samptime29 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 No doubt we can hurt them like. They play a high line and we have pace to burn. Vital we take our chances though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Buzzing for this, think we'll gegenpress the shit out of them for the first half of each half, and have to try and stop them in the second half of each half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

South-Cheshire-Toon Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 As much as I admire everyone's optimism, being pragmatic with the recent away form we have been showing I'm truly expecting a tanking like Athletico did to Spurs in their first leg. Not that I wouldn't mind a win - but highly unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

500bhp Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Head says 3-1 or 4-1 defeat. Their home record and goal scoring ability is exceptional. Heart says win on pens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) I think it'll be apparent straight away that we're playing a very different team to the one we did last week. Their record at home is undeniable before even getting on to how they normally perform there. If we pull something off here, we're looking at a result and very likely a performance in and around the quality of the cup final.

Infinitely Content Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 4 hours ago, Muniesa said: Barca 11 all but locked: ----------Joan Eric-Cuba-Martin-Cancelo --------Pedri--Bernal -Lamine-Fermin-Rapha ----------Ferran 6 academy players, 9 Catalan/Spanish players. Flick is doing wonders with no budget and some of these names. Btw. Come and visit us for good banter at https://www.barcaforum.com/threads/cl-r16-game-2-barca-newcastle.21234/ That forum gave me a virus on my work laptop last year before the league stage game and I lost my job because of it.

Ronson333 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) Let’s have some confidence lads! PSG are better than this lot and we could/should have beaten them in their stadium in a game where both teams had to win. Eddie somehow motivates this team for big games, if we play like we did against PSG in the second half, we’ve definitely got a chance.

'UEFA official Francois Letexier is the man in the middle in Barcelona and has quite the reputation in his homeland. In 13 Ligue 1 matches this season, Letexier has brandished 61 yellows and five reds, whilst also awarding three penalties. Letexier also showed 16 yellow cards during three FIFA Club World Cup matches he ruled over last summer, but is yet to expel anyone in his six Champions League appearances this term.' Burn and Joelinton one yellow away from suspension. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Nothing will top the cup final, but if we progress here it will be close to that. They are like a machine at home, and I dont think we have much chance here (been wrong many times before). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
