centre back for 2nd leg at camp nou

[aguero93:20]

we havent got 2 top class centre backs , so would 3-5-2 be a solution ? HART - ZABS , KOMPS , CLICHY - NAVAS , YAYA , DINHO , SILVA , MILNER - AGUERO , NEGREDO , 2 hard working wing backs to tuck in when we havent got possession , got to be worth a try , maybe rotate negredo and nasri , and play 3-5-1-1 for difficult away games.

God no, if we're playing 3 at the back at the very least we need Garcia in there to screen.

i was thinking yaya playing a deeper role , he did it brilliantly for barcelona ,

I'd imagine we'll go with Lescott to partner Kompany. With Demichelis unavailable, and Nastasic seemingly out of favour with Pellegrini (he hasn't done himself any favours with some very below par displays) it really does limit our options.

Pantilimon
Richards nastasic lescott clichy
Milner garcia rodwell lopes
Jovetic dzeko

Is the aim to get absolutely slaughtered? If so why not include Boyata?!

I wouldn't say our first XI would be too happy at being deprived their day out in the Nou Camp and a chance of revenge either tbh.

Forgot about boyata! He can play lb and give clichy a rest...

I was joking btw at some of the sheer pesimism in this thread ;)

Nasti or Bo. At least they both have pace and are solid.

Good idea.
Apart from:
a) Nastasic doesn't really have much pace
b) Boyata isn't really very solid<br /><br />-- Wed Feb 19, 2014 12:31 pm --<br /><br />I think Clichy or Zaba could move central and do a job against a small, nibble Barca attack. Possibly Clichy CB and Kolarov LB in favour of Zab CB and an out-of-form Richards at RB
