Based on what we’ve been led to believe are the likely available players:

Lloris*
Trippier** Alderweireld Vertonghen^ Rose
Wanyama Dembele
Lucas Lamela Eriksen***
Kane

Gazzaniga Sanchez Dier Winks Sissoko Son Llorente
* if still injured, Gazzaniga in with Whiteman on the bench.
** If Aurier is fit, put him in instead and give Trippier a bench spot instead of Sissoko
*** If still injured, put Son in with Davies getting on the bench.
^ If injured then Sanchez in for him with Kyle Walker Peters on the bench.

If we start Davies I think I'll cry. He's been pretty crap the entire season so if Poch thinks it's a good idea to start him against Messi then we're fucked.

Shame Aurier got a knock, as we could really do with the his last performance reproduced in this game.

Depending on returning players I’d start with this and somehow try and stay in the game:

Lloris
Trippier Toby Sanchez Jan Rose
Wanyama Dembele
Lamela Eriksen
Kane​

Gazzaniga, Davies, KWP, Dier, Winks, Lucas, Son

Then you have serious impact players for a counter attacking last 30 mins in Lucas and Son.

Against Barca we have to play with ether Son or Lucas, they are very vulnerable to the quick counter. We can beat them, they are hugely out of form at the moment and look very shaky in defence, but we can not loose the ball in our half. I will be extreamly worried if we play Dier as a DM, if he counties to miss place as many passes as he have been in the last few games then we will get destroyed. Apart from that it’s all about marking Messi out of the game.

As much as I think we’re getting spanked in this one, it’s Barca in the champions league. Let’s look forward to it!

Bit early to say before we have team news, reckon there's a good chance Eriksen is still out and I assume we went with tree at the back for a reason today - again, is player fit? Vertonghen?

Barca BEWARE - I want us to unleash hell and destroy the ****s but I will get well drunk beforehand so i dont comprehend the beating they give us if that materialises

I think we will win 4-2 - Kane will get a hattrick

Ok; so I highly doubt we will keep a clean sheet so my obvious solution isnt really a solution but merely to accept that and just go gung ho - fuck defending. Throw all our attackers and just pounce on their frail defending.

Maybe get Sissoko on to knock out Messi.

ps I have a feeling Sissoko will play by the way

IMO, Lamela didn't play against Huddersfield because Pochetino is playing mind games with him. He wants Lamela to feel like he has something to prove and is planing to unleash him full time against Barcelona. I'm predicting this starting line up:

................................... Lloris ................................
Trippier ......... Toby....... Dier/Jan ........ Rose
.................. Dembele .... Wanyama ...............
Moura ................. Lamela ....................... Son
................................... Kane ..................................
