UEFA Champions League

Yea but apart from the defence Man Utd were poor, at times Barcelona schooled them.

Ronaldinho is a big loss(when he is at his best of course). Eto'o was very poor i thought. He should start Henry in the 2nd leg.

They only played defence.

Nooo Henry looks lost at Barca. Although he could probably do it against Man Utd.

Barca really schooled us on the passing game.

Where was Ronaldo all this time, ah yes... doing nothing against actual good defenders....

to be fair...he had no defenders near him for the penalty...

He was up front, on his own. He, Tevez and Rooney were all isolated. What was he supposed to do with the service he got? You can't blame Ronaldo for that, it was the way Fergie set out his stall. Don't forget that he should have had another penalty when that dirty little shit Marquez fouled him in the box. He then dived to try and get a penalty at the other end.

It's frustrating to see United play dull, dour football, but I guess you have to accept and appreciate a good defensive display away from home every once in a while. Especially if it takes us to the Champions League final.

Man Utd were poor as awhole, C.Ronaldo will get most of the backlash. Rooney was woeful, Tevez battled but did little else, Park ran and ran, C.Ronaldo isolated, did some decent things not overly good however

 

[hizzle?]

I don't know why you guys are saying that they were poor...

They obviously weren't trying to win the game, they played 4 5 1 trying to keep the score at 0-0...

To me, knowing that they wanted a tie game, they played a great match.

They sat back, told Barca "Play...show us your game" and Barca didn't do shit, possessing the ball 65% of the time!

They'll get hammered at Old Trafford.

Most boring CL Semis, ever. lol

 

[Bachaveli]

Barca should have scored a goal at least. Socks.

Will Ronaldhinio play in next leg?

Of course he wont. Ronaldinho is finished at Barca

It was a great performance from the back four though, can't criticise them in anyway. Thought Rio and particularly Evra (apart from one time when Messi skinned him alive), were immense. It's a cagey scoreline though, If Barca score once at OT we have to score twice, still anyones game no matter what the media says. In the papers here they're rambling on about United being firm favorites which is bollocks in my opinion.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^But its hard to see where Barca's goals are gonna come from. Eto'o has been poor recently. Henry should start. Ronaldinho is a big loss.He could have provided that moment of magic and won the game for Barca last night.

 

[hizzle?]

Ronaldinho hasn't had a moment of magic for months... Last one was that bicycle kick in the box.

 

[Sebastian]

Really, really poor performance. Well, like some of you have said, if you put your focus on keeping it on 0:0 it was ok. But c'mon, you always want to score one goal away, dont you? Anyway, ManU will reach the final, like i thought they will. Barca is poor and they were lucky to face Schalke.lol

 

[Bobby Sands]

Ronaldo is such a prick. Himself and Zambrotta both went for a ball out near the sideline. Zambrotta used his strenght to hold Ronaldo off like any good defender will do. Ronaldo hit the deck and nearly started crying because he didnt get a free.He makes me sick.

Eto'o has been poor recently? 14 goals in 14 games last time I checked.

And Ronnie right now has got more chance of pulling a white rabbit out of a had than producing magic. Seriously, Ronaldinho was goddamn awesome, but hes been a waste for over a year, if anything he made Barca weaker in his last few games due to him slowing down the play.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Didnt realise Eto'o scored that much. I haven't been keeping up to date with La Liga recently.

I meant that Ronaldinho could have produced some magic if he was at his best.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Aye I originally thought thats what you meant.

Anyway UEFA Cup action

Bayern 1-1 with Zenit
Rangers 0-0Fiorentina

so far

Zenit are a real good side.
