If we can't score a couple against a second string barca defense esp with RvP and Cesc, we deserve to go out.

I have a feeling that we will get turned over 3-2 tonight which will see us go through on away goals

I think we will lose 3-1, maybe even 4-1

Guardiola says "barca have many Wilsheres in their reserve team."

my team selection

Szczesny

Sagna Djourou Kos Clichy

Wilshere Denilson

Nasri Cesc AA

Nick/Chamakh(Nick is better off the bench plus Chamakh is good in europe)

Gibbs to come on for AA in 2nd half will help defensively and on the counter.
Denilson ahead of Diaby because we need someone to sit and not go journey walking. Also I know he will keep it simple and not hold on to the ball.
Diaby can come on for Nasri to narrow the midfield late on which would force Barca wide.

2-2 Draw

I think I would prefer to see RVP start than Barry or Chamakh

Robin isn't fit, probably not even 80% so what is the point in starting him

If he doesnt have a chance why is he there? None of us know how he is until the fitness test this morning

You are no more in the know about this then we are, if he is there and fit he will play.

Barcelona are not Orient or Sunderland, Wenger won't take this so lightly.

We need two goals in 90 mins, three would be amazing, this team should hopefully not concede more then 3 this year, no Silvestre, no Almunia on the floor making it easy for them.

I dont like this guy, he will fall for every Barca con. Hope i am wrong

He done the first leg of this tie last year, booked Cesc, sent off Puyol and gave us a pen.

This game is so huge I can't even think about work today. Any type of draw will do me. Just cos the waltzed us round the nou camp last season doesn't mean they will do the same this year. Just having cesc and rvp on the plane will give the players a confident boost.
