Or we cut the defeatist attitude and go out there and make something happen. Genuinely believe we can get a result tonight. Nobidy gets an easy 3 points against Celtic.

 

This is what it is all about- going to the biggest and best team on the planet and giving it your best shot. Honestly who knows what might happen football is a funny old game but a 2-0 loss tonight would be a good result for me. Great being back in the big time though- its been badly missed.

 

Mats was given medical green light today, the above predicted lineup is from the local paper - by no means definitive

Squadlist:

Mats, Cillessen
Pique, Mascherano, Roberto, Alba, Digne, Umtiti
Rakitic, Iniesta, Busquets, Rafinha, Gomes
Arda, Messi, Suarez, Neymar, Paco

Obviously the team is there to try and make something happen, we'll never give up. The fans need to realise what we're up against though.

 

Barca looked out of sorts at the weekend. We looked good.

This is a chance to get a result here. We should go for it.

 

I fancy a few quid on both teams to score. It will more than double yer money. Barca ain't the greatest at the back.

Could do with Suarez having a chew on someone and getting himself sent off!

 

* it, let's just pump Barca 3-1.

 

Course. Don't think anyone is under any illusions about how difficult tonight will be.

 

I think it's a bit too hopeful to expect them to rest the majority of their team again mate :smiley-laughing002:

 

Over the 90 mins we are well aware that anything can happen, if the gods are with us and the get and early red card or big moussa decides he is going to shaft their arses and repeat his hat-trick feat.

It is essentially a win - win situation here we are expected to get turned over, and a narrow defeat would be heralded like a victory so we have really no pressure.

Im intrigued by what Brendan will do what shape we will have, will we try to contain or try to play our high pressing game. A lot will depend on what Barca do for sure but we need to be good on the ball when we get it and release our attackers as quickly as possible.

Brendan's style pretty much seems to be an aggressive, attacking one, will he seriously curb that tonight or throw caution to the wind?

 

That is not a defeatist attitude.

I WANT Celtic to come away from the Camp Nou tonight with some sort of glory, but I am certainly not expecting anything.

I am being realistic bud.

 

Had a dream last night about this game, was weird as *.

It was the Camp Nou but it was in space, floating. It had masive electronic screens going round. Our fans were there - loads of them.

And I'm certain we drew, because I remember thinking - aye, thats because of the fans. :smiley-laughing002:

It's going to be 1-1 or 2-1/3-1 to them I think, unfortunately.

 

Nah I wasn't having a dig at you man even though it sort of comes across that way

 

Other thing is we need to conserve energy as it will be warm over there tonight. Chasing shadows knackers you- spent years doing this myself!

 

An early bath for any Barca player would be certainly be a great benefit to us, but even with 10 men it will be extremely difficult.

Im hopefull of taking something from the game, optimistic even but im well aware of the massive task that lies head but we can be heartened by the performances of smaller teams in the euros, particularly the ones that are our near neighbours.

It is almost unimaginable for us to go there and win but it's not impossible.
