Barca were awesome when attacking in that game, which they weren't really against arsenal, but the thing that surprised me was their pressing game - it wasn't as intense as normal and united certainly didn't get the on-the-ball pressure that we got when we played them, yet you STILL couldn't keep the thing... although hardly surprising when you play a 4-4-2 with a midfield containing one guy who hardly moves, and another who's 37... ManU only looked half-decent while rooney was dropping back and effectively playing as a midfielder. As soon as he moved higher and lost a bit of energy it was one-way traffic.
epic fergie game-plan failure which really isn't like him... i expected and hoped for more. I really didn't want either side to win but I did hope for a closer game...
