Barcelona (H) Pre-Match Thread

I'd have dropped Zaba myself and stuck Dihno at RB.

Enough with dinho at RB it's a waste of his talent

Maffeo is a kid learning his trade,he won't be playing in games like this till next season,if he makes it that is

I'd be more confident with maffeo defending agaisnt neymar than zaba. Throwing him in agaisnt Barca is probably a bit to much though.

He's not as good as the other options.

The other option being Kolarov!

 

[SWP's back]

He is not on the bench tonite

That's me back in my box!

Sooooooo many tourists here tonight. I'd say a good proportion arent here hoping for a City win.

Messi. Messi. Messi

Who would protect the back four then ,?

Barca aren't really gonna be troubling us with their bus parking.

FFS This could be any pre-match thread. It's the fucking same every game.
Moan and moan. Just watch the match and do try and enjoy it.
I'm sure football is not the game, for a few on here.

Going by how we play sometimes with our fullbacks, if I were to write it down on paper it looks more like a
2341

The 2 CBs are farthest back
The 2 fullbacks Flanking the DM to form a 3
The 2 wingers flanking the 2 AMs
And a striker

Looking at it from that view, I want the speed and tenacity of Clichy and Dihno flanking Silly just ahead of Ota and John. I'd rather a better with the ball player than Clichy but that's the best we've got Right now. Gundogan in the middle of that 3.

That's how I'd play it. Few agree or see it's value, but I'm okay with that.

Permanently, you are right. For this game against this team, I think it would be a fantastic plan.
