    1. Rijkaard has been preparing extensively for this game, apparently watching 5 of Man. Utd's matches from the Premier League and all 10 of their games in the CL this season. The team also trained behind closed doors yesterday.

    2. Most papers expect Man. Utd. to start with the lineup Glenn has suggested. ie. the standard back 4, with Hargreaves-Carrick-Scholes in midfield, Giggs-Ronaldo on the flanks, and Rooney up front. I wouldn't rule out Anderson starting instead of Scholes though, esp. to help with counter attacks.

    3. Henry is likely to be fit, but Mundo Deportivo is expecting an attack of Messi-Etoo-Iniesta, with Deco coming into midfield.

    Ronaldo does not defend which is why he will play up front by himself. Fergie trusts rooney and giggs/park to do a better job defensively, especially as they will be up against messi and henry

    iD BE HAPPY WITH THAT,,,I JST WANT TRW TO RAPE BARCAS DEFENCE IN A NICE WAY - DOES NOT Very Happy HAVE TO BE DOUBLE PENETRATION!

    Good things comes to those that wait.

    It'll be -

    vdS
    Evra
    Rio
    Vidic
    Brown
    Carrick
    Hargreaves
    Scholes or Anderson
    Park or Giggs
    Ronaldo
    Rooney

    4-3-3

    With Scholes and Park getting the nod imo.

    I think Rijkaard might "surprise" us and play Deco instead of Iniesta and move Iniesta to Henry's position.

    I was some what thinking that might be the case because Henry had some physical problems anyway. We'll see. I think Iniesta would be better in Henry's place but I don't think Deco will help very much in midfield.

    Xavi is still awesome, but the problem is this season he's been doing a lot of what golsud says - gets the ball, and goes backwards or in circles trying to protect it from an opponent, then eventually passes it to the defenders. As I said a few days back, it's as if he's swallowed a malfunctioning GPS device.

    Earlier he was a genius at receiving the ball, and quickly releasing it up the pitch, maintaining our possession and also a very high rate of ball circulation. I guess part of the problem is the midfield and attack just doesn't run as much anymore, or maintain their close positions as well as they used to. It's very spread out right now, and our passing game is not fluent at all.
