Another big city win.

Put Erling on the bench and give him last 30 to score 4 so he's pumped for the German Rags.

I think we’ll get Haaland and Alvarez and KDB on the bench.

Walker in the cold as not tactically aware!

Thing he will play the same team as he did against the Bus Wreckers.

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

I think we will see the four centre backs for Bayern.

The key point v Real last season was at home when we had got into a hard fought 3-1 lead and daylight with Phil’s goal and a minute later Vinicius destroyed our right flank and it’s 3-2. With Walker I doubt that would have happened and Bayern are clearly good enough to do the same. That’s the worry for me.
But anyway, let’s hope we win today first of all

There's merit in going for the same team as last weekend, but we want Haaland to have some game time ready for Bayern. Whether that means he starts and comes off if we are comfortable, or comes on for the final 30mins I'm not sure. Harsh to bench Alvarez after last week but we have to win today.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Be a beggar if we cocked this one up. It's always a possibility with thoughts on the CL.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Only one way this is going, 12 man defence, kick lumps out of us, defend like their lives depend on it. We should still win handsomely - 0 - 1 it is then.

 

[RobinHood]

Walker in the cold as not tactically aware!

That's one way to tell him off.

 

[Tony - MCFC]

Every game is tough now, buzzing for it.

No entrusting the league Cup team, Phillips should be nowhere near the team today please.
Get the game won then make changes.
