They looked mid today. Meaning they’ll prolly be wide awake for the final. Really do not like the idea of Dzeko vs their CB’s. They’re all fast and agile, in Walkers case super fast. Lukaku is the easy starter for me with Lautaro even though I know inzaghi will pick Dzeko regardless. Brozo over Mikhi as well.

The one thing I'm really thinking about is Mourinho's comments on... For them, its an obsession. Guardiola's season will be seen as a failure, again, if they dont win the CL. It will be satisfactory, but not impressive.

For City, its an obsession. For Guardiola, its an obsession - he's never come close to the heights of his Barca time because he's never won the CL since. He NEEDS to win the CL.


That should be a familiar situation for anyone who watched the 2010 final.

Or more like the 2010 semifinal.

Or more like the 2010 semifinal.

yeah, apols, it was the games vs Barca that mourinho said it right

Onana
Darmian-Acerbi-Bastoni
Dumfries-Barella-Brozovic-Mkhi-Dimarco
Lukaku-Lautaro

Anything other than that lineup is wrong but based on the subs today it looks like bench for Brozo and Lukaku.

I can't see why would Dzeko start and what good would that bring. However, I'm expecting it.

 

[Bluenine]

This shirt would have sold out!

 

[RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot]

I have opinions on who should start but I'm gonna let Inzaghi cook. We wouldn't be here without him.

While this is true if he stars Dzeko and he has a stinker or things go badly I don’t think the fan base will ever truly forgive him. This just feels like such a huge opportunity. Any “own goal” tactically would be so hard to swallow.

You would bench Hakan?

 

[Puma]

Absolutely not. Hakan should start.

I dont understand why people complain so much re:lukaku. He had to start and play, that was clear. Unlike other players who have a lot of minutes, Lukaku missed a good part of the season and still had room to improve his fitness. It was also the last chance to test LuLa. It would have been more worried if he didnt start.

 

[akusukako]

start dzeko to score against his ex team for better drama

 

[Puma]

Don't laugh at me: but we are going to win this game.

Except the assist was made by MU's player

 

[kurt0411]

You would bench Hakan?

Yep. Mkhi has to start as he has qualities none of the others have. Then it’s between Brozo and Calha for regista position. I think Brozo is better defensively and is in better form as well

 

[forzainter257]

Don't worry guys. If Inzaghi starts Dzeko, players will work their asses off to fix their manager's mistake. Hopefully they won't get tired of doing that for too long, cause fresh Lukaku won't help much with a gassed out midfield.
