Barcelona vs. Real Madrid 2nd Leg (1/4 Copa)

Meh, I just want the guys to put in their best effort and for you guys not to over-react lol

It's not about hope, it's about expectations

Our pressure is not good without Di Maria

Though I don't expect anything from this game like the last one.

I hope we attack atleast...

I hope that we will try to attack in this game at least, we lost some dignity, so lets gain some of it

As retarded as Mou sometimes is, he will definately not play defensively again if we are one goal behind

My idea isn't to keep the ball....t's simply to apply enough defensive pressure to enjoy some possession of it so we can counter....

Once we an do that they have proven quite vulnerable.

Just FYI My full streghth line up

........Varane.........Ramos.........Pepe
Lass.......Sahin/Khedira..........Xabi..............Marcelo
......Ronaldo.......Benz...................Di Maria.

Guys it doesn't look like Pepe is going to play.

You mean as a Sweeper?

I don't think he'd be too comfortable in distributing with the increased pressure coming from midfield.

We already have Alsonso there....he wouldn't be a destroyer.....he would be the type to Covers and anticipate.

Will only work in a 4-3-3 or 3-5-2 IMO.

1-11

Marcelo.

I really like this lineup.It is one to be reckoned with.
But if this is for tomorrow...

I'd expect to see Carvalho instead of Varane (which blows) because I'd love to see Varane play this game. It would be an amazing experience for him.

Sahin won't be there. Although I'm not sure why Mou is taking his sweet time to play Sahin. So in the midfield I expect a Lass/Alonso combo unless we go for a trivote.

No Di Maria and I highly doubt he'd start Callejon. Which again blows.
But hey who knows. Maybe Mou will start Altintop again as RB *shivers

-----------------Iker
Arbeloa-----Carvalho-----Ramos--------Coentrao
-----------Granero------Alonso---------Marcelo
------------Ozil-------Ronaldo------Kaka

Arbeloa-ramos-carvalho-coentrao
...........lass-----------Alonso

Ronaldo........Ozil...........Marcelo
.................Benz...........

Lets see Most people, at least in Spain want something like this:

--Arbeloa--- Varane---Ramos---Marcelo--


-------------Lass-----------Alonso---------

------Ozill-----------------------Ronaldo--


-----------Benzema---Higuain------------

But that team gets torch by Barca, at least in my opinion.

Mou will probably go with something like this unless he gives in to all the pressure.

--Arbeloa-----Carvalho-----Ramos----Marcelo--


-----Diarra-----Alonso----------Coentrao--------


---Benzema-----Higuain------Ronaldo----------

At least thats the line-up I'm hoping for we'll see.

___________Casillas
Arbeloa___Pepe___Ramos___Contrao
_________Lass___Sahin
DiMaria_______Ozil________Ronaldo
___________Benzema

or (if maria not fit)

___________Casillas
Arbeloa___Pepe___Ramos___Contrao
_____Sahin___Lass___Marcelo
Ozil_________Benzema_____Ronaldo

As possible line up:

--------------------Iker-------------------
-Arbeloa--Varane--Ramos--Marcelo-
---------Pepe/Granero--Xabi----------
Kaka-----------Ozil-----------Cris--------
--------------Benzema-------------------

Lass is a big doubt since he hurt his arm on Monday. Pepe is a doubt as well so he isn't ready Granero will start.

This is all according to As so they could be wrong lol

Via Marca:

Both As and Marca agree on the defence.
