CL | Round 4: Inter - Barca 1-1

[eaman]

Why take the risk? Dembele should be given the chance in this high profile fixture.

Because it's a high profile fixture you take the risk. We haven't qualified yet. If we lost think is and lost the psv game we might end up having to play a nerve jangling game against spurs. Messi might be the difference in getting a draw or a win

Semedo-Pique-Lenglet-Jordi
Roberto-Vidal-Busi/Raki-Arthur
Demble-Suarez

This is what I hope to see. Assuming it will be Vidal on the bench for Raki though.

Since when we have PSG in the group?

It was a non-leg injury which doesn't cause complications or needs smooth restart so won't mind if messi starts but I would prefer if he doesn't.

Let him rest.. Dembbele needs minutes. Its preferred to risking messi being out for more games afterwards IMH.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

This the perfect game to go for a rather cautious approach, a 5 man midfield and total control of the ball instead of focusing on scoring. And the way Suarez is playing the last couple of weeks he will likely to do his thing up top anyway.
We did enough in the first games to be happy with a dominating performance on the ball that could end with a draw but of course it is necessary to risk Messi...

 

[Joan]

In Messi doesn't start, I'm expecting Roberto.

 

[FCBfan22]

I expect a 4-5-1 shithousery from Ernie. Nothing less. Maybe even 4-6-0, since Inter is better than Rayo.


Balance.

 

[Andresito]

Yeah I also believe Semedo and Roberto will start.

Should have looked what predictive text wrote. Anyway obviously meant psv

There's rest and then there's too much rest. If Messi doesn't play he will have only played 1 full game in the last 5 weeks and if he doesnt play a full game against betis it will be 1 in 7 weeks with the international break. If Messi is fit he should play because inter are better than rayo and he would be the freshest player out there

 

[PhilS]

If Messi breaks a fall again with that arm, and the bones are not sufficiently nitted, re-breaking it could put him out of action for quite a long time. I only want to see him back on the field when he is medically ready.

 

[serghei]

Only idiots would actually allow Messi to play in this game if not 100% recovered.

 

[xXKonan]

Messi didn't make the bench either.

 

[Andresito]

Messi didn't make the bench either.

God damn you're fast
