Second big test after Valencia, we'll see if Lucho learned something from the away game, PSG will play basically using the same tactic, a defensive formation, limiting spaces and betting all on the counters and set piece.

Against Espanyol we saw how easy it is to find the spaces between our lines, there is a hole in the centre due to the position of the midfielders under Lucho, combined with little defensive work from the 3 forwards, for that specific reason i want to see Pedro instead of Neymar or Suarez.

Nice preview Hardy :)

I rated Espanyol match as more important one for us but this match is about prestige and I expect us to go out with guns blazing as opposed to disinterested start vs. Pericos.

Last we lost the match because of set pieces, stegen and alves. This time I expect pique to start Even though masch is a better player. Alves out is a blessing, adriano as right back is a good solution. I dont expect us to win, but a draw would be a decent result.

I am not sure you will be able to properly rate Barca after a game against PSG.

If you follow PSG since the start of this season, they are nowhere near as good as the best potential winners of the CL.

RM, Bayern, chelsea, Atleti etc. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PSG. Right now.

As for PSG, I don't expect anything. A very nice game as usual for me when those two meet up.

If PSG wins, it's good, even if it means Blanc won't be fired anytime soon.
If Barca wins, it's good, I am a fan of Barca too, and it means PSG's board might start to change things finally.
If Barca steamrolls them, then Blanc will probably be fired during the winter mercato, which is great too.

1/ Not my fault if illogical things happen sometimes.

2/ Blanc didn't school Lucho at all. Besides here where people overreact, everyone said it could have gone both ways, and that Barcelona didn't do so bad while PSG got a bit luckier.

3/ Messi was not at the top of his form like he is right now.

4/ Don't accuse me if Barca underperforms because Lucho tries something new and stupid again. And that won't mean PSG is great in any form or shape.

Barça was a bit unlucky, but blanc set psg to take advantage of Barça's weakness, and he did a good job.
