Dybala and Marchisio out well this is officially over!
We still have Pogba, Cuadrado, Morata, Mandzukic...

Those are all the players that can decide a game with one move.

If we keep the defence tight and do everything not to get pinned back with their pressing - we have a chance.

It ain't over until it's over.

I'm torn on this now. Without Dybala we need Cuadrado on otherwise we have absolutely zero creativity. Too robotic.


Buffon
Licht-Barzagli-Bonucci-Sandro
Khedira-Sturaro-Pogba
Cuadrado-Zaza-Morata​

All out attack with support from Terminator 1 on the left and Terminator 2 Judgement Day on the right.
I like this.


Which means that Allegri will end up playing Hernanes instead
Newsflash fellas, Hernanes is considerably better choice as regista/holding mid then Sturaro or Khedira, its just too obvious.

I dont get why the same fallacies are repeated every time Marchisio is injured, thinking likes of Asamoah/Sturaro/Khedira can do that role, when they cant, not equipped for it at all (can you imagine Sturaro holding into the ball and distributing it from static position? :lol: ). Its Marchisio - Lemina and Hernanes for that role, and there is a very good reason Allegri never played anyone else there (except ghost performance by Padoin). Its not as simple as CM = Central midfielder, so should be able to do whats needed for regista/holding mid.

Well Marchisio and Dybala missing sucks. But fuck it. Things aew like this and we should fight till the end.

Some thoughts for the game: Firstly, Rugani should not start. It's a very dangerous game that can go easily wrong with lack of experience. Secondly, this is the one game of the year (till now) that Sturaro definitely has to be in the starting 11. A 4-4-2 would be really fragile with only 2 people at the centre. On the other hand, a 4-3-1-2 would focus a lot on an unready Pereyra leaving out a very in form Cuadrado. And we need Cuadrado a lot in this game as he can make something out of nothing.

Personally I would go for a 4-3-3 Manchester city like approach. Morata or Pereyra on the left depending how much we want to defend and on how fit Mandzukic is. Sturaro, Khedira and Pogba in the centre and it starts to look not very bad..

If we see the same pussy tactics as the first leg, we're out. Got to go for broke, attack them at their weak cbs and put them on the backfoot.

Pogba to score three and cement his status as world class midfielder.

I guess that means my prediction is 0-3.

Still Dybala wasnt so crucial for us in CL, we can do this with out him! with him and Marchisio on the field we were almost destroyed in the first legs first half, we will see how the other guys cope with this pressure

Ok, and whats your real prediction after this show of bravado has calmed your tits?
I think we have a shot at this. Bayern are a great team, but they're not the freak side they once were. I think Barcelona are far superior to them. With a full squad I honestly believe we are stronger than them. Somehow we didn't believe in ourselves at home though and that's probably going to haunt us tomorrow. The way I see it we'll need at least two goals. With Dybala out that's going to be tough.
