Walker Recovers!!!

[johnny crossan]

Pep Guardiola on ManCity's right-back options: "Joao [Cancelo] is not out, he's doing good. Kyle [Walker], we'll see how he wakes up and we'll see..."
sounds hopeful - our best option is both, Cancelo on the left is a big upgrade on Zinch & Walker gives us speed against Vinicius

Word is Kyle Walker has traveled with the city squad to Madrid this afternoon.

Think that's right Harry but great to see all the boys there together for the big one

Thought Zinch has been doing well to be fair and decent on the ball certainly need the pace on the right though

He has, "big upgrade" is unfair, just that overall Walker is defensively better than Cancelo at RB who is in turn more creative at LB.

Cancelo is a liability unless we get one or two of his very rare moments of genius. Zinch all day for me, but we all know it will be Cancelo.

I would go with Cancelo and Ake on the left.
Gullit's been briliant this season.

unless Walker is 100% I agree

I think Walker needs some game time. Tonight he is facing arguably the best left forward in the world at the moment.
Difficult to say, but great to actually have options to chose from.

Best left forward??? Are you not forgetting Sterling?

Sadly, Pep is not allowing us to do that

[Kippax Sean]

Missed Walker in the 1st leg. Our full backs whoever plays need to be 100% tonight.

[Plain Speaking]

Apparently KDB's been playing with an ankle injury for some time, plus Ake played with an ankle injury on Saturday. Pep might well play Walker even if he's not 100%? There's 5 subs in the CL. If it's only a light sprain it's usually pain and stiffness?

I suspect Vinicius may well require tag wrestling swaps, our full back whoever he is might get a yellow card and we can't afford to go down to 10 men!
