CL | Round 1: FC Barcelona - Bayern Munchen 0-3

[Bobo32]

Confirmed 5ATB again then. I think it is justifiable as they have what 5 attackers missing (6 with the unregistered Collado?) so not really that much of a choice.

Busi and Pique again starting against a physical team.

Be same as last season when took out FDJ from back three.

Will be three CBs against one striker and getting outnumbered in midfield.

The CBs will struggle to pass ball into midfield and defer to MATS who will punt up park to De Jong to try and take ball down or win fouls.

 

[Devils]

Visca Barca! Visca Catalunya!

 

[JamDav1982]

Pique to spend 90 minutes trying to move other players about so he does not have to defend anyone one on one and Busi charging about 20 yds out of position for a DM and diving to win fouls rather than try to play out under pressure.

Nothing changes.

Could have betted on that line-up.

The line up was predictable. Obviously hoping to contain Bayern because it’s not a side very capable of creating much offensive trouble.

It's not a side capable of anything really. Fingers crossed.

Definitely we can win this game. Looking forward

It's good that neither Dest nor Lenglet are starting. Aside from the questions about the starting 11, it's sad to go into a game against Bayern with this type of bench.

Should we be playing Barca B players instead? Mingueza and that CDM dude?

Demir, Gavi, Puig, Coutinho, Mingueza, Dest .. all potentially can influence the game if they are having a good day

 

[Andresito]

We are like the Bayern side we played in 2009 with Butt, Lell and Oddo lol

Honestly, it is the best possible line up considering the injuries.
