WILLIAN !!!! You beauty.

Bit quiet on here for a Man Utd match.

Morata starts so does Drinkwater. Looks like a decent lineup but Morata will have to play out of his skin or be replaced with Giroud.

Will depend on which Chelsea turns up. Seems like a bit of an anti-climax after the Barca game. I'm not that confident I'm afraid. Liverpool winning yesterday means we need all 3 points. Whether we get them is anyones guess. Let's hope we put up a fight like against Barca. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

Proud of the boys last night. They all fought for the shirt and were unlucky to come away from that game with a draw, which Barca didn't deserve. Messi? Who's Messi? Willian was head and shoulders better than Messi last night, he was simply magnificent. Conte got the tactics spot on and I hold my hands up to getting that wrong. The only criticism I would give him is that he should have brought on Giroud and not Morata and he should have done it earlier. Barca were yet again extremely lucky to get the draw having a goal gifted to them by Christensen. All to play for at the Nou Camp. We are massive underdogs but if we play as well as we did last night and defend as well, we will have some kind of chance, Can't say it's going to be easy though. I really didn't think Barca looked like the best side in the world after seeing REal Madrid Vs PSG last week. Both of those teams looked far better as do Man City. I think a lot of this adulation is hype by the media.

Hijo de Puta. Means the same thing in Spanish.

We gave it to them on a plate. Christensen messed up and Dave couldn't save the error and they scored. They have the away goal which gives them the advantage. We should have won 3-0. The referee was a plonker and gave nearly everything to Barca. We defended brilliantly until that lapse but we need a target man upfront. We were under pressure for far too long. Better result than I thought but it was a game of what may have been. The Nou Camp is terrifying. We will have to play out of our skins again and maybe Willian or Hazard will have more luck. I'd play Giroud in the second leg.

Stupid mistake. OMG !!

WILLIAN !!!

Willian and Hazard have been excellent. Willian unlucky twice hitting the post. Dave and Kante have been fantastic too as has Alonso and Moses. We need a target man and I'd take off Pedro. Great defensive display so far. We will tire second half and Barca will get more space. We need a goal. So far so good but there's a long way to go. Should be two up by now. At least everyone is fighting for the badge. More of the same please with a target man upfront.

Barcelona will close down Fabregas . He will be a passenger. Daft move by Conte.

Don't worry we are not going to with that lineup.

No, the reality of how most fans are thinking. Conte just never learns from his mistakes. Too stubborn, not flexible.

Yep just spoken with a mate and we both believe Conte wants the sack to get that £26 million compensation. What a C*** !!!

Conte is really trying my patience. Fabregas in a two man midfield and no recognised striker? Conte should be in a mental asylum. We will be under pressure from the start. Why no target man in Giroud or Morata? I think Conte could well be picking up his P45 very soon.The master of his own downfall.

Post the lineup. Have you seen it?

We must not concede at all.

Ampudu isn't in the CL squad.

Can't predict this one and I don't know what chances we have got until I see Conte's Lineup. Let's hope every man gives his all. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

Yes but the ref can have an immense bearing on proceedings as we saw in that video. Keep an eye on that ref tomorrow night.

Oh it does because it rekindles the hated we have for Barcelona and UEFA. The Turkish referee tomorrow night could end up being another OVREBO.

This should get everyone in the mood. Great footage in it. Lest we forget............ Barcelona's 2009 Champions League Title - Disgrace of the Sport

Yeah, might be a lot less painful. Only joking.

Hasn't he been injured for quite some time at Roma? Not sure if he's in our CL squad.
