EL: Manchester United - FC Barcelona (4-3)

[Neeraj]

Is that official? Expected lineup given players available. Prefer this to playing Ferran. Try to keep control and somehow get a goal through some set piece/individual quality/against the run of play. With 4-3-3 + Ferran we'd get ripped open + have a toothless front 3 to boot.

 

[Barcaman]

Not too optimistic with that midfield but then again anything can happen.

Vamos Barca

[serghei]

Best we got considering 3 of our best 5 players in midfield and attack are out.

 

[Porque]

11 is fine as long as the setup is correct. Ie the 4 mids compact and outnumbering the Man U mid. Which is what Xavi will do with the width provided by Balde.

None of that Ernie bollocks where he played 4 mids flat across the line and more space in between than a prostitutes you know what.

 

[Zidane82]

Possibly

Ter Stegen, Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Jordi Alba, Busquets, de Jong, Kessie, Sergi Roberto, Raphinha, Lewandowski.

Sounds like this IS actually the team

4:4:2

 

[Gari]

But Xavi said he doesn't play 4-4-2))) Nothing changes. Every new coach puts his hopes on old players. You have to look at previous results. We can’t score, Xavi doesn’t consider this problem at all. I hope for the defensive line and Stegen.

 

[ZenI]

With Pedri and Dembele, maybe... without them I'm not very optimistic

 

[Horatio]

[MENTION=20218]Horatio[/MENTION], will you bet on Barca to advance?

Not betting today.

 

[JerseyAddict]

Strange lineup ihmo.

Strange lineup ihmo.

Roberto LW on paper. Will likely act on mf.

Roberto LW on paper. Will likely act on mf.

I also think hr will act as some "midfielder" with Kessie and Busi. The Q is will FDJ be pushed more forward like some link between mids and fws or will we play in classic f* 442 :/

 

[fergus90]

Barca would do very well to get a result here tonight, a tie fit for the Champions League between two historic clubs. Lets go!

 

[mc_lovin]

Team would look twice as good with either Pedri or Gavi.

Kessie, Frenkie and Busquets together looks too heavy and clumsy.

 

[Blackened]

Roberto as a winger?? Well, hope this will work. Weghorst is the weak link for ManU. Other than him, the whole team oozes class.
