Real Madrid (A) - Wed 10th Dec, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[Chris@Mcfc]

Trouble with Militao looking unavailable for Wednesday now is Rudiger taking his place. He'll do his absolute best as usual to injure one of our players

 

[Macca3]

Militao coming off injured. They seem to be struggling at the back for fit defenders.

The thug is now on unfortunately!

 

[Sam69]

Militao was their best defender this season, but since he couldn't even walk normally, he'll be out for Wednesday. It will probably be a Rudiger-Asencio backline with Valverde at right-back to try and stop Doku and Camavinga, and Tchouameni in midfield.

 

[WallyA]

They have 6 defenders out injured now, with only 4 fit.

Everybody else is fit.

 

[dickie davies]

And they're getting beat by a mid table Celta Vigo

 

[WallyA]

I dont rate this Madrid side at all.

How they have that many pts in the league seems insane based on what im watching.

 

[MCFC1993]

Asencio and Garcia been getting slated by the fans too, and both of those are likely to be in the back 4.

Still going to be a tough game, might be better than I originally thought though.

 

[Ezy]

I mean Celta Vigo are putting up a real fight against them atm.

Mbappe is their Haaland.

Doesn't help how ass Madrid has been.

No press, no creativity.

Everybody else is fit.

They've been having massive defensive injury problems since last season, hopefully we take advantage.

They don't look like favorites to win big trophies, but they have better players than most teams in Europe, including Newcastle. Anything is possible in one game.

Let's hope we exploit their defensive problems and get a result. A City win seems possible, but Madrid should never be underestimated, especially at their ground.

 

[meeesh]

0-2 haha

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

I went for a draw, because of our defending. Still work to do

 

[Chak19]

0-2 haha

And another red lol, that's two more defenders suspended for their next league game.

 

[Ric]

They’ve had a shambolic night tonight, losing 2-0 at home to Celta Vigo with two red cards. We shouldn’t fear them on Wednesday.

 

[Ken92]

They are in a bit of a crisis, so a good time to go and grab a win over there.

 

[MCFC1993]

2 red cards and a 2-0 loss to Celta at home, almost the worst possible prep, less rest than us too. Definitely shouldn't be scared of them.

Probably saving themselves for our game the twats.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

I think we’ll beat them away. 2-3 blue boys !!
