No threads here?? I know it is just a pre-season, but still it is Barcelona.. Not ready to get owned already?
Not all that bothered really. We beat them 2-1 in the same match last year, with Owen scoring the winner. That should tell you all you need to know about the importance of this match in terms of the season as a whole.
Nah. It's impossible for any Utd team to park as big a bus as Chelsea. We just can't bring ourselves to do it to the game...
Now come on Drogs, you can't argue that the bus hasn't played a vital role for you over the years. I think it's about time you gave it some credit. In fact, many would argue that the bus deserves a CL winners medal more than Terry does
When United played the worst Barca side for ages (17 points behind Madrid in La Liga) in 2008, possession stats were the worst under SAF's tenure at home. 38: 62. Scholes scored and they parked. Away was worse. 27: 73 v a Barca side in disarray under Rikjaard
It's called having another option, why on earth would any manager with half a brain cell go into a match knowing they're going to get hammered in by trying to play them at their own game? Over the past couple of years we've seen this Barca teams DESTROY teams like Madrid and yourselves! If we went into it attack minded they'd have done exactly the same to us. It's the only way to play the best club team on the planet Likewise with you and grammar!
Isn't that better possession stats than Chelsea had against a Barcelona side that finished 9 points behind Real Madrid?
