What do you guys say about playing a 3-5-2 against Barcelona?
The only teams that have beat Napoli recently (Aside from Real) are Atalanta and Juve, who both played a 3-5-2 and it kept the tiny Napoli attackers relatively quiet. You might have noticed that Napoli immediately stopped scoring and getting chances when we switched to 3 at the back last game. Barcelona will most likely play a similar 3-man attack, so stacking the middle will go a long way to keeping their small framed attackers at bay. It means probably benching Cuadrado, but he could be even more effective when introduced after the break. Real Betis and Malaga kept the Barca attacks at bay this season by playing 3 at the back too.

Our defenders are being arrogant and lazy in Italy which is more understandable considering 6 straight scudetti and two straight CIs.
However, we have allowed 2 goals in 8 CL games. Best in the competition by far, Atletico is second with 4 conceded. I doubt we see the same lazy and careless attitude from our experienced Italian CBs in the CL, and the season so far bears that out.
Have a little faith.

We are going to get falcon punched by Barcelona 
Lazy defending.
Player theatrics all over the pitch.
Slopping possession.
Dybala. Did we sell him in January?
Something about this team is different the last month. Can't put my finger on it.
