I do feel that Nani needs to start playing for the team instead of himself sometimes.

Although supporting this team should come with a health warning Laughing

Man Utd were poor first leg but did what needed to be done tonight.

Barca were a joke for both legs. All that possesion and not a single great attempt on goal nevermind an actualy goal.

Bar�a didn't play great games (isn't a surprise because if you had seen some Bar�a games this season played worse), but if Bar�a were a joke, what were United? The team that United fans say that play the best football in the world, were 75% of the time defending and won thanks to a Zambrotta's mistake....

Man United did the job and thats that. Should of had a penalty when Milto "spelling wrong" decided to pretty much elbow Ronaldo when was a corner. Barcelona like already said had plenty possesion but did nothing with it. Messi did well and Toure did well also. Nobody else for Barcelona never really stood out. Brown i thought was pretty solid for Man United. Not alot of people like Brown but put on a good performance tonite.
Tevez for me was man of the match. Ran his heart out just kept on running and chasing dead balls. Thought Park did well also.

The penalty that could be was the fault by Scholes to Messi in the minute 1 or 2 that could be in the line of the penalty area.

but it's not a pk.. just an obvious fk Smile

If the fault is in the line then is penalty, and seeing the images is in the line.

well.. there's quite a patch of grass tinted white as the line.. so if it doesn't really cross the whole patch yet.. then it can't be considered as a pk.. the linesman might notice that too.. Confused

All the patch of grass tinted white is the line.

Park's stock must be sky rocketing. Hopefully he gets more action cause he's looking like the player who was so good for PSV.

I think certain player thrive in CL football rather than the premiership ,mainly because the games are reffed the correct way.Show that sir Alex knows what he's doing,Babels another one that plays better in Europe.

Its not the reffing thats different, how would that affect Parks play?

Its the style of play, that especially for Man United is very different this season in Europe. As a winger in the prem Park would be expected to get forward, stretch the defence and put in crossed for the players in the middle, that would be his main role. In Europe and especially in this case against Varca this time his main job was working his ass off defensively, pressuring from the front and taking care of the fullbacks going forward so the more central midfielders could concentrate on their vital job of watchin the rusn from midfield.

Bro, did you see some of those calls the officials have been making?They would never call those in the prem and you know it.If they did Arsenal would be defending champions right now.I am totally not agreeing with him being mainly here to help the defense out,no way in hell am i going for that.The fact that he has that ability a bonus ,but he was very effective going forward in fact more effective than the current Premiership player of the year 10 -1.Wonder if there was any press over your side that give that a mention!
