    “Make or break for EtH”? This place sometimes :lol:

    I’m actually quite chilled about this tie as it would be better in the long run if we go out.

    Just take one of the hardest game and make it make or break :wenger: . That’s stupidity at his finest.
     
    Free hit over two legs, sooner finish in the top four than run this marathon of Thursday night football. I still think we could push to finish higher in the league this season.
     
    We’re probably gonna have about 20% possession tonight. Barca will dominate with that midfield so we need to be on our best when countering. We need to take the chances we get. Unsure about weghorst for this game. I’d of put garnacho in for pace and his dribbling.
     
    AWB at RB was right call, Dallot just isn’t back to his usual self at the moment.
     
    Ugh, missed the full house because of AwB.
     
    Expected team really I guess. Hopefully we're still able to counter with Weghorst up top.

    I think Garnacho is generally better as a sub, to stretch tired defences. He's not quite ready to be a starter just yet.

    Of course, that means Weghorst starting and he's been, well, mostly useless. But this way at least we have someone on the bench to change the game.
     
    Probably the best team we could hope for with those available, but Jesus that bench…
     
    Really want to win this one just for the record. Don't care about the rest of the tourney or even the return leg
     
    Bruno on the right, Sancho left, Weghorst at 10 and Rashford as CF.

    Ten Hag will go full Pep again.
     
    Starting Weghorst away at the Nou camp is tragic. Expect little to no attacking threat until we change things in the second half. Relying on Rashford to produce some individual magic.

    Rest of the team picks itself. Dalot has looked sluggish since he came back from injury so picking Wan Bissaka makes sense.
     
    Got 11/11 but then again that team virtually picks itself with the options available.

    So long as we don't lose please. I'll take any result and hope we can resurrect the two Tonies for the home leg, though extremely doubtful, I know.

    Bit surprised to see Weghorst in for this game.

    Well we don't have much off the bench, and I don't think he wants to start Garnacho at the moment.

    We seem to do better with subbing in the 70th and bringing him in, pushing Rashford up top.

    He’s far better coming off the bench and being a game changer for me

    Just the five regular full internationals. I can understand why others resent fans of the big clubs sometimes.

    I'm not sure how to respond to that. I suspect you understood my point perfectly well. Is your post just some ill-timed lament about how big clubs tend to stockpile players? Or do you genuinely believe that this is a strong bench for a game at the Camp Nou?

    I'll admit that Barcelona's subs don't look all that frightening either.
