Mahrez is better winger than Foden.

Please no.

Mahrez is better winger than Foden.

I don't think he is a better winger, but even if I were to concede he was, I'd still start Foden. As overall Foden is a better addition. Better at the press, better at defending, better at unselfish play, and a better passer.

So , I'd still start him over Mahrez

Ederson, Walker, Cancelo, Fernandinho, Laporte, Rodri, De Bruyne, Foden, Mahrez, Sterling, Jesus.

City 2 Real Madrid 2

I'm expecting Rodri and Gundogan to start this one.

Just letting you all know that it WILL be Rodri and Gundogan together in midfield, so get yourself mentally prepared for it now. There is time to make peace with it.

Probably. I think it should be Bernado with one of them

Absolutely no fucking excuses here. It's probably our best chance to win it......apart from last season, now that was fucking gift wrapped for us.

I wouldn't say there were no excuses?

To recap, just beat Real Madrid, Juventus, one of Barca or Bayern, and then Atletico or PSG.

No team in recent times will have had it so difficult to lift the trophy, whether that be us or anyone else on our side of the draw.

I'd actually be more comfortable if they were all two legs as anything can happen in a one-off game.

I fear we will come up just short in the semi-finals.

We're in the driving seat against Madrid, so no excuse there.

Then it's one off games. I'd back us against anyone in a one off. The two leg games are a fucking nightmare.

Dinho needs to be no where near the starting 11

Well, Stones or Otamendi then. Simply can't be the kid. He is currently awful at 1v1 defending. And we'll see lots of that vs Madrid
