Whenever we have to play with one up top i would always go with Dzeko. Negredo is out of this world when he has a strike partner he can play off, but when he has to be the focal point he is nowhere near as effective. He may have the odd good game but overall he is poor. I can't wait until we go to the Camp Nou and i genuinely believe we can win this. Aguero, Nasri and Fernandinho will all be back and have some extra game time under their belts. We will go all out to win it and it is going to be an absolute thriller.Prestwich_Blue said:

Barely won a header, couldn't hold the ball and screwed up three or four times when we had good chances to score. Navas wasn't far behind in terms of ineffectiveness so you do wonder how much the reputation of Barca played on their minds, having both been playing in La Liga last season.
We might win but will it be enough? We do need 3 goals to overcome them.

Technically we just need 2
It effectively becomes 0-0 at that point

I thought Negrado worked his socks off tonight - not all of his work was rewarded with good chances but the Barca defence knew they were in a game. Unfortunately when Edin came on he didn't work hard enough for someone only tasked with 25 mins work. We just missed the movement of Sergio and I for one would have put on Jovetic who is more intelligent movement wise.
Edin played well when he came on!
Dzeko did decent, but as usual his touch was missing (understandable since he wears a brick for a boot).

Yes, we would have away goal then too. Forgot about that.
Obviously going through a dry spell. Needs a goal to bring the belief back. The return of sergio should help.neel said:Hes looking low on confidence

To be fair to Negredo, although he did not touch the ball much he did not give it away much and did set up five shots for team mates.
