Timberrrrrrrrrr!

samthegooner

Vinicius is the exact type of winger that White struggles with. Timber on the other hand has bottled up similar profiles all year (Barcola comes to mind specifically).

It should be MLS - Gabriel - Saliba - Timber and I don't think you should give that much of a second thought.

Yup, that entire back four and GK gonna be in for one hell of a ride!

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

samthegooner I agree but Myles needs to cut out the rash challenges.

DKGooner

samthegooner Wouldn't start MLS particularly for the first leg. It is a huge game and easily see him getting an early yellow. Would prefer to start Calafiori or Zinchenko and bring on MLS later in the game.

samthegooner

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert He strikes me as the type of player that will rise to the occasion and know it's a huge match and opportunity for him to put his stamp on it. Whereas in some of these other matches, I feel like he already felt he belonged and got a bit too comfortable. This one will be a supreme challenge and I hope he approaches it like that. Physically he can definitely bully Rodrygo but he will need to be careful on being rash.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

samthegooner his potential is elite, and he'll no doubt either become a regular at LB or somewhere in midfield long term.

Don Pacifico

MistaT I'm a big fan of White but he was pretty awful last night. Exposed quite a few times in the first half. Would be concerned if we were playing Madrid next week.

If he gets some England games under his belt, it may help his recovery very though as w do need to be able to rest Timber.

MistaT

Don Pacifico -- I've got plenty of time for White, but I think we'll see him struggle through the rest of the year. That was a lengthy break and he won't be up to top speed until next year and also until Saka returns.

DKGooner Zinchenko vs Real would be a blood bath. I think people are way over reacting to one deserved red card, one absolute bullshit red card and a couple of soft yellows.

Claudius

Zinchenko’s mistakes have looked no different to MLS and Calafiori. He’s just played the position longer. It’s a tough role.
My preference is MLS. I like Zinny as relief in midfield when we are tired. The second leg, for example, could go into extra time

Qwiss

Claudius it is a tough role but MLS and Cala are both better in defence and going forward than Zinny is. I expect given a run MLS is a far better midfielder too.

Claudius

Qwiss MLS and Cala are better players probably. And they’re still both super young. They’re going to be a big part of why we win champs league this year

QuincyAbeyie

Timber will be a great player attacking-wise eventually. Feels like he's just cautious while figuring things out. That he's actually great defensively is a great surprise for me personally from what (little) I saw of him at Ajax, where his main strength seemed to be ball carrying.

tazmania

Timber will start against real because white isn't fit. If he was, I would throw timber at lb and white at rb. Especially if Saka is back. The White Saka chemistry is too good.
Reals wingers deserve respect

Burnwinter

tazmania The White Saka chemistry is too good.

Can't fathom why people are all "why's Ødegaard's end product dropped off?" when his three biggest links in the side have all been injured for months

Coombs

Burnwinter but what about his balls?

Burnwinter

Coombs The age old question

Sicario2

Love this guy

Can’t wait to see him go up against Real

JazzG

Guy has been superb, in attack I think White offers us more but defensively he is better.

Sicario2 Can’t wait to see him go up against Real

I'm confident whatever side he plays he'll hold things down, it is the other side I am worried about!

Mirth

This guy is so good and so consistent there's actually nothing to say about him. Mentally resilient as well. Pocketed Vinicius across two legs without breaking a sweat.

Plus there's more to come - it's his first full season.

Sicario2 - you can see it here. He's incredible - had he stayed fit last year we would have won the league.

Qwiss

Mirth the little chip into Saka for that shot across the goal was a bit of magic too. If that goes in we talk about that pass for months

est

Mirth had he stayed fit last year we would have won the league.

There is absolutely no doubt. And it hurts like hell.

JazzG

Mirth Could honestly put him against any wide player and you'd trust him to come out on top, Vin Jr is a live wire and didn't get a sniff against Timber over both legs. Against PSG Timber will again be crucial in shutting down Barcola/Doue.
