    We played in 2nd gear today because of the formation and got a 0-0 draw with Barca.

    SAF must think the Chelsea game is more important thats why he didn't start Anderson and Nani today.

    Nah it was Rio, terrible defending.

    What was funnier was his attempted backpass that went straight out for a corner.

    And people claim this guy is better than Nesta...

    Kudos Zambrotta, Abidal, Toure (being half-injured and pulling out that performance), Iniesta, and Messi for a set of brilliant performances. .

    Abidal contained Rooney, but i would give him a 4 for that stupid tackle on Ronaldo, it could have been given by some stupid ref. What the hell was he thinking! Ronaldo was going away from goal with the ball.

    Iniesta was poor in the 1st half, played a little better in the 2nd, so I wouldn't call his overall performance brilliant at all.

    I don't think it would have taken a stupid ref to give the penalty, just an accurate one. There could have been five penalties given without too much justification for complaint.

    Doh This was one of his better performances this season. Tell me what he's done in a small game - he's usually been worse. He's only performed vs Villa home, Portsmouth home and Newcastle. He is not a flack track bully!!!

    Man U tactics were totally negative to the point Rooney among others lose any forward imagination, creativity, or opening any passing lanes. This could come back and bite them in the second leg..... Crying or Very sad

    Well done Man Utd. They got exactly what they played for. I'm thankful that Ronaldo missed the penalty because it would have been a travesty if they won that game. Truly insipid, cowardly and negative from Man Utd. A squad that costs £150m or so, some of the best attacking players in the world and that is the best they can produce.

    Barca played ok, and at least they tried to do something. Can see Man Utd winning this at OT unfortunately.
    Like I and Cruyff(sp) said before this match - ManU play a long ball game against teams that can keep possession whether that's Boro or Arsenal it doesn't matter. They don't have the ability to play a true possession game.

    cheers

    Andy Gray was going on about the penalty that should have been for the Marquez/ronaldo incident (if stepping across an attacker was a pen then the likes of Terry would give away 10 per game) and then said that Evra made no contact with Iniesta - replay clearly showed otherwise.

    Well this game showed how Milan won 3-0 last year. I think Barca's defense looked so dodgy that an open game would have been better for us.
