i know they're essentially the same,but they can easily (less pedantically ) be read how i meant them to be.

Iniesta probably lost for the final

Iniesta probably lost for the final

every time we play i get the feeling that we're going to lose a couple of players through injury.....first it was rafa, then Titi, now its andres......who's f**** next ?!!!!!!!!

[redout]

Not looking so good for the final if were being honest.

If Iniesta (our best player imo) misses the final along with Alves, Marquez, Abidal and possibly Henry I dont give us much hope at all.

Even if Iniesta and Henry make the final I really dont see how either are going to be fully fit after missing some weeks of training. Things have been going bad to worse ever since we played Chelsea first leg.

0-3
In my case never pessimistic, but now totally pessimistic

[United]

Hello all, first footballing post.



I reckon that will be our starting lineup for the final barring any injuries. I don't we'll go all out and attack Barca. We'd probably do what we did in the second leg of the semi's. I think we'll play a 5 man midfield closing down spaces for the likes of Xavi and Iniesta to work with. Rooney and Park will probably play on the flanks in a bid to help out our fullbacks against players like Messi and Henry (if he does make it). Ronaldo might play upfront as he's not particularly good at tracking back. I think our playing style will be to contain and counter attack.

Btw, I would like to congratulate you for the demolition job of Real scum at the Bernabeau.

Iniesta out.
This is not good news.
3 defenders out and now our best player over the past month also out.
Not good at all.

Is it confirmed? If so, that is a big loss for Barca. IMO he is one of the best midfielders in the world.

[alexjanosik]

Not yet confirmed.
He has torn a muscle and may miss the final.
Same as with Henry.
May play,may not play.

But if they do play, they won't be fully match fit right. I guess it's a good thing for us.

few things on my mind

Iniesta may miss the final. I honestly believe that he will play. Henry too

Arsenal's current form equals shit . Chelsea proved it yesterday - that's all about the m.u. semi final second leg.

During the last two Barcelona - United matches Rooney played some kind of right-back or right midfieder.. AND at that time Barca were pretty away from being considered as the best attack line in the world. Guess their team strategy at Rome

Like I said before, we won't be playing swashbuckling, gung ho all attack football. You guys can call it anti football or whatever, we'll play to win.
