That annoys me when they say he beat the goalkeeper. You just don't know because the ball hit the bar. If it was a bit lower then the keeper would have saved it anyway

Giggs for Younng.
Looking like this could be a regular switch.
Smalling on for Evans.

Jaaskelainen always looked like he was a good keeper, but over the last year he's looked far less solid and gotten worse. Jaded, perhaps.

Who was saying Messi is never bad? He's been poor since he came on and a spinning diving attempt to win a penalty. Finishes 2-2, Vela was great in the final 10 mins set up a few chances, huge pressure on their goal.
Barca just stopped passing in the second half, Xavi/Thiago fell apart, first half they got the ball, looked up to see who was running in behind and sent the pass in, second half they just stopped that, holding on to the ball, being harassed, making mistakes, Fabregas, later messi, villa, they ran along the back line in the same way waiting for the passes and they just weren't coming.
Valdes always gave away a hilarious goal, the play was stopped so they were giving the ball back to Barca and Valdes was just walking back for ages to the goal with his back turned, he turned around at the last second and dived on the ball but that could easily have gone in.
Real have the chance to take a proper lead now, also yet again it shows a team that pretty much sits back, is suicide against Barca. Get at them and they fall apart(or at least get a good deal worse).
I think thats one of the main reasons Utd and City are taking such an attacking stance this year, finally realising to win the CL and play better football, you've got to attack teams like Barca.

Beautiful passing but Rooney cocks up again. His passing is abysmal.
Rafael out for a few months after a shoulder op. Dislocated it & had op, again.
Fabio just been sat out as Smalling/Jones have been preferred at RB which isn't surprising, really.

No Berbatov today either, boo.
He has to go in Jan. He must get the hint by now that he isn't in SAF plans this season. With Welbeck and Chico scoring goals, Berba is now 3rd choice.
I'm not so sure about that. We'll see.

Should have played it inside there.
Rooney is scoring but his passing is frustratingly ****.

I wonder where Owen fits into Fergie's plans. I remember reading quotes from Owen in the pre-season where he says he was promised game time by Fergie.
