We receive the translator and company in the Camp Nou. It'd be important to win this game, if we don't want to complicate our lives in this tournament. Not only this, it'd be good also for the players to recover some self-steem after the 2 defeats last week. If we're able to win in a good way, our rivals would respect us a bit more.

Rijkaard is going back to the basics, so I don't expect DIX anymore. Probably Messi will go back to the lineup too.

Chelsea still miss the goalies and will play with Hilario again. We'll have to take care with the counters, because the wide Camp Nou is good also for their football of "patapum and go forward", as we've seen in the previous seasons.

Once again the key is to have the ball, as we always did against them, and it usually works fine. It's time for the big players to appear in the big games... hear Ronnie?

FORÇA BARÇA!

You all are being owned every hour in a day and every day in a week by Capello. You are ABUSED by him and not even aware of it. I don't know legal English, but I think such case is called "statutory rape", when victim is too young or intellectually incapable (retarded, for example) to agree to sex -- then it's abuse.


Open your eyes, REPENT YE SINNERS, it's not too late!

I think such game, will be a massive motivation for the team if they win it, it will make thier lives easier in the UCL and olso will give them a bost toward the fans and the press, after what could've been called a "Desastirec Week"... "forgive my poor english"

anyway, such game will make everyone eyeing Ronaldinho, Deco, Xavi, Gudjohnsen and Puyol, to show a lot of what they got and to prove something for themselves, the fans and the press.

if Messi is 100% fit, I would love to see him starts, if not, I'd rather lose this game than losing him in the coming 3-6 weeks for sure! it not worth it to be honest, I still want to win the UCL, but for sure, I know Messi is our best player since the start of this season, and specialy after Eto'o injury, the kid just stepped up and showed who is class and who is hyped. for that I don't want to lose the kid, and specialy when we'll be playing the Animals of football like Essine, Makalele and MOURINHO :fero:


Rijkaard should chose the player in the best form, no more rotation to give no player no chance to play, I would like to see Saviola start this game, and I sure want Deco to be rested at least not a starter, in last night game he was just not there at all, he seems to be suffering mentaly more than in fitness matters.

my best line up for this game would be..

================= Valdes ================
Belletti ------ Marquez ------ Puyol --------- Sylvinho
================= Edmilson ================
======== Iniesta ============= Xavi =========

Messi ----------------- Saviola ============= Ronaldinho

Subs : Giuly for Messi if he's not 100% ready for starting, Deco for Edmilson if we are still chassing the game and Chelsea playing ultra defence.


Visca el Barca i Visca Catalunya :star: :strong: :thmbup: :proud: :fero:

Barca King I think that Rijkaard left Gio and Zambrotta against Recreativo on purpose, he wants them rested for this match. We might see Thuram as well in CD alongside Puyol. I would love to see Xavi and Iniesta in the starting lineup, but I don't think that Rijkaard is going to drop Deco in a CL clash. Gudjohnsen is going to be our striker as well, Saviola came in for him yesterday to give him some rest. So, I guess we might see something like this:

--------- Valdes----------

Zambro----Puyol---Thuram---GIO

-----------Edmilson------------

---------Xavi-------Deco------

Messi (if 100% fit)---Gud-----Ronnie

There must be a huge change in our attitude to win this game. If they score first we are screwed. I want 11 players to give everything from the 1st minute to the last, i want blood :fero: :angel:

here is my line-up :

-------------Valdes------------
------Thuram-----Puyol---------
Zambro-----------------Sylvinho
-------------Rafa--------------
---------Xavi----Iniesta--------
---Messi--------------Ronaldinho
-----------Saviola--------------

Yesterday Belletti and Sylvinho played good in offence but they left their side uncovered many times. At least Zambro covers his side, i don`t know about Sylvinho but i hopes he does well against Chelsea.

For once i'd like just to get the 3 points no matter how we play.
This game is too important to care about the style although i'd be great to win convincingly.
It will be all about effectiveness. We'll have to be very clinical in front of goal and i hope the attacking trident will be up for the task.

Technically, it's not even required to win this game at all. A draw would keep things in our own hands. But obviously a win makes things so much easier. A 2-0 would do fine. But more would be better, if only to hear the most over-rated manager on Earth whining about some imaginary foul or complaining because one of his axemen got a booking somewhere.

Interesting quote from Mourinho:
"In the first game against Barcelona we played without two keepers and maybe now is the time to play without two forwards and I will just take defenders and midfielders,"
Drogba is doubtful after picking an injury against Sheffield while Sheva was rested in the same game.
He might use the 4-3-3 formation like last year with Cole and Robben on the wings wich could cause us quite a few problems.

It's gonna be hard to beat them but i'm confident we'll snatch the 3 points.

They are at home and have a point to prove to the rest of Europe that they are still a great team even without Eto'o.

Ronaldinho has to step up in this match, I know Messi will.
Thanks for the prediction. Also if you put Cannavaro y Robinho son cracks insted of Cannavaro y Robinho es un crack you'll look smarter.

Mourinho is that Portuguese fellow, right?

If so, then he's clearly retarded.:thumbsup:
