Real Madrid (H) Pre-Match Thread

[JWT_98]

I think we’ll line-up like this:

Ederson
Walker
Fernandinho
Laporte
Cancelo
Rodri
Silva
De Bruyne
Mahrez
Sterling
Jesus

I’d go similar might even be worth a shot playing walker at centre back, cancelo has been in form at LB lately so if he can transfer this to the right hand side it might give us another option. Let Mendy and cancelo press high to pin back their wingers then if rodri drops when in possession we’ve hit the physicality of Rodri and Laporte at the back. You’ve then also got the pace of walker as cover, could be effective in this type of game

We'll be thrown out of the competition if Mendy plays.

If selected, which I think he will be, it will be because it is merited. For someone claiming not to be a hater, you seem to be going out of your way to knock him

just an opinion mate. Do you think he’s in good form?

Think gundogan will start. He tends to have his best games in the champions league and he started in Madrid. I'd be fine with that as like I said, he's more consistent in europe, suits his game more.

Think it will be;

Ederson
Walker
Fernandinho
Laporte
Cancelo
Rodri
Gundogan
De bruyne
Mahrez
Jesus
Sterling

Only question marks are dinho or Garcia and Mahrez or foden.

I'd personally be starting foden. Not bothered over Garcia or fernanfinho but I'd lean towards the latter. Bernardo should be in no one's team as he's looked so far from his best it could become a worry.

I really like Gundog, he is a very clever player and think he has brought a lot to the team.
Do I think he is playing well, yes

All players have strengths and weaknesses, in the Gundog thread, its his weaknesses that seem to be focused on and he cops an awful lot of unwarranted bile from some.

I personally think he will be picked next week

 

[omri]

yes,i think gundogan start with rodri.

Due to the new quarantine measures is there any possibility that this game will be moved to Portugal?

Well, not according to SSN this morning; the game is exempt from the regs, as it involves elite sportsmen,
but who knows what new rules we’ll get over the next 10 days...

All we ask is no Dunjoggin please. We want to win this thing.

All I ask is naysayers like you never be allowed in the ground
