just let them have a go and see who scores more!

They will.

no they wont. You're forgetting that they really dont have a defence right now. Mascherano and song against ronaldo and co?? you really think they'll still outscore us??

You're forgetting that they'll have more possession than they ever will without a defensive adept player beside Alonso. Plus we play at Camp Nou, It's entirely different especially the fact that they are more comfortable in possession in their home stadium.

How do you suppose to protect our back four with that line-up? Messi will have a field day spraying through balls to their wide players with Marcelo and Coentrao as our defensive cover.

You don't play two attacking Fullbacks especially with the other one out of position just for the sake of an Hollywood looking line-up.

The last time we played we Dominated them in the first half but we only managed to score two and they were playing with 10 men half the time. What makes you think we'll do better this time?

And yes we will probably score but i doubt we will win.

This is not FIFA. Even in FM that line up will probably fail.

Let us be realistic here.

What I would like to see:

Ramos--Varane--Pepe--Marcelo
--------------Alonso
--------Ozil----------Modric
Di Maria-----Benzema------Cristiano

What I think we will play:

Arbeloa--Ramos--Pepe--Marcelo
-------Alonso---Khedira
Di-Maria---Modric---Cristiano
----------Higuain

Yes please, play Varane and Ramos as Right back. Wet dream.

------------------Casillas
----Ramos---------Pepe-------Marcelo
-Di Maria---Khedira------Alonso
------------Ozil-----------Modric
----------------------------------Ronaldo
------------------Benzema

4-3-1-2

Alonso,Modric Kehidra
Ozil
Ronaldo benzema

if you play montoya instead of alves we have a deal

Varane to keep messi and co in his pocket

Varane If he plays he'll perform great for sure. Future GOAT

Really hope Benzema starts

pretty much this is what i think as well

why are ppl picking modric over ozil

what has modric done to deserve to play over ozil.

for the past few clasicos ozil has been on of our best players

ffs Ramos as RB? did none of you guys watch him from 2007-2011 in that position??? among the players who have completely raped him are Henry, Ronaldinho, Villa (ffs) and others...

Arbeloa is so solid on RB (on his day) that he is best there , at least defensively.

- Arbeloa.....Ramos.....Pepe.........Marcelo
................Alonso..........Essien..........
........................Modric....................
...Ozil..............Benz...............Ronaldo

and for god sake don't start higuain, we can't let this game be among those matches where we will give him 8 chances, and he will score 1... this is a critical game!!

in all honesty, id rather see Callejon than Higuain against barca as CF

I don't like Ramos as a right-back but I see what he's up against and I'm okay with it.

One dimensional players he can bully are not going to be a problem.

I want to see him get forward to space for Di Maria because that's usually the source of alot of issues we have against Barca, Di maria gets trapped and we have a bottleneck because he's the primary outlet.

If Arbeloa is going to play, I would reccomend Ozil, but Di Maria is in such form...I think we need to accommodate him.

Essien? You'd start essien?

i thought the same thing when we played deportivo at the weekend

him an cristiano can interchange from the left to the centre. it could be great

plus higuain look out of place every time he is outside the box, idk, but he jus looks uncomfortable with the ball at his feet outside the box.

Lol maybe because Mou hasn't been playing him as much as he can?? Supposedly Mou is not happy with him, well that's what a few forum members say..

lol you people.

Casillas
Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo/Coentrao
Alonso, Mehdera
DiMagia, Ozil, CR7
Benzema

Modric has done nothing whatsoever to deserve to play against barca, while ozil was one of the main reasons we started winning against barca.

Benzema over Mehguain, although i can easily choose higuain for his runs, i have a very bad feeling that he will choke even more badly then the last.

he is calm and "fast thinker" like ozil or even better can escape from a dificult situation with his agility and not lose possession and in the same time build up play
i want modric to start.

i know ozil has been very good against barca but he is in bad form and you all know how an off form ozil plays
except all this maybe its a secret mourinho plan, and he unleashes the beast ozil against them cause some of ozil's comments couple of weeks back got me wondering

If Barca have Song and Mascherano at CB I think it would be very worth while to play Higuain.

Either way I'm confident in the squad and every player has my trust.

thats cause lass left

If Ozil doesn't play today he will 100% play in Clasico IMO.

Ozil was our best player in every clasico he played since the 5-0.

Cacktrao will play against Barca
