If Rafa chooses to attack in the Nou Camp, I'll let myself be gangraped by bald eagles. We'll sit back, and I have a baaad feeling about this game.

 

I agree, apart from the bit about the eagles.

 

If we sit back and they score first, we are going to be right up against it. If it was a one-off game away, then we'd obviously go for an equaliser, but at 1-0 down in the Nou Camp in a two-legged tie, it could be a real 'stick or twist' situation. If we've started with a defensive mindset then I'd expect Rafa and the players to stick, even if only subconsciously, and if that happens then we will be pinned down in our own half and it could be a matter of keeping the score down.

 

I'd feel a lot more confident about this tie if we were at home in the first leg - we could go for a win and then go to the Nou Camp knowing exactly what we'd have to do there. As it is I'd take a one-goal deficit from the first leg right now.

I hope we use the tactics that served us so well two seasons ago: shock and awe tactics in the first 20 minutes to get a goal, or at least put them on the backfoot. Then soak up what they send at us and try to hit them on the break. We're not good enough in possession to go toe to toe with Barca over 90 minutes.
