Barcelona - Inter (24 Oct 18) [2-0]

[cloudq]

94' - Busquets - own goal

 

[Bluenine]

D'Ambrosio will get sent off, Messi will score a goal and Inter will defend the rest of the game with all 10 men behind the ball. In the last 10 minutes, Icardi will head in an equaliser from a half chance, and then Inter will lay siege and Vecino will head in the winner in injury time.

Thats the script of Pazza Inter!

 

[Devious]

Umm.. guys, just no disrespect but leave the prediction part to me, you really all suck at this.

Thanks.

 

[Bluenine]

This is what we are up against. 40+ goals for the 10th consecutive year. The fucking GOAT!

How the fuck does a player score 91 goals in 1 year??

 

[rockball]

Handanovic
Skriniar - DeVrij - Miranda
Candreva - Nainggolan - Valero - Brozovic - Asamoah
Icardi - Perisic

Going for a 1-1 draw with the above.

I know the anwser: La Liga.

 

[ADRossi]

oh... thought it's Gags missing only. Fuck.. who can play as LB then? we are in dead need of a DM for that away match against Barca.

The reserve LB for the UCL is D'Ambrosio; assuming Vrsaljko is actually fit. There's no way we can move Asamoah to our midfield without switching to a 3 at the back, thus rendering this pointless, because then we don't have a LWB.

What I'm trying to tell you is there isn't an alternate universe that exists in which Vecino doesn't start this game.

Luka Modrič is better :troll:

Stop being ignorant. Not even the likes of C. Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Raul, Romario, Hugo Sanchez etc can touch Messi's absurd goal record, let alone if we count his assists tally as well.


From Drogba's biography :
"Robbie Di Matteo did what he always did and put up a list of the opposing team's top scorers. Usually, the list would read something along the lines of Rooney - 22 goals; Van Persie - 15 and so on.

"When the Barcelona list went up, sure enough, in third place was Xavi on 14, in equal second place were Alexis Sánchez and Cesc Fàbregas on 15, but we all just laughed when the top scorer came up on the screen - Lionel Messi on ... 63 goals, 14 in the Champions League alone!

"But 63 that season? It was such a ridiculous figure that we looked at each other in disbelief and laughed - what else could we do? I even took a picture of the number because it was so outrageous."

 

[Il Drago]

The timing of this match is interesting for both sides. For Barcelona, this match is between Sevilla and El Clasico. For Inter, this match is between Derby della Madonnina and the away match against Lazio. I am curious how Valverde will treat this match.

 

[Demenza Senile]

If we lose this then i want Bluenine to be estopped from mentioning Biglia in any form whatsoever on this forum and particularly from saying we should have gone for him that summer.No.Just No Blue9! Capiche?

Thanks.

Didnt you predict a win vs Sassuolo?

 

[JJM]

can i open a game thread for 3 years in advance?

 

[Mercenary]

Handanovic
Skriniar - DeVrij - Miranda
Candreva - Nainggolan - Valero - Brozovic - Asamoah
Icardi - Perisic

Going for a 1-1 draw with the above.

Borja can't run man. And fuck Candreva.

Handa
Skriniar - De Vrij - Miranda
Vrsaljko - Nainggolan - Brozovic - Asamoah - Perisic
Martinez - Icardi

But i don't believe we'll (or should) change formation in a match like this one. Plus Politano deserves to play.

 

[wera]

Looking forward to quoting you again after the match with a far more suitable response in a form of an image.

Dude, we are talking about a guy that hasn't scored against 5 clubs he played against. That means, he provided goals everywhere else. So what you said is not really factual, because he has shown again and again that it doesn't matter who he plays against.

I am proud that he has not scored in those 4 games against us, but we are leaking too many goals to not be scared of Messi

 

[Devious]

Didnt you predict a win vs Sassuolo?

I havnt bought the game when we played Sassuolo. But I said we'll face Sassuolo first, I never predicted the result though.

I don't predict, I just read the fortune on my crystal ps4 ball. And it's been fairly accurate so far.

 

[nutsncider]

Coutinho is gonna go off. Mark my words, def gonna score his trademark cut inside banger

 

[RichDAS]

Had a dream that we were losing 2-0 in the first half and were under heavy pressure from the Barca team... wtf? I guess I haven't felt so nervous since 2010.

 

[Alex de Large]

I have a dilemma between parking the bus with Dumbo-Miranda-Skriniar-De Vrij-Asamoah, or going just with the same lineup than against PSV with Politano-Perisic-Icardi as usual.

 

[n4l]

It's not really a dilemma tbh. We have to be pragmatic. We already have 6 points. Tottenham has 0. As does PSV. The goal is to qualify, thus getting a point in both barca games will be ideal and put us at 8 points; a strong position to qualify, needing probably just 1 win from the last 2 games to qualify.

Parking the bus is the right strategy. In Nou camp, it's with a measured and conscious effort to watch the numbers we pour forward when we counter. I wouldn't push more than 4 players in a counter attack, with 1 of the 4 players in a 'transition' position and at least 2 getting into the box. They key to barca is not getting too excited on the counter and leaving too much space for them to then re-counter.
