Team v Barcelona

[Mate]

So Barca won 4-0 in there derby , any idea on the lineup they’ll put out ?

Valverde's quotes after the game:

"We will see on Tuesday," Valverde added. "We respect the competition and we want to win the game and we will pick the lineup thinking about the needs of Barcelona, not Inter, thinking about winning."

They will definitely rest a few.

I wouldn't start Dele in this game.

Why not ?

It's really hard to take OP seriously...

They have abit of a hatred towards inter also. It will be tough for us , Barca’s second choice players always love to prove them selfs

but a handful of them are out of this game, no?

heres the list so far (not that some are 2nd choice)

- Luis Suarez - Samuel Umtiti - Sergi Roberto - Rafinha - Malcom - Arthur

Are those players banned ? Or are they fit to play

these players are out injured

 

[mattdefoe]

these players are out injured

Are you sure ? Because Suarez played last night

pull that off @lilywhite_rose on twitter (he posted it last week) so probably not the case now

could also be a case that they wanted him for the derby but wont risk him in our game as they've already advanced.

Not only did he play but he also scored in that game.

Personally i would play all the attacking big guns here and go for it. Put faith in them producing their best.

So very desperate to see this. This is actually a perfectly built team to face barcelona IMO. No point playing more dm's or big lads because barca are too good at passing around you. If lamela is not ready then moura on the right. Id save sissoko and winks for around 65mins.

Will be a entertaining night regardless. Please no conceding a goal after 2mins ffs

 

[punkisback]

Lloris
KWP Toby Verts Rose
Dier Winks
Son Eriksen Alli
Kane

KWP only fit RB apparently. I wouldn't start Sissoko he can't handle the press, it has to be Winks but with his ankles it may be a game to soon for him.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Why not ?

He doesn't much like Dele.

Eh? Did you see how he broke up Leicester's press yesterday? More so than Dier. Unless of course you are talking about the media (Press)

Even with the recent adulation he's received, most of the praise going Sissoko's way has still be begrudging and it still feels like people are waiting for him to screw up so they can jump on him.

Leicester are a completely different beast to Arsenal who he couldn’t play well against last week and Barca are on a completely different planet to both in terms of level. This is a game where we need precision passing and quick thinking. A few times yesterday if he had the ball out from under his feet he could have put a few players through; and the amount of times the ran ball out. We will get limited opportunities to score at the camp nou and we need people on the pitch in advanced areas who can pull off that pass. If he plays he is liable to gift the ball to the opposition or pass it out of play we cannot have this against a team the level of Barca. I say this with no hint of bile or bias but these are all constructive points that you can appreciate.

And what about Chelsea, who are at least as good as Arsenal and he had a stormer against?

Also, make no mistake, Leicester away is a fucking hard game, probably the hardest outside the ‘big 6’.

 

[JCRD]

I want us to unleash hell on these ****s.

Ill be honest I think the team picks itself but in terms of tactics, I hope to God we dont just sit back because theyll just control the ball and we wont get near them.

Im at peace with the CL finally, if we get knocked out I want us to focus on winning the league.

I hear what you are saying and whilst there is some merit in going brave, if we go too hung ho, conceding again after 2 minutes is exactly what could happen. A very fine balancing act.. .
