Manchester Will Play The Final vs Barca

A Picture Says 1000 Words    
Our "B" Team

What a birthday present this squad gave me. What a spectacular preformance from what was quoted a "weak team" by a commentator. The game was great we out-played them all over the pitch and fully deserved all the goals and maybe even more. A massive confidence boost ahead of the Chelsea game. Anderson doubled the amount of goals he had for Manchester United scoring twice in the second half, before Gibson and Valencia both scored. In my opinion if you replace: Scholes, Berbatov, O'shea and Van Der Sar with: Rooney, Fabio, Cleverly and Amos. The teams average age would have been: 23 years. The future looks bright in Manchester.  


Anderson and Gibson dominate the midfield
The game started boring. It really looked like we were happy with a 0-0, but, someone told Ferguson that it was my birthday and they started playing much more offensively ( well at least I think that's what happened). The first goal came courtesy of a great pass from Gibson to Valencia who slotted past Neuer; who was rubbish. The next goal was an a blooper as Gibson's shot was fumbled by Neuer and ended up in the goal. The next two goals were tap-in from Anderson ( assists from Nani and Berbatov). Anderson's preformance may have been enough to win him a spot in the squad against Chelsea. Everything went according to plan, and in the 60th minute we subbed O'shea and Berbatov off so they will be available for the Chelsea game. The 4-5-1 tactic is really working in the Champions League. Maybe we could use it in the Premier League? Captain for day admitted the preformance was top-class.


I think I speak on behalf of all Manchester United fans when I say that Barcelona will not be as easy as Schalke. Just thinking of the game gives me goosebumps. Van Der Sar says we can beat Barca. I love the optimism from the United fans, but I will not bet anything on this game, It will go down to whoever wants it more and if we can keep Messi off the ball. But, that is not what we should be focusing on now because if we don't focus we could finish the season empty handed if we lose the Chelsea on Sunday.
