Kuba is like "Oh shit, fuck the bench" lol
 
Exactly my point. We don't want them nicking the 4th qualification spot if they somehow manage to win the thing. They would beat Milan comfortably IMO.

I also want to see Barca beat them without cheating.
Comfortably? Not sure about that, not if Milan had Silva back. Chelsea still aren't at their best. Milan have given Barca 3 decent games this season already and would have to play another one tonight. If they get through, they'd be favourites for me over Chelsea.

I love how Barca don't play with a traditional striker. It's like:

GK
DEF DEF DEF DEF
CAM CM CAM
RW CAM LW

This wouldn't really work with any team unless they're possession and pass masters with players form all sorts of positions who can score. Such a well-oiled machine that may never be replicated with such efficiency.

If any other team tried something like this, they'd go to shit.

Barca's RB is more like a RW and the forward CAM is more like a playmaker.

So does any Man U fans think Ferguson will splash in the transfer market this summer or will the Glazers be too cheap to provide extra funds?

I will assume Fergie's been shocked a bit by our failure in Europe and will go for someone in midfield to replace Fletcher's aggressive pressing. Tiote would be a good buy if buying in league, Martinez and Strootman are also hawt

i think todays match will be really interesting, everytime heynckes tried to rotate his players this season it came back to bite him in the ass and he had to correct things in the 2nd half... makes no sense to use those 4 players but not Gomez and Robben
 
Milan XI: Abbiati; Abate, Mexes, Nesta, Antonini; Ambrosini, Nocerino, Seedorf; Boateng, Ibrahimovic, Robinho.

El Sha isn't on the bench, Pato will probably play 20-25 minutes. I'm still worried about Antonini on the left side, plus Nocerino won't play where he should once again. Seedorf is going to ruin us for sure.

My body is ready. Almost. Not even close.
 
Can see why Guardiola has gone with Cuenca. He'll probably get him to hold a position out wide and try to stretch Milan who will obv. want to stay tight and compact.

Sanchez and Tello can do the same I suppose.

That's the idea apparently:

Replace Sanchez with Cuenca.

Let's go BAYERN-GAF!! YEEEEEEEEEEE SON!

Although I admit, I'll probably watch the Barca-Milan match in the hopes of Barca dropping this match.
