Phil centrally is fucking great news, Kev out isn't. Still think we'll have enough to do some damage here.

 

[gray740]

Oh its Pointy ffs Go back to arsenal

 

[SebastianBlue]

In Pep we trust.

 

[Bluewars II]

Gone for total control. Should have played Kev instead of Haaland in that case as Haaland wont get any service with no Kev.

100%

 

[west didsblue]

Anyone tell me why tnt sport one and two are both Arsenal?

They’re not. 2 is now at the Bernebeu.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Big move in the odds. Madrid is now the favourite.

 

[Crooked_rain]

late change indeed! not ideal changing 2 hours before KO

Not ideal but our team is so well drilled at knowing how we play, so I don't think it has huge tactical implications.

Besides, I think Kev not playing means Phil probably moves central again, I reckon he would've been out wide otherwise. We know Phil is at his best in the middle and he's playing like one of the best in the world right now.

So, without disrespecting Kev who is one of our greatest ever...but right at this moment I really don't worry too much that he's not starting today. I think we're in good hands with Phil...

 

[Jam Tomorrow]

Which complete knob have we got on TNT? No doubt they will jumping for joy if Madrid score.

 

[bluenova]

The team selection is out. I reckon this is how the players will be stationed:

Ortega
Akanji Stones Dias Gvardiol
Kovacic Rodri
Bernardo Foden Grealish
Haaland
​

That's more the line up that I expected, before I heard Kev was playing.

 

[Sibierskii]

I don’t fear their line up at all. They’ve also had 9 days off which i don’t think is a positive.
