Surprised but very happy with that team, considering. Should be enough to win it and options from the bench if really required.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Nuce one

Good team that come on city

Not against these cloggers.

I thought he’d want to protect Walker for Wednesday because of Vinicius Jr.

I think this points towards Gundogan not starting against Madrid on Wednesday and a midfield of Rodri, Bernardo and KDB with either Mahrez or Foden on the right instead.

Suspect so.

Happy with the team. Does that mean we will play with no Kyle on Wednesday? For example, a similar team to the one we played against Bayern at home? I hope Rodri is subbed off ASAP. The same goes for Gundo. Surely he will share the time with Bernie.

Solid 11 that... rather start strong than chase the game.. Hopefully be able to rotate if we get 2 in front.

 

[117 M34]

Laporte or Akanji at left back?

 

[Cityinmyheart]

Thought Stones and Bernie would play instead of Walker and Gundo who are both well into their thirties. Hope we score early and rest important players for Real.

 

[Claytop]

Thought Walker would be kept fresh for Madrid but strong team, should be 3 points.

Exactly why we need a Rice though......because Rodri should also be on the bench.

When Phillips and Rice have both been on the pitch for England, I’ve always been more impressed with Phillips.
