So, in all the line up guesses this week...did anyone foresee this one?

No Aguero and Zabba and Kolorov at right and left back.

It's going to be interesting that is for sure.
 
Maybe the thinking is this line up offers a very fluid, interchangeable attacking midfield, able to keep possession for extended periods and where each player takes a defensive role when required too. Plus it makes it potentially more difficult for Barcelona to crowd out an isolated forward, which they've done effectively each time we've played them recently.
 
Presumably De Bruyne as a false nine? Although I guess Nolito or Sterling could play that role too.
 
Whatever line up we put out is is always going to be a tough game over there. I can see why he has done this but whether it works is a different matter especially with the two glaring weaknesses we have in the side
 
Relax people, we're clearly playing no striker for a reason, I highly doubt Pep would have just thrown De Bruyne uptop with no clear instructions. Only problems I see are our fullbacks.
 
Not happy with that team.I`m amazed that Kola starts and Sergio is on the bench.Can`t see much firepower up front.I don`t mind being shot down in flames but I worry about tonights team,which I normally accept as the managers decision.Can`t help feeling a slight disappointment,but hopefully Pep will prove how much fucking more he knows about football than I do.Fingers crossed.
