Real Madrid (A) - Tues 9th April, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[1Basti]

They will be fresher so it`s more likely we will struggle from 60/70 min. onwards. Wouldn`t start Grealish because 240-270 min. in 7 Days are atm too much for him (reinjury risk). I expect the left side with Mendy/Camav./Vini will be more dangerous & we need Pace on our right side. Nunes with his pace/phy. strength would be a better option as a WB than Bernardo/injured Gvardiol but I would prefer Rico because he has more experience in this position.

Weak links in this Madrid side are the lack of pace from Carvajal & Kross/Modric & perhaps the offensive game on their right side.

Draw would be fine but even a two goal loss wouldn`t be the end of the world.

From a playing perspective, would have thought a closed roof suits us anyway - perfect conditions to zip the ball around.

I think Kev, too. I'd love to see our lineup like this:

Ederson
Akanji Stones Dias Lewis
Rodri Bernardo
Bobb Foden Grealish
Haaland​

Bobb instead of Kev ?
Brave

You love a lazy cliche when I comes to Haaland don’t you.

I don't comment about EH that often tbh, but I would like to see more from him at times. I guess I am pining for Sergio.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Yeah, never steps up in big games, does he?

Just the 2 goals against Arsenal last season, the 2 goals vs Bayern Munich in the Champions League QF and the 5 goals against Leipzig, the 6 goals against United, the 2 goals against Liverpool? He was literally a Courtois fingernail away from netting in the Champions League SF as well.

Stupid stupid stupid opinion.

Remind me to look out for your opinions.

 

[minimalistic]

Come on City. Will settle for a boring 0:0 today.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Bobb instead of Kev ?
Brave

I think he's ready. I only say no, Kev, because he played 90 minutes a couple of days ago.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

No. I want this one more than the league. Our injuries are making me nervous.

Same here regarding injuries. I wasn't at all worried when the draw was made, apart from usual peed off that we never get 'easy' at this stage. However injuries to Kyle and Nathan majorly concern me.

Ha Ha Nunes with his physical strength. Good one.

I feel less nervous when Ortega is in goal.
