    If it's 0-0 in the Nou Camp with 20mins to go, whatever you are doing it is clearly working, and that would go for any team in world football. To change that would be madness.

    Don't know why by keep thinking about first time we played in CL under MON. September 2001, Juventus away. Juve were one of THE teams in Europe at the time and no one gave us a chance. We came back from 2-0 down to 2-2, when in 89th minute they got a very questionable penalty to win the game. My head says we will get nothing but praise for the way we played so just sit back, enjoy the fact that we're in the CL and enjoy, but my heart .....it's that old wishful thinking, shouting at the TV, feeling.

    By very questionable do you mean an outright dive? That was a shocking decision that night and we got robbed.

    I would take losing 2 nil right now. As long as we don't repeat that 6-1 drubbing, or an embarrassing scoreline like that, I'll be content.

    They basically rested their full team at the weekend right ? I know we took it easy in the last 30 minutes on Saturday but we still have travelling on top of that so will be very hard game.

    Packing the midfield is obviously key. Think McGregor in for Rogic would be the only change to make as he offers more energy and defensive cover. Sinclair & Forrest are going to have to be at the very top of their game.

    Edit - Wonder if he's considering Armstrong. Maybe brought him on at the weekend to get him a bit of match sharpness.

    They didn't rest their full squad for this, they were nursing injuries and fatigue after the Intl break

    With the surprising loss on the weekend, I expect a response - especially in CL

    * name was Amoroso as well. Still get mad thinking about that.

    Re the original point, Juve were one of Europe's best teams at the time but the current Barca team are head and shoulders above every other team in europe bar 2. Back in 2001 there were 10-15 clubs who could realistically win the Champs League, I'm not sure it's comparable.

    We also got done on a dodgy pen in the 03/04 CL away to Lyon in our last match, to lose 3-2. Still * raging about that.

    If they had fatigue they were rested.

    Which players were injured ?

    I expect a response as well. Sadly for us.

    Difficult team selection for this, will Gamboa get his debut and how many attackers Brendan will play?

    Messi, Suarez, Gomes, Mats, Iniesta and Mascherano were all nursing injuries - some from prior to Alaves, some during I-break

    Even Neymar was just coming back from summer holidays & the Olympics and hadn't played yet for Barcelona this season or pre-season

    Fully expecting us to get absolutely mullered tonight. I think a lot of people are getting slightly embarrassingly carried away with the weekend's result.

    Remember we were extremely lucky to get past Hapoel and we have been very poor in a couple of the league games this season - it's just that we can get away with playing terribly in the SPL. If you don't believe me, look at the chat for the games this season.

    Barca have had 1 big off game, but their quality is disgusting. Messi is finally slowing down. It used to be that EVERY time he got the ball something would happen; no misplaced passes, a couple of players beaten, a chance created, but he is starting to lose possession and try through balls that are not on.

    They also have a more varied style now and can play a variety of ways. So sorry to be that guy, but I fear the worst.

    On another note, anyone have Sportsmania and use it with Kodi?
