Barcelona (H) Pre-Match Thread

must win

barca shouldnt care too much about this. they should be more focused for sevilla at the weekend.

No way. They always concentrate on the Champions League

They are not playing well in the league. Struggled again at the weekend according to reports, but I reckon they could be more dangerous on the counter away from home. I wasn't hugely impressed with them away from home. We beat ourselves. They had great individual technique that saw them take advantage of errors, but at half time I thought we could draw or even beat them.

I'd be very happy with a point. If we want to win the group, we have to beat them, but a point will go a long way to qualifying and if we qualify we can't play them in the next stage. Who else is there to worry about? Chelsea, Arsenal, City and Barca look like the best teams. Real Madrid and Bayern as well, but I don't think they are as good as they were. Main task is just to qualify.

I would play:

-----------------Willy
Sagna---Stones---Kompany---Clichy
------------Fernandinho
---Nolito----KDB---Silva--Sterling
----------------Aguero

To win the group we need to win 5-0 and hope they don't win one of their last 2 games. A win would take a bit of pressure off the BM game with qualification out of our hands if we lose the latter.

Not too stressed about winning the group, we'll just get Madrid or Munich if we do.

Are we going to listen to Peps request and stop booing the CL anthem?

Seems to me the booing made it's point - I for one feel like getting behind the lads on a big Euro night, these are the nights we wanted when we were sh_t - now we have them let's start enjoying them!

PS I am fully aware of the reasons for the booing and wholeheartedly agree that UEFA are corrupt beyond reproach - but lets do it for the team! F_ck UEFA :)

Dortmund still play away to Real Madrid, so if Madrid win they are likely to go through, same with Atletico still going to Munchen - however no easy games from he four of them. With Leicester winning their group, Arsenal looking likely and spurs having a good chance, the best we can hope for is Napoli, Juve or Sevilla. Last 16 is going to be very tough.

never thought I'd ever say this but I think we'll win this. We outplayed them last time (two mistakes cost us the match) and I think we'll be stronger again this time around 2-1 city.

I actually think it might be more difficult for us playing them at home. If its 0-0 at half time I might start to fancy our chances, but I do worry that we'll concede early on, either from a breakaway or a defensive clanger.
