How the hell do we set up against Barcelona. In midfield Kante and? .

{Ed0333's Note - Kantes clone and then Kantes clones clone and fabregas.

Well the thought of drinkwater and bako in the team against Barcelona doesn't fill u with confidence. Only Luiz in midfield, If he doesn't wander forward too much, might be the answer.

It's going to be Baka and fab with Kante. I really hope it's not Bakayoko as he's been awful this season from the first game. Really hope he proves me wrong but it's not looking like it at all

Courtois
Zappacosta Azpi Christensen Rudiger Alonso
Drinkwater Kante Fabregas
Hazard Giroud.

3-4-3is the way to go. In 3-5-2 we tend to be ultra defensive. The gap between midfield line and forward line increase in this formation. To make this work one of the midfielder should join the attack frequently. However barring Fabregas (who is slower these days) non others stem confidence in attacking capabilities.

Why not go on attacking mode with 3-4-3 with Giroud as target man and hazard, Willian to support him.

But I think Conte will again go for 3-5-2 with defensive setup as he does in big matches.

We cannot play Fabregas as they will play right through us, WBA were doing a good job on Monday. Luiz in the middle with Kante and I would give Drinkwater a chance as he cannot be any worse than Bayakoko who on any measure of form should not be playing and this is the wrong game to play him in the hope he magically transforms into the superstar we hoped?

Got to be luiz in midfield and 3-4-3 otherwise its going to be another man city game where we get totally out played we was lucky to come out of that game only losing 1-0. No way can we sit back and hope to catch Barcelona on the break, they will cut through us like a hot knife through butter. We have got to attack specially at the bridge.

Totally agree Blinky. Best defence we can put together but also a very attacking set up and hope to score at their place. We haven't enough pace (or confidence) to try and catch them on the break so we will have to keep pressing even if we score otherwise they will slice us to pieces.

Luiz still out injured at the moment.
