***Madrid v City CL Official Match Thread***

[nottsblue]

Away first leg. Let’s see if that’s the advantage it’s supposed to be. I believe Madrid are missing a few players as well and have been inconsistent recently so it’s perhaps a good time to take them on.

As for ourselves, who knows what the line up will be. Dias and Stones most likely with Ait-Nouri and Nunes. Hope to see O’Reilly back and surely Haaland will return (?) even though we actually do well without him

Love to see a repeat of the group stage game.

And to all blues who are travelling there, stay safe and have a great time

2-1 Haaland O’Reilly

[Mase]

Madrid are missing a ton of players. There won't be a better opportunity to beat them

[CBEM]

We are pretty even stevens in the win stakes between ourselves in this fixture, we are starting to play a little better I believe we can do this and get a result tonight. Wouldn't it be nice to get a good lead to bring home?

[CTID Hants]

Sure as eggs are eggs that cunt victim jnr will be up to his usual tricks crying at every challenge waving his imaginary yellow card, then stick the boot in when the ref ain't looking.

[CTID Hants]

Our side to face Real Madrid

XI | Donnarumma, Khusanov, Dias, Guéhi, O’Reilly, Rodri, Bernardo (C), Savinho, Semenyo, Doku, Haaland

SUBS | Trafford, Bettinelli, Reijnders, Stones, Ake, Marmoush, Cherki, Nico, Ait-Nouri, Nunes, Foden, Alleyne

[Sparklehorse]

Fucking Sav and no Cherki, the man has lost his mind. He is so determined to prove himself right about this brainless player that it’s going to cost us. Despite the calamity selection Come on City !!!!

[sheblue]

Savinho starting, that will cause a rush on the blood pressure tablets for a few in here.

[Nickyboy]

Swap Dias for Stones and Cherki for Savinho and I'd be happy with that team!

Who knows maybe Savinho will surprise us

[john@staustell]

Well, in a first leg, away at Real Madrid, who wouldn't start with 2 attacking wingers?

[Nickyboy]

Also, looking at that Madrid team they're nothing special.

Think they'll definitely be more worried about us

[Wonderwall]

Swap Dias for Stones and Cherki for Savinho and I'd be happy with that team!

He surprised everyone on Saturday. Probably why he is keeping his place

[s1ty m]

He scored by accident, and made a diabolical mess of a clear opening.

I think this selection is not right, by a long way.

[PeterParker]

Are we one up yet?

[carl_feedthegoat]

For fucks sake !!! Baldy eventually sees it my way and puts Khusanov in and then fucking loses his head and puts that useless gimp in on the wing.

Cant wait to see his thunderous1 mph shot at the goalie in each half.

I still think it was deliberate. I think we have better options but will obviously be backing him all the way

[PeterParker]

for Stones

Yeah, we should promote imposture even more.
Some work their arse off and don't get the game time they deserve.

[Nickyboy]

For fucks sake !!! Baldy eventually sees it my way and puts Khusanov in and then fucking loses his head and outs that useless gimp in on the wing.

Cant wait to see his thunderous1 mph shot at the goalie in each half.

Gives to you with one hand and takes away with the other

[Nickyboy]

for Stones

Yeah, we should promote imposture even more.
Some work their arse off and don't get the game time they deserve.

Got a proven great relationship with Guehi and is world class when fit. Got to focus on winning each match as it comes and utilise the full squad now until the end of the season. Almost full strength squad now at just the right time

Well Marmoush fucked up scoring two goals didn’t he.

[mr_nool]

O'Reilly as left back or three at the back? I think the latter with Sav and Doku as wingers/wing backs.
