Champions League Final 2009: FC Barcelona vs ManUtd: Champions of Europe!

[beef-supreme]

I would be 100% satisfied with this line-up.

Whoa with Busquets as the sole DM, in between the attacking forces of and ?
I don't know why but I just seem to hear the word "suicide" in the back of my head. We would have no midfield, and two players playing completely out of position in the back line. Ughhhh too many selection headaches :sad:

Satisfied ? are you fucking kidding ? keita will be raped by CR.

 

[G.J]

And Sylvinho wont? Fact is he played over there with Seville and Pep seem to trust his physical ability. His chances are higher than anyone atm.

 

[Quash]

Sylvinho will undoubtedly be better, the guy is an actual defender. I didn't even like Keita at DM, imagine at LB.

 

[Metaphysical]

how fast is keita? if ronaldo plays wide (which I still doubt he will) his biggest trick is pace. if keita has any sort of speed he'll just run him down the line all game. of course if ronaldo cuts inside keita's fucked. sylvie would get burned alive for pace but offers more going forward. the thing is, if park starts on the right, sylvie is the better choice. but if ronaldo starts right, it should be someone faster.

dunno why you're all doubting busquets, he's shown he can be a very good DM and I'll ask you... what did frank lampard do against us at the bridge when busquets was marking him? sergi is a tidy player. plus he's very good at buying FK's and he loves a scrap. I have faith he'll deliver.

yaya at CB would be a mistake if ronaldo plays central. however if berbatov does then yaya is actually a very good selection.

this whole thing is a fucking game of chess between the old master and the young prodigy.

I love it.

 

[G.J]

Dont think Pep has much choice though. Hes practically lost all his rooks.

Lampard did fuck all, fair enough. He's nowhere near Yaya as a DM in my opinion though. Doesn't win as much ball & gives away more FKs. Would be a huge risk in a game of this importance.

 

[United]

Ronaldo will start in the middle as a central striker. Park is guaranteed a starter. But Park will play as a left winger to contain Messi. So your LB would pro'lly have to deal with Rooney, not Ronaldo.

 

[Gnegneri]

Well, our suspensions and unjuries my finally give our team some lack of predictability.


If united scores first, we're pretty much done i think.

 

[G.J]

Keep the faith Brotha...

 

[Gnegneri]

i do, didn't say we will concede!

just saying that if we do, it's pretty much over imo. they will already start with a 9-1 formation, scoring a goal would only enforce that formation

 

[United]

That Champions League encounter with Chelsea took a lot out of you.

Thing is, if we win against you, we'll never get proper credit as people would say we defeated a weakened Barcelona. And if we lose, we'll get even more stick for losing against a weakened Barca side.

 

[Gnegneri]

Yes, that's the truth

 

[A.Iniesta]

Yeah!

I disagree, how many times has this happen and yet we end up walking off the pitch as winners.?
the thing is Barcelona's football-play can be un-assuming at many times, players switch sides/positions without going to half-time, any opponent we play has "instant fear" of our ball-handling and never really know how to contain a match when we attack.its just hard to read and study Barcelona. in actual fact, we are probably better off as underdogs and coming into the game as Manure scores, and then win the 3rd at dying minutes................. or seconds.
