No Benatia please lord
You are talking like there is a big gap between him and Rugani who is actually on the same level...

Hope we change to 3-4-2-1 formation with 3CB Cuad and AS on the wings Khedira Pjanic in the middle and Dybala D.Costa supporting Higuain
I would have asked for 3 men midfield but this is probably too much to ask...

No Chiellini necessitates a 3 man midfield with both Matuidi and Marchisio; we need to protect that fragile/leaky/porous defense. A defensive unit comprised of Gramps, The Moroccan Malaise, The Milan Reject, The Disinterested Favella Boy, and protected by a midfield duo of Khedira and Pjanic is inviting disaster. We'll get massacred.

I was going to say that this is a game that we can definitely win, but it would be very very very hard if we use only Pjanic and Khedira in the middle of the park, as their efforts probably wont be enough to win the battle vs Barca`s midfield, and if/when Barca starts controlling the midfield, the pressure on our backline would be immense and eventually we will concede, probably more than once.

Now if we do start with a midfield 2, and our CB pair is Barzagli - Benatia, I think that this will be a walk in the park for Barca. Max should invent something, very very fast, otherwise we will leave everything for the last game in Athens. Hope it doesnt snow in Greece next month...

    In this case we should play Buffon in goal 8 defenders 1 midfielder and 1 attacker - Even then I see us conceding
    No Benatia please lord
    Is almost as if is meant to go from bad to worst tonight, i still had some hopes for a draw at least but now... :confused: :faq2:
    what about howedes?

    He is still not trusted. He needs at least four more years until he starts playing regularly or he has to change club.
    He is healthy from what I know but I doubt he will be thrown as a starter vs Barca in his first game for us
    The last time I looked at the calendar it said November, that's 4 more months until March.
