How much rotations we'll see, I wonder.





​

 

[Messi983]

Jasper
Semedo* Chumi Vermaelen Miranda
Vidal Arthur Alena
Denis Munir Coutinho

*would like to see Wague but he can't play

Puig on for Arthur in 2nd half.

 

[Andresito]

Last year's line up for the last group game:

Cillessen
Semedo, Piqué, Vermaelen, Digne
Denis, Rakitic, Gomes
Aleix, Suárez, Paco

So I guess we should expect some rotations.

Alba, Busquets and Rakitic definitely shouldn't play.
Piqué, Messi and Suárez shouldn't either, but I don't think they'll be benched.

 

[Barcaman]

Yeah, I guess we won't see too much rotations. Not with Valverde and with our injury problems. Draw would be fine I reckon.

---------------Cillesen----------------
Semedo-Chumi-Vermaelen-Miranda
----------------Oriol------------------
---------Alena---------Arthur---------
Dembele-------Munir--------Coutinho

Or (to try out the Arthur-Coutinho aka BBZ's nightmare midfield pairing in a meaningless game):

--------------Cillesen--------------
Semedo-Chumi-Lenglet-Miranda
----------------Oriol--------------
------Arthur-------Coutinho------
Alena--------Munir------Dembele

I think we should really try Arthur-Coutinho in this meaningless game, since Dembele is growing in form.

But of course it'll be most of the starting 11, even if we have nothing to play for.

 

[shadows]

Time to try Coutinho with Arthur in midfield.. No reason why any of our other starters should be risked for this dead rubber.. Everyone needs as much rest as they can before EV will bury them all with the Jan Copa fixtures ..

Knowing EV, my predicted line up is Rakitic plus 10 others

Seriously though, I am expecting he plays this

Jasper
XXX Chumi Vermaelen Miranda
Alena Arthur Coutinho
XXXX Munir Denis

XXXX dont care who is the other one or play 4-4-2 with Puig in there...Who cares..

But what will probably happen is this

Semedo Chumi Lenglet Miranda
Alena Rakitic Arthur
Dembele Munir Coutinho

 

[soul24rage]

this would be my line up

Jasper---Semedo, Chumi, Vermaelen, Miranda---Alena, O. Busi, Arthur---Denis, Munir, Coutinho

Give match fitness to Arthur and Coutinho.
As much as I want Messi to catch up on his CL goals, Levante away game is more important.

 

[wisconsincule]

I know this is a meaningless match but I would like to see us go for it. Spurs have everything to play for and this would be a good warm up for what’s to come in the knockout stages.

 

[Joan]

Since everyone's doing it: gk; Semedo - Chumi - Lenglet - Miranda; Vidal - Arthur - Coutinho; Messi - Suarez - Dembele. Alena in at some point.

 

[gasgas]

Since everyone is doing it:

..............Rakitic
Rakitic.Rakitic..Rakitic..Rakitic
.Rakitic..Rakitic..Rakitic.Rakitic
...............Rakitic...Rakitic

 

[CatalinR10]

normally i wouldn't give a shit since we already have the 1st place secured but....we have a chance to knock out totenham .

I would be greatly satisfied if messi would score 2 with us winning 3-0 or something like that.

 

[Gnidrologist]

I think you forgot Rakitic.

 

[Gari]

Of the 20 questions at the press conference Valverde before the match with Tottenham 7 were about Dembele.
Valverde: "There are sure to be rotations tomorrow; we just had a big game on Saturday. Every game is an opportunity to show what you're capable of doing."
Luis Suarez to miss Barcelona game against Tottenham in Champions League.Valverde confirmed on Monday that the 31-year-old will not feature against Tottenham.
