I hope United attack tonight and he he doesn't start with Giggs or Scholes. If he insists on a 4 5 1 the 3 centre mids should be Carrick, Hargreavs and Anderson. I hate to say it as I like C and H so much but Anderson has to start. Nani like Anerson over Scholes has the pace over giggs which will be needed in this game.
He's also capable of decent long range shots, something Giggs doesn't do anymore.

As for Barcelona, I think if Ronaldinho was playing he'd be a hindrance to the team ala Henry arsenal. Speak of the devil, If Vidich and Ferdinand are starting I think *touch wood* they should have him in their combined pocket. Same with any of there other forwards.

ROnaldo will play shit but possible score.

Thoughts?

I want a United Chelsea final.

I think Barca will need an away goal in the secod leg as i think Man Utd will score tonight. Could be a good game.
Im still hoping for a Liverpool - Barca final, so im hoping Barca can win and keep a clean sheet.
Barca are gonna have to improve on there recent form if the want to get to the final though.

Vidic looks to be out now with a stomach bug, so Silvestre or Pique will have to go in the centre.

For ****s sake. Vidic is easily the most dependable and solid defender we've got.

Hopefully Pique, don't barca want him? And he used to play in la liga on loan last season.

He He = Ferguson, I must have passed, and forgot I typed it.

Ronaldo misses a penalty. He could live to regret that.

Just got back in for around 20 minuts of second half (driving , drivethru lol.) United seem to be defending and that's about it. I didn't even know Rooney was on. When they attack from the left they need to switch it to the right flank, they aint done that once yet.
Penalty miss was a huge blow.

Barca's midfield was running the show.. couldnt do shit in the final third of the pitch

Some of United's players might aswell be off the pitch.. Rooney wide right :nonono:

So much for end to end football.

Come Tuesday, we're going to see a much better Utd team.

Snoozefest that was. Pisses me off when Rooney always plays so deep, he is a striker for **** sake.

Where the hell was Ronaldo? So much for best player in the world. He never does it on the big stage.

Messi on the other hand.......

I thought that it was a decent tactical display although a boring game.

Barca were always going to boss it over there and I can see a 2-1 at Old Trafford coming.

The thing is ROnaldo never plays well against the big teams , but ends of scoring. I weren't far from being right.

I think he needs to work on his free kicks, they're consistently poor. Most of them hit the wall. Hargreaves needs to take some more, and perhaps let Carrick have ago. Can't be much worse than Ronaldo's current ones.

Hargreaves ain't too bad with the free kicks. It's like the Roberto Carlos fiasco all over again with Ronaldo. One wonder goal, then inconsistent free kicks for the rest of the season. Although Ronaldo's technique is better.

The reason why he stalls as my opinion of the best player in the world is that he tends to be poor on the big stage, wether playing for Man U or Portugal.

That's why i hold Messi in high regard. He always puts a smile on my face when i see him play.

Barcelona could get a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. United will look to score early and try to keep Barcelona goalless.

When United win Rooney gets credit for dropping back but when they lose you see why he shouldn't drop back. Strikers should always be on the last man.
