Team with better fullbacks and midfield will win. Hopefully they rotate a lot and even then it will be tough.

the Moura / Son selection is the interesting one for me. I feel you want dele and eriksen on as both track back and offer some guile. Dele's ghosting is top notch and he's always a goal threat.

Son looks to be on song. whereas moura will be fresher. out of the two I think Son nudges it as he's a direct wing/goal threat despite moura scoring last time out.

the great news is one will come on from the bench and scare the be-jesus out of the barca back 4. I forsee it being Moura the son, which might be the wrong way round in, imho

Why does this club keep making us fucking cling on to hope?

Would this be our best result ever away in Europe?

who goes through if we both draw...

say we draw 0 - 0 and inter draw 5-5, do goals scored ever come into it, or are we always half a point ahead of them?

We would go through, we just need to match the Inter result (not score) as we have a better head to head due to scoring away against them.

I reckon there are two issues that are uncertain about the line up.

1) Will we play with 3 midfielders or two?
Does Sissoko playing nudge out Winks, or is Poch going for Sissoko, Dier, and Winks together. I can't see Sissoko being dropped for this one.

2) If we play with just two midfielders, who gets the nod to play with Kane, Eriksen, and Son? Alli is more likely, but Moura has pace and dribbling skills.

The rest of the team is pretty much picked outside of those issues, I reckon.

On form it has to be Son. I like Lucas but he hasn't yet shown he can be relied on. Great when he is in the game, non existent at other times.

The closer this game gets the more nervous excitement creeps in

This is how i think it'll pan out tonight.

We'll get hammered BUT.......

PSV will take the lead against Inter............





Only to then concede an injury time equaliser, which knocks us out.

Once a spursy, always a spursy.

Really looking forward to this game, I just want to see the lads go for it, not a scared performance where we end up in a Hugo, vert, davies panic pass triangle but really go at them. I think we need to be aggressive first 20 minutes, Put some tough but fair challenges in and make Barca not fancy it considering they don't have much incentive to roll around in the dirt with us.

In the words of the great Gary Wackett, LET'S FUCKING KILL 'EM

(Would honestly love to see Hugo punch a hole through the Nou Camp as the teams walk out :woot:)

If we both draw we go through. Goals scored are irrelevent because the first tiebreaker is head-to-head where we beat Inter on away goals.

Anyone expecting Barca to field a weakened team are just kidding themselves... Barca have few injuries anyway. I expect Messi , Dembele, Rakitic,Vidal, Busquets to play...

Whatever the final score in this game and in Milan, I just want us to play our best and give a performance we can be proud of.

What if we put in an absolutely shameful performance but win 6-0? Mixed feelings?
