If you count "ball possesion" as controlling the game then I'm not sure I want to discuss this subject further with you, United were the better team tonight no doubt.
But on the other hand Barca didn't perform at their very best so...could've been a more interesing fight.
yes. i know that controlling the game ISNT THE SAME as ball possession. Nevertheless I wouldn't call ManU controlling the game tonight..Barca has loads of chances to score but they never shoot when they had a proper chance, except messi. also they didnt give the ball to henry = no win.
lol savage Man u didn't control the game they had few shots on the goal but on the other hand Barcelona had many shots on target.. and ye Liverpool vs Man U in the finals and Liverpool will win ;d
I think manu got it well under control if they make more goals than the opponent. And Barca didn't really have dangerous situations even, so imo manu had the control over the game. It's like in ET, who cares which team makes more dmg if they still lose..
i dont agree only on the dangerous situations part.
only deco had 3 close shots, henry had nice chance with head, every corner and other ball coming into the penalty area is dangerous.
also the fact that if the team looses a single goal in the end of the match, it will fall out of the cup (too small time to shoot back one goal) and yet it is still defending - it is not very safe and cosy situation :-)
Deco had nice shots but none actually towards the goal. Henry had the best place I think, but manu defended well and Henry could only push it straight to Van der Sar's lap.
Also, manu had the lead almost all the time (manu had more ball possession before the goal imo), so they could play more defensively
and how many chances did man u create ? :] tbh can't see a team like this do anything once they get behind, if they make a goal and can start their shitty defensive playing they stand a chance.. Individually barca >>>> then man u, where was your Ronaldo again today like last week, can't remember him touching a ball
if you wanna say he wasn't the best man on the field today then your just naive, i understand you wanna be patriotic but saying such things just doesn't make any sense. one thing i can admit, i don't know what eto'o was doing today but it certainly wasn't anything that is called football
imo deco and messi should play like together passing to each other, then the game could work. Now it looked like both were kinda alone and the rest of the team couldn't support them at all. Barca had much more ball possession, but they couldn't really make dangerous situations, let alone shots to the goal...
At the Nou Camp, every counter attack we had resulted in a chance, we should have scored on more than one occassion. Tonight we just completely dominated defensively, Evra and Brown had unbelievable games. Park and Hargreaves didn't stop working all night.
Messi, Eto and Ronaldo were complete flops, both sides failed to do anything 'beautiful'. Henry was perhaps your best player on both occasions (Deco played well to be fair).
I'd say that's a little harsh on Messi, he made a lot of good runs and passes. He's not even matchfit and I'd say he was still one of their better players, he looked pretty dangerous every time he was on the ball. Barcelona just had no edge at all.
tbh Messi played a great game and i would say Tevez was playing very good, i would like to see Gudjohnsen more i bet he would have scored a goal if he had been playin more, i mean his first touch in the game was a shot on the goal!! but well live is shit hope Liverpool will take Chelsea and then win against Man u in finals..
When he had the ball and didnt get fouled by zambrotta he did ok. Played more for the team tonight than he usually does in the premiership - proffering to create a chance for someone else rather than holding the ball, probably under the orders of Sir Alex.
So why did u reply ? :) And dont say "why did u post a comment then" I posted a stupid opinion on a journal,so that was general :) But you reply personaly ? :< Are you getting ur days or smth :< Or why i deserve that..
Very tense game v Barca earlier, for me anyway, I just had it in the back of my mind that Barca would pinch one near the end meaning a Barca 1-1 win on agg.
I voted for Man U v Liverpool final in this poll but after thinking again, I would like a Man U v Chelsea final, just so Man U can beat them in the CL final + the Prem League for beating us 2-1 @ the bridge :D
P.S Awsome goal by Scholes, the little ginger nut case who was born n bread near to where Im living now :D
no its okay. now at least the Dutch guy is out, so Barca got better future.
and messi is 19yo, nobody should put so much pressure on him in such age tbh.
ofc
:D
But on the other hand Barca didn't perform at their very best so...could've been a more interesing fight.
Anyways, GLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORY GLOOOOOOOOOOOOORY MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN UUNIIIIIIIIIITED :D<3

Oh thanks, barca - messi = some d2 french div team :<

But then again, thats just, my opinion.
