I see now all chances of success on the field have evaporated, again, Arsenal fans are moving their targets to articles about United. Makes sense really, at least it gives them something to do. Ask Roma if they think Carrick is "average", and ask Real Madrid if they've ever been turned inside out the way they were by Roma, home and away. And here's a little project for you while the rest of us are supporting teams with a chance of winning something, have a look on the internet and see how United have done against Roma in the last 12 months.

SS of London: Roma has been far better than Milan at home this season, and are currently about ten points ahead of Milan in the league.
As for the "played off the park"-statement: United had two legimate goals, Tevez went agonisingly close and Lehmann had three excellent saves (though one eventually ended in a goal for Hargreaves) from Rooney. Arsenal only "scored" from a handball. I can accept being "outclassed" as long as we score two more than the opposition.
Regarding Real Madrid: They have lost nine times in 2008, so to say they would have beaten United, well if you don't look at facts, it may sound like a reasonable statement.
I hope we don't play both Scholes and Giggs as they're off form. If fit, and given SAF prefers 4-5-1 in tough away matches, I'd go for Scholes and Carrick, and one from Anderson/Hargreaves in the middle, the other one on the flank. Anderson on the left, Hargreaves on the right, Ronaldo on the other flank and Rooney up front. Should give Barca a fight.....

I think that Anderson must start at the expense of (I hate to say it, but the writings on the all) Scholes tomorrow if fit. Having said that, I think that Scholes could be afforded enough space against Barca to be effective - its been in frenetic games such as Arsenal/Blackburn that his fading sharpness has been shown.

I also would like to see Tevez start but Ferguson has used him brilliantly this season as a second half sub in tight away games. His introduction swings the last quarter of a game completely in United's favour and it has worked on numerous occasions (most notably against Lyons away).

I think, however, that ferguson will play a 5 man midfield with Scholes, Carrick Hargreaves/Anderson, Giggs and Ronaldo to see through the tricky first half. Tevez , Nani and Anderson/Hargreaves as tide-turning subs.
