Most people punting on Manchester tonight . The heavy boat might just sink

The Catalan giants rested almost their entire first-choice team in their 2-0 loss at La Coruna on Saturday.
And Deco believes his refreshed team are in perfect shape for the clash, adding: "I'm confident. The team are in really good shape.
"We lacked a goal in the last game but we dominated and created many clear chances against a great rival.
"For sure in Manchester we will have more open spaces than we did at our stadium and sooner or later the goals will come."

Manchester United FC and FC Barcelona meet in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final with the tie delicately poised following last week’s goalless first leg at the Camp Nou. However if both sides were looking for a weekend confidence booster ahead of the tie, then neither received it – United were beaten 2-1 by title-rivals Chelsea FC, while Barça came unstuck 2-0 at RC Deportivo La Coruña. The fact that the Primera División outfit have won just six of 23 previous visits to England should give United hope, but the English champions will be all too aware that the three previous times they returned to Old Trafford after a 0-0 draw in the first leg of a UEFA club competition, they have not advanced.
Injured in Saturday’s defeat at Chelsea, Wayne Rooney and Nemanja Vidić are missing from the United lineup. Vidić’s absence means Sir Alex Ferguson fields the same back four as in the first leg, while Portuguese winger Nani replaces Rooney. Barcelona, meanwhile, have made just one change from the Camp Nou stalemate, with Carles Puyol preferred to Rafael Márquez in defence.

No Rooney and Vidic how to win...
On the bench don't even have a player that can come on and change the game type...

Nani is a selfish player and don't pass the ball to others in positions than him...

They have no choice, no other striker unless you want to use Welbeck...

prob is barca dont need a win to go to the next stage. they can draw 0-0. man u dont have the away goal. if barca score 1 at old trafford which is highly possible, man u need to score 2. and then the floodgates open. man u must attack first.

Yeah i understand... whatever if there is any goal tonight, then United just have to win the match outright or penalty after extra time... -
Ok time to logout and go watch the match now... good night everyone...

start liao start liao
let the battle begins~

its a pity that vidic and rooney misses this big game..
ronald upfront...without rooney,ronaldo will share a larger burden of the scoring role tonight..he's seen in that role for during some parts of earlier games..so so only.Anyway,gd to see JS Park playing instead of giggs...whose form of late is not impressive at all..and the most impt thing is our defence..the centre duo.Rio n brown..
come on united! a win!

i believe barca will want to end this game in 90min if possible. very tiring to play for extra time for both teams. so barca wont close shop at the back play for 0-0 to go thru, they sure attack like mad score the 1st goal of the match. and when that happens, man u must step up their attack to score 2 goals and prevent barca from scoring the 2nd goal. when man u step up their attack and leave hole, barca sure exploit. unless man u can score the 1st goal of the match.

phua chee bye. -
barca in a hurry to score that crucial away goal
