this thread has been quiet the success lets keep it rolling

for the second leg of the Man U v Barca
i think AF has risked the EPL for the champions league but i believe it will come back to haunt him cause Barca will go all out with no other silverware for them beside this.
i'm expecting a hot game that'll finish 2-1 to Barca with the same team as last week but the only difference will be United will defend less and pay

Barca gave it all they had last game. If SAF decides to play offence, and puts Rooney at striker, then the ball posession will be more even because man U will keep it longer. Instead of having 10 men behind the ball, they'll have 8-9. If Barca can penetrate and move more in the box and run to the posts, then it is without a doubt their game because they have the best ability to KEEP the ball out of any club in the world. If Man U wants to win this, they will have to take a lot of fastbreaks with Ronaldo and Rooney, and hope to catch Barca's defence flatfooted so that they can put a few in the net.

agreed but with Vidic out and some other absences in defense it just might be enough for Henry and Co. to hit the back of the net and you did see the impact Henry had when he came on just imagine what he can do when he starts off

thats true. He had one laser shot. But then again, man U have cristiano Ronaldo, who can take apart a defence single handedly if need be. Both teams are stacked, so I think it comes out to which style comes out triumphant. Without SAF's crap tactics of last leg, man U will play their style, so the game will amount to a clash of styles. Personally, I would like to see more crosses from Barca (my style is short passes then a cross, or overlapping runs down the side then a cross), and I would like to see Man U cut down on the shit through balls and take more short passes.

man utd will go all out attack but so will barca. i think barca have a better attack and will make better use of chances.

no barca's finish sucks because of...read my previous comments...but they will still have majority of ball possesssion

when you have messi and eto on the feile and hopefully henry things willl be differenet

[TheGodEmperor]

well they werent, and my reason was correct. I should take the top job at Nou Camp.  :pimp:

[manutd.]

Good discussions here guys!

I think SAF's tactical issues were great today. Had to play without Vida and Rooney but made good decisions. Our corners were very lovely, and Hargreaves was a great decision for right back.

Cheers SAF and my fellows that are off to Moscow!  :cheers:

Nani should always play instead of Rooney

i know that fat ass is good for nothing

i know that fat ass is good for nothing

hes good only when he gets to the 18. Nani is just SICK, with good movement on and off the ball. We should start discussing CL finals tactics.

[manutd.]

Wow,  :bs:

Do you even know what you're saying? Rooney is so forceful in CL matches, and International, he plays with heart, and I know that doesn't mean you're good, but it makes him play better and more confident in the big stages.

[TheGodEmperor]

anyways back on topic...I think Chelsea will play with defensive mids against man U, and SAF will let his attack go wild now that they're on British soil. C. Ronaldo and Nani on he wings.
