CL | Round 4: Manchester City - FC Barcelona 3-1

[serghei]

Rafinha has earned his place in this starting 11. Until he either has a bad game or Arda/Gomes step up their game, he should be the man in Iniesta's role for the time being.

Arda has been very good this season. He has 5 goals and 4 assists, averaging more than 1 goal/assist every 90 mins played.

Arda has been very good this season. He has 5 goals and 4 assists, averaging more than 1 goal/assist every 90 mins played.

Arda has been very good playing forward. I'd say Rafinha has been better in midfield.

I'm sure both will play, either starting or off the bench. And Denis will come on as a sub, for sentimental reasons.

 

[Keki]

i don't care who plays as long as we don't loose PL team , papers here will make them out to be Invincibles for god sake.

 

[jairzinho]

Are the lineups out as yet ?

 

[Devils]

The game starts an hour later (for me at least) due to time change.

It's great because I don't have to miss the first half due to work.

Away kits, oh boy...

Barca line-up vs City: Ter Stegen, Roberto, Umtiti, Mascherano, Digne, Gomes, Busquets, Rakitic, Messi, Suarez, Neymar #fcblive

Gomes playing.

 

[serghei]

Good. We need to give Gomes some games like this.

 

[Luftstalag14]

Likely very little creativity and the ability to support MSN today from our midfield today since none of them tends to drive the ball forward. But if they can help out with defense at least, I'd be content.

 

[Devils]

No Arda or Paco

Paco must be contemplating his career decisions at this point.

 

[KiX7777]

So Messi in midfield incoming

 

[El Flaco]

 

[snowy]

Awesome match coming up!

 

[Sali]

No Arda or Paco

Paco must be contemplating his career decisions at this point.

Don't think he expected anything else than this tbh, he was even smiling like crazy on the bench when the Valencia fans chanted "Alcacer sal del banquillo".

 

[Barcilliant]

Let's see what Gomes does. Big game. Time to step up.
