Lewis will now play as a false 9 against Madrid

In Pep Speramus.

Let's hope Mahrez shows up

We would all love a calm and easy 90mins with us grabbing a couple of quick fire goals,but unfortunately we know we will be put through the wringer for this entire game,but as long as we don’t lose and don’t pick up any injuries..

Thanks Kaz luv.
Best wishes.

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.

Not necessarily.

Of all of our non-fringe players, Walker has had the most rest this season, and is likely most able to play three games on the trot.

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

I guess it’s about individual player fitness
Some are more robust and have higher levels of recovery than others

Happy with that team, come on City

What is this spermus you speak of, grasshopper?

Thought Walker would be kept fresh for Madrid.

Same here, but apparently Lewis is not ready for such games yet.
