Special Juan 28,369 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Neto defo starts this, over Estevao possibly unless Maresca goes with Estevao in the 10 with Garnacho and Neto wide Sanchez, James, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucu, Caicedo, Enzo, Neto, Garnacho, Estevao, Pedro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,512 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Barca have only won away to us on one of eight previous attempts in Europe (D2 L5): a 2-1 victory in February 2006. However, since 2013-14, they have only lost two of their nine away games against English sides in the Champions League (W6 D1). That was to Citeh and Klopps Liverpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,674 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 I'm thinking we need pace to counter since they play high line. I will think about garnacho and neto are good for this. OhForAGreavsie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmedou 212 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 I'm going to see the game with my bro who's a Barcelona fan. He was trolling me during the last 3 years. Then I became a World Champion. He's trolling me during the last past months. Then I'll be the winner of this game tonight inchallah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,039 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Think it’ll be Reece in midfield, Gusto at RB, and Enzo in the #10 behind João Pedro. Neto & Garnacho wide. People are going to rage about Estevão not starting but I think Maresca just loves him and his work rate/defensive effort. Barca’s defense can definitely be gotten at if we’re really on it like we have been in other big games under Maresca. We have to bring serious intensity though and not show up scared and/or sluggish. If we get the super intense Chelsea we saw against PSG or Liverpool or Spuds we can absolutely win this. As incredible as Barca can be in attack, they rarely keep clean sheets. If Palmer were 100% I’d be SUPER confident here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceboy 1,040 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Rumors are that Palmer is in hotel with the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,369 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 False 9, your Chelsea Sanchez, Fofana, Chalobah Cucu, James, Gusto, Caicedo, Estevao, Enzo, Garnacho, Neto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,039 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Oh, wow. False 9 definitely wasn’t on my bingo card. Maresca going for maximum unpredictability and fluidity I guess? I actually don’t hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,039 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Biggest worry is Trev at LCB. For me he looks really poor there. Struggled often even against Burnley the other day. Him being on Yamal’s side helping our Cucu is concerning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prime adriano 27 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Maybe way to go moving forward with our poor striking options , palmer over neto possibly. If this works and we buy a CB we might have a good team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,674 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 James in midfield is why I definitely want someone to be bought like Elliot or Wharton. We can't keep having that if we want to take the best big step in quality. mkh and prime adriano 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
