Looking back at the draw. I was sat with my twins and said "right this is your first last eight draw of the CL" gave them both a kiss on top of their heads and said "give us luck"

Now they're starving.:klin:

Barca's defense is shit, and their midfield is nowhere near what it used to be. I expect them to score in both games, but so will we. It might come down to away goals. We have a proud home record to protect; the last European home game we lost was against Bayern in the Quarters, and that was back in 2013. Let's keep the trend going. I'm gonna say 2-1 home win, and 3-2 away loss.

I'd be tempted to deploy a 3-4-3, with BBC in defense (maybe Rugani instead of one of them), Cuadrado on the right, Sandro on the left, Pjanic and Marchisio in midfield, with Dybala and Mandzukic supporting Higuain. Depending on the result of the 1st game, we can even go 3-5-2 in the away leg, with Dani Alves starting.

that was unfortunate, we are disqualified, our team is stronger and we could go past most if the teams of this stage, but not Barca's refs. It will both be a morale and financial blow, we will lose starters in the summer, but at least Bonucci and Dybala will get a chance to prove their worth in their next destination, they where kind of desperate to do so, good luck to them...

A 343 against Barca doesn't strike me as a great idea :D

BM is the strongest team. Atlético took him out twice in three years. RM is the current champion and their main rival. Of course they r happy, but deep down they all know their team is nothing but normal. We r better than them

Hope Alex Sandro can turn into his usual beast mode for this game. Barca's RB is their weak point and Mandzukic+Alex Sandro can really tear a new one for their RB.

I think they might switch up to a back 3 for our game though.

"I feel alot more comfortable playing 3 at the back against a team like Juventus than one like Dortmund whom would burn us with their pace on the counter. Their team is nothing special, they're just lucky the Milan teams are going through a rough patch. Then again this team isn't all that great either and are capable of losing to any team on a given night."

That's something that could be said of Inter 2006 - 2010, where they got rid of their rivals. Juve though went from Serie B to a CL final in a very short time, that says as much about this club as the Milano teams' collapse (their own fault) say about theirs. Juventus is there through merits while the other two are where they belong until they prove otherwise

Barcelona have been inconsistent. A better managed team would have put them out in a position PSG were after the first leg. It kind of sucks those games happened though cause they also show Luis Enrique their weaknesses and also will give them belief what ever happens in the first leg (Turin). They will feel they can beat anyone at Nou Camp now. With or without refs (The Luis Suarez pen was not a penalty).

However, after the PSG comeback they went and lost to Deportivo in the weekend. Once again showing they have issues there, they arent the Barca of the past. This team has problems. But if they keep losing points in la liga, CL will become the only target.

Allegri needs to play it smart going into those games. He needs to do some rotation/resting for sure. The problem is we have a very short bench attacking wise now to rotate with all of Mandzu-Dybala-Higuain and even Cuadrado starting.

Let's revert to 3-5-2 for a game or two, allowing our attacker(s) to rest and giving marchisio and El general more play time.
