Good to see that the two best teams by a long margin are contesting the final, doesn't usually happen that way. Think Barca will be too good again for United. And you can be sure United won't play the sh*te tactics that Real Madrid did. Should be a cracker

Barca to take it 3-1 because simply we do not have the midfield to complete.
- Our only hope is counter attack.
- If we keep Messi quiet like in 2008, job half done!
- Valenia and the Defence will be instrumental for us if we are to win.

for definate you can say that the two sides deserve to be there. Very hard to call. Utd's defence is immense, Barca's is probably it's weakest point. But midfield, Barca have the players who can dominate possession, then they have the genius in Messi who can make goals on his own. I would fancy Barca but Utd also have the Wembley factor and if they can put in a big performance in midfield and keep Barca out with their immense defence, then they could catch them on the counter. Really looking forward to the game though, whatever the outcome

i reckon utd have every chance. they will be dogged as they have all season but fergie will not make the huge error morinho made in the 1st game, you cant realistically hope to soak barca up for 90 minutes unless you have great defence with samuel and lucio like inter last season. he managed it last year but you cant get away with it all the time. utd to win it 2-1. ------------- When you're chewing on life's gristle, don't worry give a whistle.... |

Very, very difficult to call. Something's gotta give. I'm starting to fancy United's chances (but literally by the narrowest of a fraction of a percentage). There's just something about the fact that Sir Alex has said he's looking forward to playing them again months after the final defeat in 09 that makes me think he knows exactly what needs to be done to stifle Barca and beat them. He's been playing this game in his head for almost two years. Having said all that, if Barcelona score first - and we all know that's a massive possibility - and with that massive soaking pitch at Wembley - I can see them frustrating United no end and seeing the game out! If we were to go on the two teams' performances in Europe this season then United just shade it - but that form probably won't count for anything apart from the psychological belief that United will players will have regarding not conceding away from OT in Europe this season. But Barcelona surely have the psychological belief that they can beat any team on the planet - and they'd be justified in thinking that! I question how great a spectacle it will be....I still maintain first goal is key. I hope the final isn't decided by a refereeing decision, but I expect it to be so close, that that's probably how it will end up being decided. Hopefully, whoever wins it, will have deserved to have won it. This Barcelona side are one of the best sides our generation has ever seen and I think it would be fitting if they won two European Cups at least. But it would be just like Sir Alex Ferguson to win the European Cup and the Premier League having been told all season by pundits that this squad is too weak. ------------- If I keep writing enough hagiographic articles on Man Utd, they might give me a job |

there is gonna be some pressure on the ref in this game with all the voices about barca getting preferential treatment and it being in wembley - i have a feeling a big call is gonna go uniteds way!!! looking forward to watching it hopefully it wont fail to live up to the hype that is already been put on it. As a bit of a newcastle fan (going over to last game v west brom on 22nd) i dont give a flying duck who wins so long as it goes to penalties. Van der sar deserves to go out on a high though. Howay the lads!! ------------- If in doubt just f**k it out!!! Stop the nonsense as Johnny Giles would say |

Here's Steve McClaren's view from the BBC website - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/13288954.stm - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/13288954.stm Thought in 2009 that United gave the ball away too cheaply. They actually had plenty of opportunities in Rome to keep possession but kept giving it away. I thought in an effort to beat the Barca pressing of the ball United tried to play long diagonal balls to Rooney on the left and Ronaldo through the middle and drifting wide right, trying to take the Barca midfield out of the game and put pressure on their back four. A lot of the passes were aimless and Ronaldo was unable to hold the ball up like a traditional centre forward. He was never really one for chasing lost causes either and despite his brilliance I think Chicharito might hold the ball up better, make different runs and keep the Barca back four more honest. His workrate will be higher than Ronaldo's was in Rome. That's not to take anything away from the Barca pressing and workrate which was outstanding and two of their regular back four that season were missing in Rome so they had to change things around. Of course when they have the ball they keep it so well too and Michael Carrick was badly shocked by the chasing he got. Provided all are fit for the final I think the back five will be VDS, Rafael, Rio, Vidic, Pat Evra. I would hope that Chich and Rooney start up front so Fergies big dilemma will be how to fit Park, Carrick, Giggs, Fletcher and Valencia into a midfield four. I have a feeling Fergie will want to play Fletcher (the only United regular missing in Rome) and as he can play wide right or in the middle he may start instead of Tony V on the right. That would be sacrificing more creativity on the wing for legs in the middle. ------------- Back o' the Net ! |

Actually can see a lot of the '08 final in this. United dominating the first half and Barcelona, like Chelsea in '08, dominating the second half. I'd go for 1-1, then extra time with both teams tiring. Think a mistake will win it in extra time but have no idea for which team, hopefully united obviously. Wembley is a massive pitch and whatever the composition of the pitch is, it's hard on the legs. My big fear is one of the Da Silva twins (probably fabio cos he should start) doing something stupid. They have a natural habit of gesturing and giving out when decisions go against them (and they will against Barcelona) and whatever ref it is, he's going to be under severe pressure and will want to stamp his authority on the game early. If it's 10 v 11, barcelona will just do what Bayern did last year against United or Barcelona did to Real in the first leg. |

I still see it as first-goal wins it. Not only because United have the best defense in Europe and are great at closing things up when they need - and also because Barca are so f**king good at keeping the ball and seeing out games in their own way should they score first; but because this Wembley pitch is such a drain. If Barca score first and Unted are chasing around seeking possession, they'll be dead on their feet by the hour mark. The game will fizzle out - just like it did in the 09 final. But there's something about Fergie saying he knows what went wrong in that final and that it won't happen again should we play Barcelona that makes me fancy United's chances. But for all the tactical planning and all the brilliance of carrying out tactics by the players involved on both sides - this could genuinely be decided by the bounce of a ball, a refereeing decision or even penalties. How's that for sitting on the fence? But in all seriousness, the more I sit down and think about it, I keep coming up with the conclusion that United will probably win. I think United will stifle their best individual stars, so I wouldn't worry too much about a moment of magic from Messi or Villa or Xavi...jaysus that list can go on....I'm more worried that if Barca open the scoring form even a set-piece or something, then I think we could be chasing (literally) a lost cause. They could make us look terrible should they just need to see the game out - as they did in 09. First goal wins it. And because - like you - I'm sure United will be the better side and control the pace of the game for the early part - then I'll go with them to win. I f**kin' hope so anyway. If Barca win it, and deserve to win it, then we can't complain. ------------- If I keep writing enough hagiographic articles on Man Utd, they might give me a job |

Barca's form in Europe is not so hot away from the Nou Camp, although they've upped their game in the last two knock out stages. Statistically, when the finals have been played in one club's home country, it's usually been to their advantage. I know these things shouldn't make much difference, but they do. It could well be enough to give United the edge. It should make for an interesting tactical battle, as Fergie will be looking to gain revenge for 09. I cannot see him sending out a side that will be humiliated like they were in 09. I expect to see both Park and Fletcher play to try and negate Barcelona's passing. It'll be interesting to see how they will shackle Messi. Barcelona will have their own worries too, especially if Fergie plays Hernandez along with Rooney as they will trouble Barca's sluggish defence. I hope it's an exciting final and it has all the possibilities of been just so, but unfortunately, big finals are often big let downs...I think United's best chance will be to let rip at them in the first half hour and hope to get ahead. If they don't, Barcelona will wear them out and down and will eventually capitalise on tiring limbs. |

That comment has always interested me. Barca scored after 10 minutes in Rome, 80 minutes is a long time for a game to fizzle out. United collapsed after Barca scored and SAF had 80 minutes to change it around. At the very least he could have changed it around at half time, surely he realised what was going wrong then ? I'd love for an interviewer to ask him to explain that comment on the pitch after the game at Wembley as he's holding the European Cup ------------- Back o' the Net ! |

The irony of united starting well in '09 and eto'o scoring after 10 minutes isn't lost on me but Park should have scored from Ronaldo's free kick before that (before anyone starts, barcelona deserved to win in '09). I expect united to come out fighting again at the start. With those ticket prices, I can't see 25,000+ Barcelona fans at wembley. Alot of their allocation will end up in the hands of United fans, hopefully it will create a great atmosphere with the united chants coming from all four sides. I definitely think Fletcher will start though, he's disciplined enough to stay back and stick to his job whereas Anderson isn't and that's not really carricks full game. Giggs to start somewhere around the middle with Rooney making diagonal runs and Nani/Valencia/Park stretching the Barcelona defense from out wide could open them up. Who do you think won't make the squad? Think Owen won't make it and O'Shea's versitility might swing it for him over Rafael. |
Posted By: Chopra Gunner
Date Posted: 06 May 2011 at 4:51pm
I think it was something to do with team selection, Ronaldo tried to be the hero that night (had 5 shots in the first 10 mins) and Ryan Giggs was in the Darren Fletcher role as he was suspended. Giggs was in an interview in the paper today saying its his second-most regretted moment in football (the first was losing the league to Leeds in 1991). He said something along the lines of the players not responding to Barca's goal and freezing on the big stage, which was unlike the team. ------------- What are you looking at? |

| If he fills out the midfield with fletcher, carrick and giggs and only plays Rooney upfront, Berbatov and Hernandez will obviously be on the bench. If he starts with Rooney and Hernandez then I'd be surprised if he had Owen on the bench with Berbatov. Valencia, Nani, Park, Fletcher, Carrick, Giggs and Scholes aren't all going to start. Include a sub keeper, two defenders and it will make it hard for him to have Owen and Berbatov on the bench IMO. If the league is wrapped up before the Blackpool game, i expect alot of the players who won't make it to wembley to start against them at OT (and expect all the relegated clubs to be giving out about it too if Blackpool get a point and stay up). Expect Owens last game for United to be against Blackpool. |

You wouldn't want the fisherman to do much more work than cast the line, surely!!! ------------- If I keep writing enough hagiographic articles on Man Utd, they might give me a job |

Probably not. Lost out on the first ballot with no Euro aways - second ballot on Friday but doubt they'll have too many tickets. This would've been my 21st match of the season and the amount of fookers that will be there at their 1st Although i hear if MintBerry's mate can't make it i'm first on the list  |

From F365, i know the source is the sun but they seem confident. The Sun has dared to name the Manchester United team which will start Saturday's Champions League final, claiming that Sir Alex Ferguson has already decided to select the same 11 players who started last month's semi-final at Schalke. The newspaper offers no clue as to their source, although it must be very sure of its story given that the announcement is splashed it on their back page under a banner headline of 'Revealed'. If true, it means that Michael Carrick will line up in the centre of midfield alongside Ryan Giggs, with Antonio Valencia on the right and Ji-Sung Park on the left. There has been speculation that Sir Alex would flood the midfield with a 4-5-1 formation but it is instead reported that Wayne Rooney will partner Javier Hernandez up front in a bold deployment. Reported United Team: Van der Sar, Fabio Da Silva, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Valencia, Giggs, Carrick, Park Ji-Sung, Rooney, Hernandez. |

That's super stuff from the Sun, picking Fergie's team three days before the final... Hw about picking it 3 weeks before the final and getting it spot on, like I did here: http://www.ybig.ie/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29351&KW=&PID=626267&title=champions-league-semis#626267 - http://www.ybig.ie/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29351&KW=&PID=626267&title=champions-league-semis#626267 The team has still to be confirmed as we all know. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a place for Fletcher and all of this talk over the past two days has been put out there by United. We'll see... ------------- If I keep writing enough hagiographic articles on Man Utd, they might give me a job |
