to me, Wilshere and Iniesta is a two different type of player. Wilshere have that glimpse of creativity but his type of play suits him more to play in DM as a deep playmaking role. Iniesta on the other hand, a pure attacking midfielder and more suited to play in advance role probably behind the forwards. just my personal opinion.

no, i don't think so. Arsenal surely wanted to beat Barca and advance. Too bad, Barca was too strong for them.

We need Fletcher in the center of the park against Arsenal. he definitely the key to break Arsenal passing and free flowing football with his constant pressing and running. Carrick and Scholes will definitely benefit from that. If Fletcher play in the middle, SAF have no choice but to field Rooney on the flank and let Berbatov or Hernandez as lone striker.

yeah. Giggs was a never a good freekick taker when it comes to direct freekick to goal. if delivering freekick to player's head then Giggs quite excel in it.

that part, frankly I miss Becks and CR freekick. We hardly to get direct FK score anymore, sometimes Nani can do it but not consistently direct to goal.

Look back at past, United is expert in it.

sometimes I'm just wondering why Scholes does not want the FK taker role since there isnt one that excel (like Ronaldo /Beckham last round).

too direct.not enough twist to the kick

perhaps we should line Gibson as freekick taker.nobody is brave enough(or english enough) to stand in the way of his kick anyway

if i'm not mistaken, Scholes requested from SAF during early in his career that he don't want to take freekick, corner kick, penalty kick and captain the side. dunno why though. too low profile.

i remember *some team* din update their thread title after their lose. the title is like "west ham next!" and straightaway after than "man utd next!". well after the win against us somehow the thread title been updated with the score. i wonder why

Biasa... I lazy to cakap coz i think some people have their own way of satisfaction...

Anyone rooting for Spurs tonight?

Hell yeah, Spurs for UCL after United, that would be one hell of a dream campaign.

Our unbeaten run was dented by losing to the last placed team at that time so losing to a 6th place team is an improvement la kan? Hahaha.

Where was the 'at least' when we lost the UCL Final to Barcelona? At least we lost to a treble-winning-team Barcelona + at least we lost in the UCL FINAL match. Fine, on a more up-to-date spirit, at least we lost to a 6th place team and yet maintained our 1st spot.

they dint say at least they dint lose to chelsea/wolves lol

u know, now i look back at the replay about RVP's 2nd yellow card, it really isnt a yellow at all. Tons of players continue dribbling after the whistle, heck even Ronaldo used to continue dribbling and try to round the keeper at times. Really does seem harsh. One may argue (and i do agree) that his first yellow card was preventable by him himself, but still that 2nd yellow card doesnt even warrant a warning, in my opinion.

That being said, i'm not saying if RVP is still playing they would have won it, im just commenting on that 1 single incident

wat a goal

Apart from the built up, Messi cheeky flick over almunia make this goal so perfect...

Yeah VPS was wrongly yellow carded for 2nd time... really harsh yellow card for him....

i wonder how much do Barca train these type of plays, where their players make a run and Xavi or Iniesta make a through pass which totally beats the offside trap. they really make it to perfection. Seems like every single game there will be at least 1 goal of this type.

man the goal is great!!! messi is really wonderful

i'm wondering one thing when Pep Guardiola made a comment that said Wilshere only as good as Barca reserve players and claimed that plenty of Wilshere type of players in the reserve. i really want to know how did they develop those players into the likes of Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, and Fabregas. ajax is known for their academy that produced great footballers; bergkamp, kluivert, sneidjer, VDV, etc but Barcelona academy seem not far behind. we used to be proud of our academy too when they produced Beckham, Nevilles, Butt, Scholes but that seem to fade away now. we just buy potential starlet and polish them like CR, Nani, Da silvas, Anderson, and Macheda. of course, there are Fletcher, Evans and Brown coming from our youth rank but not as explosive as class of 92.

waa so thats how messi scored....i see defending woes more then messi lauded too much.

now now dont get me wrong, im not implying guns have bad defence but at that particular moment they didnt defend well.messi was so free running among them.

btw were still lock down~ reminds me of roma's lockdown tho they went to the extreme by keeping players at trigoria instead of going to their mansions

on tonight's game, im a bit unsure who i want to qualify...its more me looking at us then the others.who ever comes comes we will be there ready to take them on after we knock marseille down~~!!
