City vs Real Madrid Pre match Discussion Thread

[savo]

I watched Real Madrid last night as I do most weeks and they looked in their best form of the season so far so unless our players give 110% it could be one-sided, but as shown in Madrid we can score against them and should have ended up with a good result if not for our implosion at the end. Home support will be important too, players like Pepe CAN be wound up by boos and hostility.

I dunno, Atheletic were crap. They were missing a few and have lost the momentum from last year. Not sure what is going with llorente, he was benched again last night.

I think we can do Real, they are dangerous on the counter which is why we will need both Yaya and Barry to stay deep. On top of that Real are not afraid to long ball it and use the pace of Tranny and benzema over the top. If we can stay displicined and tight at the back it's City 2 Real for me.

One of Mancini's biggest tests this season, lets hope he will pass the test and we will have a nice and historical night to remember.

Regarding the line up, I would prefer the same ELEVEN who started against Aston Villa

Re: City vs Madrid Pre match dicussion thread

Yeah I'm with you this is currently working so we should stick with it, if it doesnt work bring on Dzeko and Kolorov...

Is Ronaldo/Marcelo gonna be in this match?

If we beat Real and Ajax beat Dortmund...then we beat Dortmund and the other two draw we will all have 8 points..then who goes through?

I agree with Mancinis comments that we have to play at a level higher than the Villa game. Total concentration for the entire game. They are incredible on the break so this is where we need to be careful. I think they will also try and press us on the ball but we can do the same to them.

Fortress Etihad is going to face its biggest challenge.

I believe we can do it, but it's going to be one helluva game!

We are definitely NOT going to beat Dortmund in their fortress of a stadium, so why even talk about qualifying? The best we can hope for is third place and the Europa League. We had our chances and failed to take them. Sad but true. More important to concentrate on not losing to Chelski at the bridge.

You best let 3,000 city fans know before they set off for dortmund if we're definitely not going to win
