    Barca have a better defence imo.

    Abidal - Pique - Puyol - Alves > Evra - Ferdinand - Vidic - Rafael

    Vidic is the best center half in the world imo but I don't rate Rio too highly.

    Abidal will hopefully put some weight on before the final. He still look very thin tonight.

    Why not, out of interest?

    Man U have lost Ronaldo since then, and Barca have got better.

    cos fergie will set man utd up negatively, he's learned you cannot try play football with barca or you will be crushed. expect to see game like the 2-0 game barca won last week against madrid imo

    Cause like i said earlier utd arent as talented upfront obviously with ron leaving but the team work much harder for each other now, in 09 they were geared up to help ronaldo which didnt work at all since they didnt have much of the ball and when they did get it they wasted by hoofing it up to him all match. Ferguson said he got it well wrong and id expect him to have them well drilled this time, barca might still win ( probably ) but theyll be made to work harder for it i reckon.

    Barca will have so much joy against Evra and whoever plays right back, wether its Rafael/Fabio/O'shea or Brown, for Man U in the final.

    Should be a good final and one Fletcher will be determined to play in. Giggs vs Xavi in middle of the park will be quality

    Thoroughly enjoyable game tonight. Messi? what can you say? an absolute class act in everything he does. With his apparent rival for best player in the world on the same pitch he showed how far ahead he is of that despicable human being ronaldo.

    Yeah, fair point.

    Would be good if it was a total classic - 5-4 or something. :icon_mrgreen:

    To Barca, of course... :56:

    I think rafael will cope tbh, fabio would find it hard, oshea would get tore a new *, villa would be far to quick and nimble for him i think.
    Evra ... depends what form hes in tbh hes had a poor season, can be great though, valencia and park will be giving the full backs cover aswell id think.
    Its the middle of the park where utd will be up against it.

    Man u will go with Rooney on his own and 5 in mid. You couldn't really blame them if they do. Anything else is playing into barca's hands.

    Not sure either, rooney will be dropping deep though like hes has been doing recently to link the midfield and join in defensively, it works well. kinda 4411/ 451 type formation.

    All if's and butts atm.
