CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

[Richard.H]

Going to be another embarrassment with Barca playing all the football on the pitch and Olympiakos making all the noise in the stands.

Mute button will be getting a lot of action on my remote. Just like every Champions League night at the Montjuic.

Cringe.

Ya, there's something wrong with the Montjuic and I do not know exactly what it is. It never "feels" like a home game for us there. The sound acoustics makes the away area sound way louder than it should be.

This is the best game to rest Pedri.

Tek
Eric Araujo Cubarsi Balde
Casado FDJ
Yamal Fermin Roony
Rashford

I am not sure if roony would work on LW. But it is a good try.
I would play:
Tek
Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, balde
(this should also be the defense-lineup against real)
Casado,FDY
Lamine, fermin, roony
Rashford

Lamine and fermin should just play 45-60 minutes because of their injury
Araujo CF change in 70th minute if it doesnt go as we want

I think rashfor will score a brace tonight

 

[Andresito]

Seems Yamal, Fermin and Rashford are sure to start in attack. Only question is whether one of the CMs get switched to CAM or if Roony starts at LW.


Christensen is out due to illness btw. Ferran is back. Some media outlets predict Roony at LW.

Good to hear about Ferran.

Guess we can always play Dro or Toni for 45 mins.

Would be great to play a more comfortable match at a slower tempo for a change. It's been a while.

 

[Loki]

Important for Ferran to sit at least on the bench and give Flick opportunities for fresh legs second half. I'd not make any Roony lw experiments and start with Fermin as false 9, Rashford and Lamine on the wings, Pedri behind, with Frenkie and Casado DM.
Roony can come in for Lamine later on, who isn't fit yet for 90 minutes and when Olympiacos legs are heavy, so he'll have more space.

 

[Andresito]

The current attacking options is what we will have available as starters for Clasico, so it's important all players' minutes are managed carefully.

Would be great if we could kill off the game in the first 60 minutes, but with our current form it's too much to ask.

 

[GloryHunter 007]

Barca got 29 - 4 against Greek teams and Olympiakos never won in Spain ever.

3-0 Barca. 2 quick goals, ease off and a late goal.

 

[Maradona37]

This is one of the more gentle games of the 8 for you, so a must-win, especially after the PSG defeat.

 

[Barcaman]

Dro starts, Frankie rested. Apart from that best available

 

[Porque]

Finally get to see with a proper attack.

Could be a career announcing performance. Lovely assist or goal on the cards.

Or hooked at half time.

Pick your poison lads.

 

[JamDav1982]

A cruise of a win and dial down for weekend would be most appeciated.

Hopefully Dro goes well and not quite as nervy as last time.

 

[TheStig]

Are the woman/transgender/lbgt rent-a-fans hired and paid yet? I see the Greeks have arrived in big numbers.

 

[Barcaman]

Looks like many Olympiakos fans are there. Will be another slap in the fat face of Elena Fort
