yeah... enough of Ronaldo...
so whats everyones feelings about the final??
ive been wanting to draw Barca since they destroyed us in Rome.
i can understand that were big underdogs for this final... but ive got a good feeling about this.
This team isnt necessarily the best team out there... but geezz they seem to do well with what theve got.
were gonna need massive games by Park & Fletcher... there gonna have to work like monsters in the middle of the park.
Interesting to see if Fletcher plays. He has a few weeks to prove his fitness.
I hope we play 4-4-2 with Rooney as the withdrawn forward, so he can drop to mid when we don't have the ball but support Chico upfront. He will help cut out the pass the holding midfielder, which is the usual ball Barca like to play if an attack is coming to nothing.
Chico has enough pace to really trouble the Barca defence.
The wingers i would go with Park and Valencia. I like the solid nature of there play. Nani on the bench in case we need him.
The other option is 5 in mid, with Anderson in for Chico. To me that would invite to much pressure and isolate Rooney. I hope Fergie is true to his word and not fear Barca. Respect them yes, but not fear them.
Going to be a difficuly game to call. Hopefully we will get a ref who doesn't fall for all the play acting. In fact I hope Barca don't try to cheat and try to beat us fair. We don't need another match like the semi. If they do that, fair enough, they are a hell of a team.
Disagree with one point you make though. This team is one of the best out there. Monster defence, solid mid and awesome forward line. People seem to think United getting to the final is due to an easy run, well it isn't. Zero goals conceded away from home, beat the French and English champions.
Anyway thats my view on United, how does one of the resident Barca fans think they will line up?
