3-4-3 is a shit system if you don't have rock solid defenders. I'd rather stick to 4-3-3. I'm hoping Messi stays on the right though. Marcelo needs to be contained.
Marcelo runs riot as Messi doesnt track back and they gamble on letting him go forward. It lets Ronaldo go more central as well.
The only time Barca have stopped that recently is when Roberto played RW and matched him.
Without a proper midfield or right back there is the danger in these games that Messi is Barcas biggest threat going forward and biggest weakness defensively. Have to take that risk I suppose in this game.
Maybe this time he will do better in defense as well. It's very important that he does so.
Why not playing with Arda in the place of Neymar as a LW instead of Alcacer?
It is a good line up...... Tackles many of our issues pretty well. However, Alcacar and Suarez should help the full backs on their side and when one of them is doing that - the other should be in the middle forming a 2 man attack with Leo for 1-2s. If their movement clicks well, it could turn out well.
A good line-up I would say, and it would have been perfect if Neymar played instead of Alcacar, but oh well, let's go for the kill. Have a feeling Lucho finally got his line-up right

He's coming back from injury. Hasn't played in a while.
