GWT: Champions League - Quarterfinals

[quickeyg]

City get to the Final they win it (Facts)

 

[S E P H]

Sounds like it'll be Goretzka and Laimer again in the midfield.

Is that good or bad for us?

 

[Tony Romo]

WFH today so I’ll be « working » this afternoon

Wonder if this game will make me choose work over watching it tbh

I’ll let you know in a couple hours.

Drinking a Basque IPA right now in support of our boy Mikel. That should help, right?

I think the other major Dresden team is in like...what's below the Oberliga? Closest alternatives would be Chemnitz, Zwickau, or Aue, I think? The last if wanting a "professional" level club.

Yeah, I dunno that there's a good alternative in Dresden. Berlin being the bigger city, BFC being even more despicable than Dresden had been, and Hertha existing to keep them from dominating the city post-reunification even if we had gone completely bankrupt; so it's a different dynamic than the other Dynamo city.

Is that good or bad for us?

Good probably. Pavlovic has been significantly better than Laimer this season and without the 19yo next to him, Leon has to play a more holding midfield role. Goretzka has done very well in that role lately, so maybe not a big deal, but Pavlovic has been very important for them.

Will Nacho drop a masterclass or disasterclass?

Laimer was really hot and cold the first leg. Some bonehead giveaways, and at least one of the goals directly on him, but he also was all over the place and a pretty disruptive presence. I suspect if they are chasing the game they'll make the switch to Pavlovic.

Also will be curious to see how that left side plays out. Raphael has played a lot of 8 for them, so I could see that 11 shifting into more of a 4-3-3 with Guerriero, Liamer, & Goretzka in a midfield trio behind Kane, Sane, & Musiala if their midfield is getting pushed around.

That or Tuchel is going with the double LB because he's scared of Saka. Who knows.

Let's goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I think that's how it'll start, but if their midfield is having more problems than Mazraoui, they can make that shift.

Being a Tottenham fan is exhausting. I want to root for Harry Kane. I also want Arsenal to lose. But I also want Arsenal to win so Spurs chances for CL next year get better.

 

[KJS14]

Bayern fans trying to smoke us out?

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Gut feeling says Arsenal and Real get it done.

 

[Power Man]

Lunin GTFO

 

[luiginb]

Akanji instead of Stones? Seriously Pep?

I don't like that Tuchel starting 11 either.

 

[maclean]

I can already tell this game is going to take years off my life

 

[Sad People]

Lets go Real!!

No doubt in my mind, allez FC Hollywood!

Getting Saka isolated on Mazraoui is a pathway for success for Arsenal. TBD if they can get it done successfully.

I just wanted to say, Saka vs Mazraoui is a nightmare waiting to happen for Bayern.
