Water under the bridge but...

[Rockman]

Fergie made some crucial mistakes.
I said I would not have started the in form Giggs in the Atsenal game in preparation of the Barca game.Evra was repeatedly exposed,Fletcher sidelined and Berbie totally ignored.Maybe Barca would have beaten my starting eleven but even so we would have been in a better position fine tuning the team for next year.
Messi wide open,Villa's goal was fantastic,clearly Barca was better.

[Sir X]

Cant understand Nani on the bench and Berbatov not on the bench ? Fergie was clueless tell me he didnt try to beat Barca in the midfield ?

Madness ! Tell him leave that to pool after seeing Liverpool toy with them what did he expect fropm Barca ?

Maschi had that locked , I even saw Maschi on the wings .I cant wait for us to be back where we belong.It cant come fast enough.

Errors , Blunders a joke , Man U came to watch Barca play.

[Tilla]

Barca was unstoppable. I do not see a team on the planet which would have stopped them yesterday.

ManUre were outplayed in every aspect of the game. I hate to say the same fate would be met by Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool or any other team that came up against them yesterday. It does not matter how you want to shuffle that ManUre side, the result would be the same. It is just the reality. . .

[Sir X]

LOL...speak for your team.

[Rockman]

It is not a question of how good Barca was but how bad Man U was.

No need to 2nd guess Fergie. If he had packed the midfield and lost, ppl would still 2nd guess his move. Barca's midfield is simply the best.

[Sir X]

2nd dat Rock.

[Muadib]

Manu had 32% Possession and score a goal !

Yuh tink dat easy gainst Barca ?

Mi have newfound rispek fi ManU.. mi all si dem a box ball come down di field !


The offside goal was a thing of beauty.. against the run of play.. ketch Barca flat footed.. Puyol did muss vex..

Wheh duh yuh ?

[Rockman]

Park is why Nani was on the bench,we needef Fletcher for the same reason Park was given the heads up. ..

[Rockman]

It was a pathetic performance by Man U ,we were disgraced

[Muadib]

suh hold on.. di bookies nevah predict 3-1 ?

What is the surprise about ?

As in 2009, your team started brightly. They put Barca under pressure and almost forced a barca own goal. The problem is that that was only 10 minutes, you have to sustain that pace for 90+. With the personnel at his disposal, the only thing that I think may have been a better approach was to have Fletcher and Nani in for Giggs and Park, but I'm not sure.

You needed to figure out a way to stop them further up the park but there was no one on the pitch from Manu** that could pull that off especially with Hernandez and Rooney not being effective defensively when Barca were coming out of their own half.

Thats it .... Giggs has been instrumental since the quarter finals, Park has been labelled a big game player due to his fighting attitude. The team Fergie started can be seen as the best combination lately so if he had dropped any player and the team lost, he would still be 2nd guessed.

Real MAdrid played 4-6 and still couldn't beat Barca. One has to be honest, the only way to beat this team is for them to have a bad day.

I don't get it, Xavi is called the Pass MAster yet he is always in space to conduct proceedings. I see teams flood the mid to try and stop Barca and they still use their 3 midfielders to dominate.

Respect due.

[Rockman]

Correct,and Giggsy was never my choice for obvious reasons.Much has been said about Barca's passing game fueling possession,and not enough about their defensive game;they closed us down insomuch that all Lenky wanted to do was boot the ball as far away from his half as possible,we should have acted in kind.

[Rockman]

Packing the midfield was never an option for me,Carrick would be better alongside Fletcher,and Scholes(the right sub)did steady the ship going forward.Park and Fletcher were essential if we had any chance of containing...,and just maybe that would've sparked Rooney's natural instinct of being a defensive presence.
There was good thing about the game,Rooney scored.....,that is tremendous regarding future encounters.
Exactly what about the first half would make you understand why no substitues were used for the start of the second?
