We would also have beaten them, they are good but have weaknesses, especially in defence but Manure completely lost this match tactically by not gaining control of the midfield and letting Barcelona dictate the tempo. It was the worst big game from Manure since we kicked their. Weird how Barca got praise and not us though wasn't it.
Well who cares Fergie will be even more p1ssed off when we sign Tevez from under his nose in a few weeks time.

Man Utd seemed to alter their normal style to somehow accomodate Barca's threat. Despite spending the first exchanges 'right in their face' - that didn't last long after Eto'os strike. They definately crumbled, went into their collective shell.
Now, in the past Rafa has been doing the very same thing himself....cautiously anticipating the oppo. But now, i think he has adopted a more flexible and dynamic approach. One were the lads are capable of dictating from the off - a games 'tempo'
We certainly wouldn't have let them a minutes peace like the Mancs did. And they DID. I don't believe for one second that Manchester are as poor as last nights affair highlighted them. Barcelona did a stellar job on them......only because it seemed they were allowed to. At least, Liverpool (you would rightly expect) would have worked overtime to close the spaces down. Its a puzzle as to why Utd were'nt playing their aces well enough like we know they can.
Yes, Barca leathered em. But i don't believe there is THAT much difference on another day to pick between the pair.
Well maybe with the exceptions of Iniesta/Xavi and Messi
