    Barcelona to shade it. Score draw is probably going to be the final result. I can see it being fairly quiet and tetchy until Barcelona score first, then that lights a fire under Utd.

    For me I can't call it.

    But if United show up and play the football we all know they can and still get beaten, then fair enough the better side went true, I'd be disappointed but at least we went out giving it a proper go.

    Sums it up for me too. Although I haven't been nervous all day thanks to GTA 4 stealing my attention. Im bricking it now though. :p

    I really do think United will mess this up tonight. They have to go back to the way they were playing 3-4 weeks ago, go out and attack Barca and they will definitely win. Sit back and hope to counter and i cant see them getting a result.

    I'm not putting any bets on cos I don't think it's fair to expect United to win when they're under a hex!

    Unless Ferguson tries to get tactical, United will win and win well. 3 or 4 - 1 methinks.

    2 sources on BBC saying that Gary Neville is doing some pretty serious warm-up routine on his own on the pitch at the moment?

    Could he possibly play or am I just going mad with anxiety?

    Boom!

    Man. United

    * 1 Van der Sar
    * 3 Evra
    * 4 Hargreaves
    * 5 Ferdinand

    * 13 Park

    Barca
    SH!T!!! With one striker and no Rooney and Vidic,oh boy,this isnt good....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭herbieflowers


    now we just need to know what system he'll play! Ronaldo up front off Tevez? Ronaldo as central striker?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    Barca (Barca fans)
    I'd guess at Ronaldo up front, Tevez behind, with Nani and Park on the wings.

    Think positive! 3 wingers in the line-up, so it'll have to be 442!

    Just saw the teams , my confidence for the match has gone to bits. Just hope we can get a result tonight.No idea why anderson is on the bench n park is playing.

    Actually scratch that, not sure about that United line-up. That midfield is seriously off form.

    No choices it seems.

    Tonight we need a big performance from Carrick, huge!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭herbieflowers


    Pfft, indulging in Ronaldo - play him on the right ffs!

    with that team it's now going to be an upset if United go through!

    Nani in the starting line up, hopefully will be positive!
    He's been great coming off the bench in recent games, hopefully he can do it from the start tonight.

    COME ON UNITED!!!!

    Who's on the bench?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,046 ✭✭✭eZe^


    Barca
    United have won every game at OT since November 2005, they are still favourites.

    It's not indulging Ronaldo, it's an acknowledgement of the fact that Tevez can't do **** up front on his own and Ronaldo is our 2nd best lead the line striker after Rooney. Shocking state of affairs, but thats the case.

    We've all known this weakness in United's squad, and it looks like its gona hit us tonight.

    Bench
    * 29 Kuszczak
    * 8 Anderson
    * 11 Giggs
    * 22 O'Shea
    * 24 Fletcher
    * 27 Silvestre
    * 47 Welbeck

    Only Anderson can change the game.

    Time for a miracle i think.Alot of people were bitchng about how we didnt grab anelka in january,looks like it is comin back to bite us in the ass.

    Woulda preferred anderson for park and have 5 in midfield n tevez upfront.Good thing i didn't put any money on till i saw the teams.

    No Rooney or Vidic on the bench.

    Anderson, Giggs, Fletch, JOSH, Kuzsczak, Welbeck, Silverstre

    I'm fairly confident tbh... maybe it's just delirium

    Is Welbeck usually on the bench? Maybe he'll make a shock appearance and win it for us! :D

    Not impressed with that team. My confidence is fading fast. I think Giggs would be less prone to have defensive lapses than say Nani. I would play Giggs for the experience factor and I think Anderson needs to play too.

    Poor selection imo. This could be grim viewing.

    I'm hoping for a 1-0 Barcelona win, a 92nd min penalty that clearly is not a pen awarded with Henry taking the spot kick.
