Think he will play a mid pitch 4-5-1 to start with on Weds, with the lads / team that started at Blackburn.
Barca will need to get a positive result on Weds, the first 20-30 mins will be edgy, so SAF will be mindful to keep the Barca team at distance, and play them on the counter for the first half or 60 mins - then if going to plan will make changes to quicken the pace up as I think he will be keeping an eye on SAT also - its a big big week for the club.
Im going for a 1 all or 2 all draw - think we will then win the home leg and face Dynamo in the final.
Then there can be only one...

4-5-1 with Anderson playing behind the lone striker Rooney. I will be happy with a 1-1 or 2-2 draw. But what would be more sweet would be to win the damn game

That looks like a good line-up to me, but I feel that SAF will put Scholes and Giggs, replacing Anderson and Tevez, on from the start. I'm not convinced that Scholes and Giggs are playing that well presently, but SAF feels that their experience is necessary for these European games. Barca, with the return of Messi, will certainly be an offensive threat, therefore we need to take the game to them - remember the 3-3 draw with Cole and Yorke terrorizing the Barca defence? I think Roma-lie tactics will be applied where we soak up pressure and try to hit them on the break. I'm not convinced this is the right tactic to adopt, but what would I know?! I'm not the Manager of the biggest club in the world!! A score draw would be a good result to take back to OT. All this talk of beating them at the Nou Camp is a little far fetched.

Henry sits out Barca training Thierry Henry missed training through illness on Monday as Barcelona step up preparations for Wednesday's clash with Manchester United.
The France international, who was an unused substitute in Saturday's goalless league draw against Espanyol, was suffering from a fever and it remains to be seen if he will be fit in time for the Champions League semi-final first-leg clash at Nou Camp.
Also absent from Monday's training session, which was conducted behind closed doors, were Ronaldinho, Lilian Thuram, Jose Edmilson and back-up goalkeeper Albert Jorquera.
Ronaldinho and Jorquera are both injury absentees, while Edmilson remained in the gym with a back problem. Thuram was given the morning off by the club but was due to train in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, defender Oleguer Presas has been given the all clear to return to action after recovering from a hand injury.
Barca will train again on Tuesday evening, 24 hours before their Champions League semi-final first leg against United at the Nou Camp

Messi's a talent but he hasn't played in a while so i wouldn't be expecting him to be in form, but that doesn't mean I'm underestimating him at all. This will be a tough match if we allow Barca to come at us because they're an attack minded team like us. I imagine Fergie might want to keep it tight and hit them on the break since their defense is lackluster, but I wouldn't want Barca to get too comfortable in our end of the pitch either. I think we'll get a draw at Camp Nou and win it at OT.

Did anyone know that Messi is a yellow card away from suspension?
Lets hope he gets booked and misses the second leg. Take Messi out, and I think we will be ok, but the guy is a genius and the obvious danger man. Its like Kaka and Milan. Take one out and we can win it.
