[Clegg]

Shit team.

Silva needs dropping.

 

[LegoArmo]

I think Nastasic is going to be sent off.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Hart, Maicon, Kompany, Nastasic (debut), Clichy, Garcia, Barry, Yaya, Silva, Nasri, Tevez

What do we think?

Depends what role Garcia plays. if he attacks, good. If he doesn't, you'll invite pressure which will lose you the match

 

[Ushojax]

Hart, Maicon, Kompany, Nastasic (debut), Clichy, Garcia, Barry, Yaya, Silva, Nasri, Tevez

What do we think?

Obviously it's batshit to play such an inexperience defender. Other than that it seems to pretty much match up to what Real Madrid will play.

 

[Freewheelin']

Wow, debut. I'd be nervous!

It's not the first time Mancini has dropped Lescott for a big game.

 

[Garjon]

Looking forward to Man City vs RM tonight. It's been too long since we had quality European Club football. However, I still think City will just about hold out, probably to a 1 goal deficit or perhaps even a point. I can't see them winning though, they simply lack the team cohesion and spirit of Madrid. Anything can happen.

Happy slightly belated Birthday Fady

 

[dc89]

Wait. UEFA's starting 11 conflicts with what the journo's have.

Hold the phone, Nastasic may not be playing.

 

[elseanio]

Just picked up my nexus 7. I love it! Gonna keep updated with the football and GAF tonight

 

[The_Hitcher89]

No Ozil?

Fuck you Mourinho

 

[elsk]

Wait. UEFA's starting 11 conflicts with what the journo's have.

Hold the phone, Nastasic may not be playing.

Unless he gets injured in the minutes before the match, that's the official lineup.

 

[LegoArmo]

Now Sky are reporting a different team. Those lying bastards.

 

[Ushojax]

Essien instead of Modric. Mou you pussy.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Nastasic debut at the Bernabeu?

Do it Ronnie.

 

[dc89]

City have Tweeted.

Nastasic IN

[Manager]

City bench:
SUBS (CITY): Pantilimon, Lescott, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Rodwell, Aguero, Dzeko

Disgrace if Lescott is fit.

 

[Freewheelin']

City gonna get destroyed

 

[dc89]

City bench:
SUBS (CITY): Pantilimon, Lescott, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Rodwell, Aguero, Dzeko

Disgrace if Lescott is fit.

Milner and Balotelli don't make the bench.

Shiiii.... Mario will be going thermonuclear.

 

[elsk]

Where in the fuck are you guys getting the lineups? The official ones are:

 

[Joel Was Right]

Damn it. My right eye keeps twitching

 

[Manager]

Milner and Balotelli don't make the bench.

Shiiii.... Mario will be going thermonuclear.

Must've gotten a knock... otherwise, you're right.

Where in the fuck are you guys getting the lineups? The official ones are:

Official City twitter.

 

[Gareth Bale]

There's no way Essien is starting. That team must be wrong. But where is Modric going to play guys?

LOLZIL

 

[Manager]

Looks like City deleted the Twitter, but Uefa saying Nasta too:

edit
City put it back in

[Vivalaraza]

Both managers pussied out.

 

[Milchmonster]

The real Dortmund bros are both starting. Fuck yeah!

 

[Meier]

Hart, Maicon, Kompany, Nastasic (debut), Clichy, Garcia, Barry, Yaya, Silva, Nasri, Tevez

What do we think?

INTERESTING! Yaya in the attacking role from the start.. I LIKE IT! Lescott has been pretty poor this season thus far (Kompany had a bit of a rough start but has looked closer to his typical form lately) but throwing Nastasic into the fire like that is really, really ballsy. Mancini is a mad man.

Shit, stupid fantasy site is down right now and I can't get Kolarov out. Damn you, UEFA!

 

[GQman2121]

Where in the fuck are you guys getting the lineups? The official ones are:

This certainly makes more sense.....

 

[Milchmonster]

This certainly makes more sense.....

They changed it, though.

Varane and Essien for Ramos and Modric.

 

[Manager]

City has confirmed three times (for some reason) that Nasta is playing (on Twitter and OS), Uefa.com saying the same.

[AndresON777]

fucking mancini what good is a ferrari if youre going to drive speed limit. city needs to throw millions at pep. Id love to see that

anyway this game should be awesome its like two supervillains fighting each other.

 

[Ushojax]

They changed it, though.

Varane and Essien for Ramos and Modric.

That really is a pathetic team from Mourinho, but I guess he has to pick the players who are determined and not coasting on the fumes of last season.

 

[elsk]

They changed it, though.

Varane and Essien for Ramos and Modric.

What the fuck? I've never seen the lineups changing in the UEFA site before...

 

[dc89]

Just picked up my nexus 7. I love it! Gonna keep updated with the football and GAF tonight

Even thou I have a iPad I actually really want one of these. I had a go of one the other week, so smart and fast!

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Hmm... watching Montpellier - Arsenal and Dortmund - Ajax tonight

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Casillas; Arbeloa, Pepe, Varane, Marcelo; Xabi, Khedira, Essien; Di María, Cristiano e Higuaín.

No Ramos.

 

[dc89]

The journo's are raging at UEFA.

"Thanks Uefa. Real and City line-ups are both wrong. Shall we try that one again in a sec...Lescott? Nastasic? Nastasic? Lescott?"

Telegraph football.

 

[elsk]

Casillas; Arbeloa, Pepe, Varane, Marcelo; Xabi, Khedira, Essien; Di María, Cristiano e Higuaín.

No Ramos.

Fuck Mourinho.

 

[Meier]

I still can't believe Nastasic's first match with City will be against Real. I know he shut down Zlatan in his first start for Fiorentina, but this game will be on another level. This makes Savic's throwing into the fire look like nothing.

 

[bjaelke]

What the fuck? I've never seen the lineups changing in the UEFA site before...

They have both...just in case.

 

[AndresON777]

Casillas; Arbeloa, Pepe, Varane, Marcelo; Xabi, Khedira, Essien; Di María, Cristiano e Higuaín.

No Ramos.

lol who the hell is that guy?

 

[LegoArmo]

If his performance for his national team against Scotland's dangerous attack is anything to go by, he'll get sent off.

 

[Meier]

lol who the hell is that guy?

Raphael Varane, FM wonderkid from France. Same age as Nastasic but he's played in a handful of matches for Real already.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Haha awesome by Mourinho dumping Ramos.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Raphael Varane, FM wonderkid from France. Same age as Nastasic but he's played in a handful of matches for Real already.

And he's quite good.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Mourinho you twat. Alonso, Khedira and Essien in the same team. No Ozil, no Modric. No Ramos to get sent off and provide the lols. Coentrao. Fucking Coentrao.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Ramos dropped.

Madness. Varane is good but I am guessing Ramos is dropped because of indiscipline of some sort.

 

[AndresON777]

if madrid fail to advance they will fire him. them peeps dont play. And we will dominate again!

 

[Tc91]

Both managers have gone mad.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

I'm not sure who I want to win. I think it is City. I just hope it is high scoring.
