Lucescu sets his teams up very stoutly in defense, difficult to break down - have to stretch the defense but that was not the case at Camp Nou under Koeman so hopeflly Barjuan has scouted better. The problem remains that Barca's only winger is Dembele and he is only now coming back from injury, hard to imagine him getting big minutes. If they leave it late, I sense squeaky bum time

The good is that despite the draw, Barca looked better against Alaves who were also difficult to break down

They defended very well as a unit last time, yes to use maximum width would probably be good.
Wouldn't Depay be better if he just stood on the sideline and waited until he had the ball at his feet, and then spammed crosses/shots or played very simply from there? I think Gavi, Nico, Frenkie, Busquets, yes even Puig now! could make good use of the extra space inside then.
