    They are beatable. What we saw at the beginning of the season was a rough draft of what Fergie is planning for the next 4 years- the side and playstyle that will be winning the CL.

    You need a mobile and quick bunch of players that are adept at interchanging positions, quick one-twos. Pressing will also improve when the older players are phased out.

    We're closer than a lot of people give us credit for. One or two players added and the maturation of 3-5 players will ensure this team is Fergies, last but greatest ever team.
    What is the point in life if you don't at least try to do something remarkable?

    buy more technical players who are more comfortable on the ball, we won't fall victim to barca's constant pressing. Look how comfortable the likes of martinez, munain, llorente, oscar were on the ball. As good as carrick, park, young, giggs are, they keep making unforced errors, lose possession and fail to create a single shot on target.

    To have Xavi, Iniesta and Scholes in our midfield

    pele 10:
    Play the full 90+ minutes the same way we played the first 15 minutes of our previous two finals against Barca.
    I agree with that as i always feel barca are slow starters to most games, if we could get a goal early on and really set up defencively then we could win it. I think us winning them is very much down to us psychologically, we have lost to them twice and they are named the best team in the world. I think our players dont no how to handle them and make stupid mistakes, when we get the ball it feels we want to get rid of it as soon as we have it which isnt our style of play. The next time we meet i hope we start paul scholes( if he hasnt retired) as when he came on last year he looked so composed on the ball and relaxed you could of mistaked him for having a kick about in the park. Scholes doesnt change his style of play for any team and this serves him well, he relies on his skill and this is what more of our team need to do in order to win against them.
    Paul Scholes our midfield maestro!

    at the moment defend well and take your chances....in the future hopefully be able to keep and pass the ball well enough so that there pressing game doesnt win them the ball back so often...also run your *** off after every single one of there players wen they are in posseion
    DONT WORRY I STILL LOVE YOU EVRA!

    How do we beat Barca?

    This isn't a whinge about our failed European campaign or a demand that we go out and spend a 100 mil on new signings, its an actual question, given that my background is Rugby League and Cricket I dont really have a depth of knowledge when it comes to Football tactics. So given the fact that the Spanish possession seems to trump our style of play (to say the least), how do we go about conquering this last hurdle?
