Never felt this confident for a champions league game put it to bed tonight and shut up shop next week

i see a big score line 4-1 to city

 

[Don Karleone]

Pretty calm about tonight. Prem games make me more nervous.

Hoping for a huge win so we can put a strong team out against Everton.

Been feeling the same myself, I’ve got a really good feeling for this game

Vinicius? Pfft. Walker can give him a head start and still catch him.

true vinicius can catch him but he is one tricky little guy over 15 years thats when he will have the advantage over walker if its a long run walker wins all day

if we can put it to bed in the first legs take alot of pressure in the league it would not be ideal having to go to goodison with madrid on the back of our mind

No day for Walker overlaps. He shouldn't even cross the half way line. If we get caught on the counter in Madrid we haven't learnt anything.

Also wanted to say we baited them to counter on that side many, many times last year, and it lead to very few chances, and opened up the pitch for us to attack (and if we had taken our chances, they would have not been able to mount the comeback).

It was when Walker had to go off and Fernandinho moved over, staying mostly in our own half, allowing Vinicius to take him on 1v1 over short distances (easily knocking the ball by him several times, including for their goals), that we collapsed.

@kaz7 sarcastically clapping @jimharri is indicating a red card may be coming…

She's more Klopp style.

I think we will bait them to press us, like we did with Arsenal, and go direct through the middle with Haaland vs Rudiger.

 

[ken tali]

Hopefully we get that Haaland today we have been used to see this season not the one against Leeds ,but i think City is the better team and we will win it tonight.
