Pato+Cassano is an excellent attack to play with against Barça. Only Pato+Robinho I would have preferred over this one, but oh well, **** happens. I don't see Zlatan's style of play doing any good against Barça. Zlatan is a blessing against Serie A sides, but I am happy to see Pato as the striker now supported by a supporting striker. Pato's pacey runs, deadly finishing, etc. are what we need vs Barça. The few chances we will get, it better goes to an excellent goalscorer with awesome speed. And we will have a nice amound of players with good passing on the field which will benefit Pato.

Probable line-up, according to Sportmeidaset:
Abbiati; Abate, Nesta, T. Silva, Zambrotta; Nocerino, Van Bommel, Seedorf; Emanuelson, Boateng; Pato Emanuelson instead of Cassano, WTF??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) My only change would be Aquilani instead of Urby. I agree about dropping one of the strikers since they're the only 2 available. Aside from that, I think it's the best line-up that can be put out |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) wow, an interesting twist... such a speedy attack... all three... very interesting to do so vs Barça... Allegri could be on to something... he may be a genius or he may be not... I like his way of thinking... |

No man, Cassano needs to play at all cost! His quality could seriously hurt Barça. It doesn't matter how many strikers we have left on the bench. I'd also play Aquilani instead of Seedorf. Personally, I thought Aquaman did great against Lazio. I seriously doubt Seedorf can keep up with Barça's speed of play. Maybe if he comes as a sub in the second half, when most players will be tired...

Urby is a very one dimensional player, sure he's quick but I don't see him using the ball wisely. QUOTE (X-Offender @ Sep 12 2011, 06:44 PM) No man, Cassano needs to play at all cost!

Personally, I thought Aquaman did great against Lazio. I seriously doubt Seedorf can keep up with Barça's speed of play. Maybe if he comes as a sub in the second half, when most players will be tired... I don't know, I'd rather have him as an option coming off the bench and pack the midfield tightly. Seedorf's experiance and tactical awareness will be key for us while Aquilani's final ball and set-pieces might give us an unexpected advantage. That's why I think we need both in there. I'd sacrifice Cassano and rely on Pato's speed and finishing to have both Aqui and Seedorf in there. Also note that Seedorf is fresh and ready, this is when he usually plays his best. I'm happy with Ambro being dropped, but we need Seedorf's cool head in there as well. He's still a leader on the pitch for us, more then Ambro imo. |

OK, maybe Aquilani-Seedorf-Pato would be nice, but please no Emanuelson!

Abate--Nesta--Thiago--Zambro Nocerino--VB--Seedorf Boateng--Aquilani Pato Perfect line-up for this kind of game imo. Stifle them in midfield, while still providing the best support we can for Pato when on the ball. Also, we have 3 players who can distribute the ball properly so we won't lose it as soon as we win it back |
