    It will be Jan upfront, if WGS was going to put Samaras in it would of been well before this game.

    I think we might play 4-5-1 against Barca, if so I think it'll be Skippy up front on his own.
    Would like to see Samaras up front as he will be a bit of an unknown quantity to Barca, and could provide the element of surprise.
    Wouldn't surprise me if the Samaras deal becomes permanent in the summer, I've a sneaking feeling that JVOH will be off in the summer, possibly back to holland.

    Dont think we'll go 4-5-1 at home, so its Skipper and JVOH for me. He takes pelters does the big man, but hes been a different player the last few weeks, making better runs, winning more headers, and scoring a couple of goals !!

    Save the 4-5-1 for the away leg, 2 siting midfielders and Skippy up on his own, let McGeady and Naka have a run at them down the wings, with Brown running on from the middle !!

    Thats my plan anyway, although I aint an expert !!

    Gotta do the partnership that has been playing together and playing well of late.
    Jan must perform now as he knows there is some1 who can come in and he knows he hasnt performed in europe

    there's no way samaras can start against barcelona, big jan and skippy is one of the best partnerships we've had since henrik left

    Skippy and Jan.

    The 2 contentious places are right back and centre mid where there's a couple of options he could settle for.

    I think Samaras would be an excellent option in the second half. Valdes isn't great at dealing with crosses, so set-pieces and corners with a guy that height with fresh legs in the box can only be good eh?
