I agree Milner needs to start instead of Fernando .GaudinoMotors said:If he plays both ferns we're in for a long night - If he's brave and plays Milner for Yaya Very Lite Fern we could get something.

Good job Barca are below average.

The only thing we will get from Milner playing instead of Fernando is an arse kicking.
Fernandinho has to be allowed to do what he is good at and that is look to intercept and buzz around the midfield. To do that effectively Fernando has to sit and cover. It's worked for us before, both domestically and in Europe. Milner is NOT a central midfielder. When played there he under performs, maybe given ten games in that position he'd show his worth but you don't play Milner in the middle of the park for this one. Personally I'd have him wide left with Nasri wide right and Silva in the hole. I think Pellegrini will look to bring Navas on later for an outlet of pace and the ball over the top as Barca's full backs play very advanced.

Got a good feeling about tonight, but don't want to get my hopes up.
I'd like to see us go for it a bit more than we did last year and the type of form Kun and Silva are in we will create a few chances!

Or at home to Bayern, who are probably a good bit ahead of Barca these days.

No - you're right, they didn't and I fully expect he'll pair them together tonight. Unfortunately good performances from both together are too few and far between.
It's also what Barca will be expecting too. Would be good to add a bit of dynamism, grit and spirit in the form of Milner.

I'll be happy with any score that means Barca have to score at the Nou Camp, if that makes sense
