    I'd go with
    Forster
    Lustig Ambrose van Djik Izzy
    Brown Ledley
    Samaras Commons Mulgrew
    Stokes​

    Barcelona haven't been at their best recently so hopefully we can take advantage and finish on a high. I doubt they'll put out a very weakened team because they haven't secured first place yet.

    Everyone seems to have forgotten about this. :smiley-laughing002:

    This could do a bit of harm on our recent great league form should we lose in a major fashion, confidence is at a high though. Maybe we can nick a draw.

    It seems a bit surreal that we are playing Barcelona in a couple of days

    As long as we don't get pumped again (Milan) I'd be happy.

    I'd play 3-5-1-1 with Lustig and Izzy playing as wing backs and Stokes playing off Boerrigter

    Forster

    ...................Ambrose....VVD.....Mulgrew.....................

    Lustig......Brown.......Commons.....Ledley.....Izaguirre

    .................................Stokes......................................

    ...............................Boerrigter.................................

    I hope we open up a bit and play a bit like what we have done in the past 2 games and that Samaras doesn't get shoehorned into the team - which is highly unlikely knowing lennon

    No more wingers for me at least not two. As seen in the last two games we play so much better because we aren't as predictable.

    I would go :

    Forster
    Lustig Ambrose Virgil Izzy
    Biton
    Brown Ledley
    Commons Boerighter
    Stokes​

    Like a 4-3-2-1 with Biton sitting in front of the defence. width provided by the full backs, pace through boerrighter who will roam from the left side and provide support to stokes. Commons to link the midfield with the strikeforce.

    Yes....I fancy him as a good striker, he is tall and could you his pace to good effect in the CF role...I don't want us to play with regular wingers because we have been playing so well through the middle

    I honestly would play 5-6 youths/ rotations.
    We're out - end of. Doesn't matter if we chin them 10000 - 0 we're still out.
    Let the youths get a taste of the atmosphere and be prepared for next year

    It doesn't matter what the score is at the Nou Camp.....the real embarrassment was being pumped by an average Milan team in our own backyard

    We have nothing to loose so would maybe be worth a try, but no way Lennon will him as a striker IF he even starts.

    I'm looking forward to this... Ok it's dead rubber but a game against Barca at the Camp Nou is always good to see.

    Forster

    Lustig Ambrose Van Dijk Izaguirre

    Brown Biton Mulgrew

    Commons Ledley

    Stokes​

    The thing im worried about is that they are playing for 1st and we are playing for nothing but pride.

    Can't say I agree with the OP about them being at their best as they are far from it.

    1-1 Ambrose.
