View Full Version : Barcelona V United
Nicky_Hatton 04-23-2008, 09:22 AM 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.
Pot Noodle 04-23-2008, 09:35 AM I'd go with...
Van Der Sar
Brown Vidic Ferdinand Evra
Hargreaves Scholes Giggs
Ronaldo
Tevez Rooney
chrismart83 04-23-2008, 09:39 AM 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.

Who is he he :thinking:
GreenGetter 04-23-2008, 09:40 AM Does that mean u dont want utd to win because you putting them at a disadvantage straightaway with only 10 players lol

:lol1: :lol1:
Pot Noodle 04-23-2008, 09:43 AM Nah I want Utd to go out with 10 players to show Barca we really mean business :pat: put Tevez up with Rooney an all.
Pot Noodle 04-23-2008, 11:53 AM Vidic looks to be out now with a stomach bug, so Silvestre or Pique will have to go in the centre.
D_Hook 04-23-2008, 11:57 AM 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.
Nicky_Hatton 04-23-2008, 11:57 AM 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.
TRAVI$ 04-23-2008, 12:46 PM It depends what Barca turn up tonight, on recent form they have been terrible
Mozza 04-23-2008, 03:51 PM Ronaldo misses a penalty. He could live to regret that.
Nicky_Hatton 04-23-2008, 04:45 PM 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.
TRAVI$ 04-23-2008, 05:37 PM 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:
Addition 04-23-2008, 05:54 PM So much for end to end football.
Come Tuesday, we're going to see a much better Utd team.
RED ARMY 04-23-2008, 06:02 PM Snoozefest that was. Pisses me off when Rooney always plays so deep, he is a striker for **** sake.
black.ink 04-24-2008, 05:14 AM 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.......
MickyHatton 04-24-2008, 05:20 AM 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.
Nicky_Hatton 04-24-2008, 06:41 AM 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.
Nicky_Hatton 04-24-2008, 07:49 AM He done Evra like a good un.
Flawless 04-24-2008, 10:31 AM 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.
