and to you mate,but barca do not need luck,we need a lot lol

 

Today has been so slow!

 

Do you think they'll be any decent streams online for this? I can't really afford to be going to the pub to watch it, but if there's no good streams then I'm going to have to. Cheers in advance if anyone knows of any

 

o * my internet connection is playing up when i try to watch the spartak game on sky go it just buffers!! NOOO!!!

 

Still really annoys me we didn't beat Benfica at home.

 

Barca bet Spartak 3 2 at home we bet them 3 2 away we're clearly the better team

 

turn of the router and reconnect

 

i know , we did the really hard bit in moscow benfica were there for the taking at home .

 

look at the team we fielded that night,not an excuse,but never our strongest team

 

obviously why has no one else said this

 

At the time I was pretty happy with a point but after seeing how we played in Moscow I can only imagine how the game at CP could have gone with our strongest 11. I have this horrible feeling that'll be the game to come back and haunt us come Christmas.

 

Right, I've thought about it and it's been hard....time to drink (ha, just kiddin. Started a few hours ago).

Seriously though, my team selection. Very hard to decide. I was thinking, we'll play counter-attack, but try to keep it tight in midfield and pressure as much as we can.
So I was thinking hard graft in midfield; Ledley, Kayal, Wanyama, Brown. This was the hardest area to pick for me.
So my line-up would look as so:

Forster
Matthews Ambrose Mulgrew Izzy
Wanyama Kayal
Brown Ledley
Samaras
Hooper

I know, not most attacking, nor much width. Would love to pick Commons (who know's he probably will start). But for me, Brown is always going to be picked. Ledley is a must, as are Kayal and Wanyama (who btw as you can see will be playing just in front of of the Cb's). And all of which add a lot of energy and defensive, as well as offensive, attributes.

For counter attack, there is not many better than Sammy, and no one better to put them away than Hooper.

All I know is.....I'm absolutely buzzin
​

 

Do we know if Brown's fit then? I assumed he was injured because after the Wales game it was reported he would be out for 4 weeks.

 

Fairly certain he'll start.

 

Sure he'll get some game time. Might start even.
