I'd play four in central midfield with Silva as a number 10 off Aguero dropping back into midfield when we haven't got the ball. Two Ferns in centre, Nasri on the right Milner on the left to double up where necessary against Messi. That formation can work as long as we get men forward to help Aguero when necessary. Can't leave him isolated.

My only worry about this game is if we manage to finish 11 vs 11. They are a world class diving team, Neymar and Suarez will be experts on doing that and Zabs or Vinnie are (sadly) player that can be tricked really easy.

Regarding the tactial part of the game, it will be interesting to see. Not that often we have teams that come to our ground and play football and Barcelona will NOT park the bus tonight, they have no idea how to do that. We will have a lot of spaces, but a lot of problems behind.

I would play Fernando and Fernandinho and push Yaya behind Sergio.

We could always play no strikers....

Iniesta was the main diver last time imo, & one of the main reasons I finally saw my arse with the Champions League. I'd watched him play so many times & admired his play so much in recent years; seeing what a cheating little cunt he is close up, with everything else, Platini, the ref, & how fucking boring Barca were & scared we were, seeing Iniesta was the final straw with the whole thing. Not been to a champs lg game since.

My mate is going on my card tonight.

Still passionately hope we win though obviously. Just don't want to be sat there if that little cunt or that fucking Suarez manage to con us out of a win.

I can remember at least 6 times when someone just took the ball from him and he just fell on the floor and threw his arms out. Every time the ref blew for a foul. If the correct decision would have stood we were away on the break.
Cheating barsteward he is. Totally agree with you Ted, he is a player I have admired for years, until he did the Tom Daley show at the Etihad.

I think Pellers should go for a 10-10-0 formation. Put 6 players on Messi, 2 on Neymar, 2 on Suarez and we should be good

I think having 20 outfield players on the pitch might give us a shot.

2 keepers?
