Usually the manager picks the same XI for 4 or 5 matches and throws on forwards in games we’re losing. 14/15 players might get used in total? The 3 or 4 who might make the squad or might not are very unlikely to get any game time whatsoever. As a Wales fan I couldn’t care less who takes those 18-23 slots. I doubt anyone on here will have even heard of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I agree. If Southgate thinks he can’t defend, he probably won’t play him in defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jyoung Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Interesting to see PSG ahead in their tie. I know a lot of people had their eyes on City Bayern in the semis but I did quite fancy watching the likes of Mbappe and Neymar taking on City. I'm sure Bayern will come back strong next week. In PSG's second leg against Barcelona they were crap do they'll certainly need to improve on that. Checked the odds this morning and Bayern have slipped from second favourites behind City to 8/1 behind Chelsea,PSG and Madrid. I wouldn't bet against them!

CG31 Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Are Trent and are Reece James viable options as they can both also play DM, neither play their regularly but both are pretty good in that position in the way Walker can do a job at CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DareToDibble Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Since coming into the first team I’ve never seen Trent play DM. I’m not sure about James but suspect he might be the same? If either of them aren’t picked for RB by Southgate they won’t be going as DMs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Think I'd rather play Bayern with Lewandowski out though I'm guessing he maybe back. If I had Choupo Motings agent I'd be running the country by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they would be 2 fantastic games. 2 of the best attacking teams in Europe going head to head. City would come out on top for sure but some of the attacking play on show would be unreal.

For me it's not so clear cut. Both PSG and City are going to win the CL at some point, it's just a case of when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DareToDibble Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Yeah, agreed. It's a shame it can't be the final really. I know you'll never say it but Chelsea have to be the second most likely to win it due to their side of the draw. Playing some great football from a much sturdier defensive base now. Don't think anyone on our half of the draw would be able to stop them currently to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
