I can see them holding us to low-mid 50s possession at the Allianz Arena. I don't think they'll actually beat us possession-wise though. And I also think that we'll have at least 60% possession at Camp Nou. However, even though they are a possession team, even if they don't dominate possession...

Yeah, Bartra was pretty good against PSG. I'd pick him over Adriano too.

He's being played over Song now. Since Adriano's out, he'll be playing the 1st leg against Bayern. As for the 2nd leg, there's a chance of Masch and/or Puyol returning. If neither do, then I'm not sure whether it's going to be Adriano or Bartra.

I think it's the game at La Paz.

So... anyone have any idea how long he'll be out for?

Yeah, if there's a chance of him making it, he probably will. Wasn't he supposed to be out for at least 2 months earlier in the season? And he came back in 1 :worthy:

Busquets injured now too? :( Anyone know how long it should take for him to recover? Edit: I haven't seen anything about Busquets' injury except on Barcastuff... and they didn't give a source either...

This. It's a shame too, I would have loved Isco in Barca. Like you said though, too many midfielders in our squad already. Plus we have other needs.

IMO, Thiago's problems should be fixed with some more experience and minutes. They're the only things he really needs IMO.

Good news. Wasn't Puyol's recovery time estimated to be as little as 6 weeks? He might be available too (though there haven't been many updates on how his recovery is going). Provided both are available, I'd go with Puyol for the Bayern game, but Masch for the final (provided we make it) since...

Not gonna help us right now in the CL. I'm still pretty optimistic about our chances of winning it though. We've been doing fairly well since the Milan game IMO. In the 2 PSG games, Messi was out for most of the tie. Other than that, the only game we did badly in was the Celta game. Not sure...

They sound a bit like Pep and Mou tbh :p

Fixed :p

Eh, I'd rather not use a midfielder on the wings again. At least not as our main lineup.

He was cleared by the medical staff to be on the bench for the PSG game, so I'm guessing he could be on the bench in the league games. It does seem like the coaching staff want to be cautious with him now though.

I'm guessing he will be on the bench in the 2 league games, just to be on the safe side.

Well, he did (apparently) say he's been a Barca fan since childhood... maybe he wants to fix our defense? One can always dream :lol:

Tbf, we were in absolute shit form in our last 3 games against them. We were good against them in the first half of the season, aside from the second leg of the super cup. We almost made it 4-1 in the first leg of the super cup (then a brainfart by Valdes makes it 3-2 :facepalm:) and I think we...

True. However, this time we have someone who can score besides Messi (which IMO was the big problem against Chelsea last season). Not to mention Messi himself is better than ever. As is Iniesta. Our defense is worse this season, but I think our midfield and attack are, if anything, better. Our...
