katana Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Well, at the moment, 1-0 down to Barca at 1/2 time. Expect they'll be getting the hair drier treatment from Sir Alex for 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully by then that waste of air Berbatov has fuc_ked off, but can't see anyone prepared to spend 30 million of the lazy spineless prick.

He's not worth 30baht, let alone 30 million quid. Honestly, he has the ability to be a greta player, but just totally lacks the right attitude. His comments prior to the game about if it went to penalties, he wouldn't take on just sums him up, no spirit, no bottle - just a selfish mercenary. That pathetic, headed attempt when umarked was worse than some club players.For me he is a disgrace to the shirt. I hope, if he stays next season he proves me wrong.

R123 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Well Man U were so bad against Barca it was laughable. So at least we now have a decent comedy show on UBC. Rather like Newcastle the other day as soon as they conceded they surrendered. Another thing both teams have in common since based on the evidence of these recent games the respective managers are tactically clueless and equally useless!

Yes but evidence isn't based on one single game - not at least when you have managed for as long as Sir Alex has. Picasso painted thousands of pictures. Are you telling me there are no duffs in amongst that lot? Doesn't make him a useless artist though, does it?

Spot on. They get away with it when they produce a moment of magic or a goal - the other times they just look like dead wood. Must admit my heart sank when he came on - nor was i that elated to see Tevez - a lot of hustle but no end product. Speaking of forwards, if someone told me Rooney wasn't on the pitch last night, i'd almost believe them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather like Newcastle the other day as soon as they conceded they surrendered. Another thing both teams have in common since based on the evidence of these recent games the respective managers are tactically clueless and equally useless! Wondered how long it would take for one to come out of the woodwork. Ferguson useless ? Whats he won 35 trophies ? After 9 minutes it was all Barca and good luck to them. If anyone saw the interviews with Giggs, Ronalda and Fergsuon they all agreed on one thing Barca were the better team on the night.Hindsight is a wonderful thing and im sure we all have ideas of what went wrong, tactics, players etc but it was ,without Fletcher, the same team that took Arsenal apart. Well done Barca for the style you play hopefully some other clubs will take notice. Lastly what an awful ground to watch footblall from .if you were behind the goals you were 150 metres from play at the other end. Seating capacity 67,000 nearly 10,000 less than OT. Shouldn't football be played on football grounds not multi purpose stadiums ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of forwards, if someone told me Rooney wasn't on the pitch last night, i'd almost believe them. i (almost) feel sorry for rooney though as he's being asked to play a role that isn't his natural game. he'd have been far more effective in the role that ferguson picked giggs to do, operating between the two midfielders and ronaldo up front. he's more energetic than giggs so at least would have hassled the barca middle three a little more. united effectively started last night with three key players playing out of position. really strange choice from the manager given who barca were without.

jjp Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I was trying to think of a silver lining about getting beaten and I suppose the only good thing about not winning the UCL is that we don't have to play in the super cup and the world club championship in Dubai and it leaves us free to go for number 19 next season without the disraction of playing the extra games. aye well, only four trophies this season.

To be fair, Barça would have done the same to any other team too. not sure i agree with that. think liverpool and chelsea are both better set up to combat a team like barca because they both use specialist defensive midfielders to stop opponents playing in front of their back four. united don't have that, particularly in the absence of fletcher and hargereaves.

rixalex Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I was trying to think of a silver lining about getting beaten Actually i feel surprisingly little pain about the loss. That's the good thing about being beaten fair and square - there are no ifs, buts or maybes. Not like for example when we got knocked out by Porto a few years back. That really hurt because we didn't deserve it. This time we did. I think also the fact that we won the competition last year, and by a fair dollup of good fortune, helps ease the pain. Put it another way, i would have been far more gutted had we lost the Premiership this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
