Why?

Vinicius is one of Real Madrids danger men playing wide left. Comprende?

 

[LongsightM13]

Same referee that did the 1st leg versus Atletico.

He is a decent ref tbf

 

[Father Paul]

Raz @ RB :-)

Yes crazy

 

[the talisman]

I love Bluemoon. Jesus, Raz or (my personal favourite) Bernardo at right back

 

[Tarzan41]

City playing Real Madrid in a CL semi final. 90% on here think we’ll win and Real are 6/1. We’ve come long way

The same thing was said about the German **** we suffered in the quarters.

Raz @ RB :-)

He wouldn't be my first choice. Or second. Or third. But if none of them are available, which may currently be the case, who plays there?

Vinicius has too much pace for Dias or Fernandinho. If we don't stop him, his balls to Benzema will cause a lot of issues. We've already got issues with lack of pace on the left side whoever plays there, if we expose both wings, we're going to be very vulnerable to the counter.

They have got more reasons to worry about us mate, we can't negate every single problem but we can make sure we are on it and give them some pain.

The right back needs to be someone who has experience of tackling a player like Vinicius. Otherwise they’ll just target him, it’s a penalty waiting to happen

 

[MCFC1993]

If Stones and Walker aren't available I think he'll go with Ake right back to matchup against Vinicius and Zinchenko left back.


----------------Ederson
Ake------Dias-----Laporte---Zinchenko
-----------------Rodri
------Bernardo-------De Bruyne
Mahrez---------Jesus------------Foden


That's my prediction until we know any more.
