE beatable. If we play to our full potential with our strongest team out I really believe we can get a decent result to take over there. You wouldnt bet against City scoring at least 1 goal over there and that my be all we will need to do. The players will not need a team talk they will be self motivated which always helps. Anybody on this site thought we had blown the title when QPR got the 2nd ? This is football 11 v 11. We have every chance of making the final. HAVE FAITH.

Just seen on an English Real Madrid forum, I know right, that Robinho is apparently going to be supporting us for this tie. Good lad.

Real are beatable of course. But the key to beating them is going to the Bernabeu and them having to come and beat us. With their players they can do anything, but no doubt counter-attacking is their biggest strength, we do not want to be chasing the game over there.

Avoid defeat at home and we've got a decent chance.

Does anyone know if they show the game anywhere in Australi?. I guess it's too early/late for them to show it anywhere

It's on SBS (free to air) and also bein sports (should be on at any casino)
445 am east coast coverage starts at 430

The away leg is not on free TV but if you have a decent internet connection you can sign up for bein sports for about 10 bucks for a month

I think the team picks itself...except the back two depending on Kompany situation. Hart Sagna Clichy Fernando Fernandinho Silva Navas KDB Aguero....no way Toure will be a starter and the same applies to Sterling.
