UEFA Champions League Final - Manchester United vs. Barcelona

SAF to Rooney 'I'm your ****ing manager and you're not a fullback'. Good man :D

Right... got to half time with a draw. Now we need to calm down and stop rushing the final ball second half. COME ON UNITED!
 
Well we're not losing.

Great goal but our play (with the exception of the first 10 mins) has been shaky. Marking zonally is giving their players soooo much space. For that last chance 4 of our midfielders were marking no-one while Messi was completely free.

Our passing has been too erratic too, VdS's distribution has been unusally poor, several times just kicking it straight out of play :(

Valencia needs to be more involved in the match, Hernandez just isn't involved at all at the moment, needs to stay onside.

We should be behind on the play but we're not, now lets see what happens.
 
Utd had most of the play in the first 10 minutes then allowed Barca to get back into their stride. Fergie needs to calm them down a bit at half time. A bit too much getting rid of the ball too quickly when an easy ball was on. If we hold the ball then Barca can't score. Question is do we have the players to hold it.

There is definite space behind their Back 3 & a 1/2 and that isn't hoofing it either. They build from the back so we need to pressure them in their 3rd of the field.

Giggs and Tony V Need to step it up.
 
Well been a great game to watch, First 10mins UTD had Barca quite and like Rome they let it slip and Barca got their goal, UTD slowly crept back into it and got one of their own.

Messi is getting closer each time though. Hope 2nd half brings more goals :D
 
Comeon Barca ffs.
Utd lucky to go in 1-1 tbh. If it wasn't for Vidic making some world class challenges and Villa for some reason not wanting to shoot himself it could have been all over.
