wardyfox86 Posted 12 April 2017 Share Posted 12 April 2017 Blood, sweat, tears and a 3-0 loss. Just think they will have too much for us, being my realistic slightly pessimistic self. Anything better than that to keep the tie alive will be massive. They press high and I'd be very worried about our back line being pressured on the ball. Griezmann (2), Godin.

RowlattsFox Posted 12 April 2017 Share Posted 12 April 2017 I'm still in disbelief that we are actually playing Atletico Madrid in a Champions League Quarter Final and I believe we could get a result. How the **** did this happen? It will be a proud occassion tonight, as long as we avoid a beating it will remembered as a great night. Stay in the game please, give us half a chance in the home leg.

The thing is this is arguably the best defence in the world... they back themselves to defend a 1-0 over 2 legs... they'll be as organised as ever and I doubt they'll let us hit them on the break. 0-0 is my best case scenario tonight.

Clever Fox Posted 12 April 2017 Share Posted 12 April 2017 This is a real step up in class for us, But it's a cup game and so if we can frustrate them like Seville then who knows what may happen. Somehow I fancy a possible Vardy penalty as we all know how he plays for them. Anything less than a 2 - 0 defeat will be a good result and gives us a chance in the 2nd Leg. They're strong at the back and like to push on which means the space might be in front of their defence. If that's the case our best chance of a Goal may come from Albrighton, Okasaki or NDidi although I expect him to be watching Greizman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't think it is! Boring and unspectacular I know but one of the most important games ever for us was the 0-0 draw at Blunderland during the great escape that guaranteed us PL status - and led to the title the following year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted 12 April 2017 Share Posted 12 April 2017 Even at my most optimistic I'm struggling when I think of tonight. There isn't a lot to grab hold of. I'm excited though. I just hope we play at our best. No silly mistakes, no silly yellows and then pray we can come away with something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox42 Posted 12 April 2017 Share Posted 12 April 2017 This could be 5-2 Arsenal mark 2; Whatever we could do, they could do better. Let'a hope we stick to our game plan and adjust when we need to, as our opponents are basically us but better. Much better. My main worry is not having Morgan. Benny may be more equipped against a Spanish side as what someone here has mentioned. Let's see. Keep the faith lads!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4DD0gg Posted 12 April 2017 Share Posted 12 April 2017 So many of our players a booking away from a ban. There is no way Huth wont get booked and i can see some Oscar winning performances by their lot every time we go near them. Simeone is a vile turd at the best of times as well. 2-1 Madrid.

jim5000 Posted 12 April 2017 Share Posted 12 April 2017 The best thing about this match is that we seem to have our City back. The first half of the Champions League was a bit of a disappointment, even though we progressed, as with all of the doom and gloom around the club it seemed like we weren't going to see our Champions really give it a go. Win, lose, or draw now, at least we are seeing the boys back in form, with a real chance to see how they match up against the continent's elite.

STUHILL Posted 12 April 2017 Share Posted 12 April 2017 If ever we needed a big game from Mahrez, then tonight is it! Atletico known for being incredibly well drilled and solid in defence, so we will need some magic to unlock that and if Mahrez ever wants to be truly considered one of the best players in the world, then he needs to shine in a game like tonights. Come on Mahrez!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
