Review: ManU vs Barca

This is quite a tense match as its like a final. You can see two big teams fighting like hell!!! That normal of course everyone wants to get a chance to get into the final. You wont be seeing this kinda match always, that's why i even chose to sacrifice for not sleeping even though i have to wake up 5 something on the morning!

Most Lame Player on field: (Van der Sar)
Lets get into the match. Van der Sar... is an old man... he does not have the pace anymore! Obviously he was chased by Eto' till he even did some stupid clearance!!! What the heck! It is like this, when MU def pass the ball back to the keeper, Eto' then is like a monkey hunting for food (the ball at the legs of Van der Sar) ! Then, VandeSar was damn scared hence he kicked the bloody ball far away, not in front, but to the outside of the field!! I had seen this many times, what is he doing ??? I could see that he was very very fearful of loosing the ball.

Hold the Most Possession on field: (Barcelona)
Needless to say, it's Barca who have the ball more on their player's feet. They like to dribble and tend to keep the ball. Everyone enjoys watching such football because it's damn exciting! But there are pros and cons on this method of possession kind of football. Once those players are not putting high concentration on that game (low form), the manager will be crying! Just look at Barca. Ya, I admit that they can control their ball nicely and they play tricks! Although they dribbles the ball up and down non-stop, they can't score any goals!!! That is the problem! Yeah you see exciting dribbles and crossing people 1 by 1, but they don't even have a chance to hit the goal into the net. Hey Messi! What the hell you dribble like a god man! If he thinks of wanna dribble pass a person, sure he can do it. His speed is enormous! He is like a rocket! So what? He can walk pass 2 or 4 persons, you think ManU's side will let him have that much space to move? If yes then you are wrong! ManU's deffence is like a metal wall! You can dribble as much as you like! But 1 thing, you can't walk pass the whole team! I can say that Barca's attack depends so much on Messi. Eto!! What the hell are you doing up front??? Where is your form??

Overall:
Barca's attack is not as sharp as the olden days(2 or 3 years back). The time taken for them to pass the ball from the defensive position to the upper part is too slow. Their midfielders(Xavi, Deco) do not have the quick pace like ManU's people(ParkJS, Nani is enough)!!! Last time Barca has Ronaldinho, Messi and Eto' all in top form, now you can't expect that much. They depended too much on Messi to break their defensive wall! No way! He won't succeed! Later on Henry had been substituted into the game. I don't see he posted too much a threat to ManU. Yea he did a header, straight on the keeper. As you can expect...the chance of Barca's midfield to pass the ball to Henry is to thin. Almost all ManU players came down to defend! Even though if Henry had the chance of getting the ball, I didn't see him crossing any players!
Because of Barca playint method, ManU too did not have too much an attack on Barca. Park JS had 1 shot. Ronaldo too had 1 if I am not wrong. Barca merely did a mistake on their back. Yeah, the 1 mistake they did is to pass the ball to Scholes! That mistake cause them to loose! How pathetic it is!!!
