Really disappointed in Evra. Fabio is out performing him by miles. Come on man, you're making Vidic have to be superman.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Id swap Giggs for Fletcher or Anderson on 60 mins
Rooney's not doing much defensively. At times he's been at walking pace when their midfield has the ball. I expected him to close down.
Think Anderson will be on for Giggs shortly.
It's impossible to be honest, unless you hack the lad down.
We've been reliant on brilliant tackling from Rio and Vidic in the box and so far we've gotten it.

Barca have been Barca. But we have stayed in there.
fergie's HT talk will be interesting.

Same problem here in Singapore.
Our goal reminded me of our 4th from Sir Bobby in 68. I don't know if I can take another half, I should have bought an oxygen tank.
It's a shame we can't exploit the space behind Alves as Park is not really playing on the left.

How do we stop Messi running at us?
Seriously.
Giggs getting the finger out would be a start.
Yeah, hand up straight in the ref's face. Hardly shocking from a Barca player
Giggs set up the goal. But yes the game is passing him by
I think take off hernandez and giggs at 60 mins and put on Fletch and Anderson if we are stil level
Can't believe he left Berba out of the squad...is he even at the stadium? THink commentators said he was pretty distraught.
The way Barca can dictate their style of play on any team is incredible. Now it's our turn!!
i'll be shocked if fergie doesn't sub valencia off and stick nani on the right.
I have one word for this second half. Please. Please please fecking please.
Kick him into the stand.How do we stop Messi running at us?
Seriously.
Vidic has been a monster - that tackle of his was world class.
Am hopeful, we just have to stay in range with 20 mins to go.
No yellow cards so far which is also great which means if need be, some of our players can still make some sacrificial tackles if need be.

Giggs has had a great season but his age has shown tonight against that Barca side in a 2 man midfield.
Anderson and Nani need to come on.
That's what Fergie told him at end of half.
Maybe should have started O'Shea at left back. Atleast he can defend most of the time. Evra just scares me 
He started towards the end of the first half. I reckon that's why Fergie was raging at him.
He'll be pissed off no doubt at some of the space given to Barcelona. At times they've almost counter attacked us. You don't let them do that. You make them pass through you if they can.
Evra should really sort his positioning tbh, it's now getting on the nerves!
Fletcher isn't fit enough for me.
Ando would be better.
Ando would be better.
Everytime they attack, my eyes automatically start searching for Evra. Come on Evra, a little discipline please.
How do we stop Messi running at us?
Seriously.
Shout boo at him whne he comes close...
Jesus will win this game...
Maybe should have started O'Shea at left back. Atleast he can defend most of the time. Evra just scares me
Agree. Maybe all our debate should have been over LB and not right back. I thought he would raise himself for this game but he's been rubbish. They've had a few great chances down that left. Fabio has been superb.
we need to fluke out a win somehow to beat this barca side if they are wasteful in front of goal....
It's a bold move considering that Hernandez is still just a rookie. Berbatov has been involved in a final before with Leverkusen and United.
nani for valencia
anderson for giggs
that should sort us out
anderson for giggs
that should sort us out
We are going to win this.

Seriously.
by not retreating. by denying him the ball.
chicha is fine, valencia is fine. evra needs to fecking play left back!
I think we have to take giggs off for fletcher or maybe anderson. I think their passing is too good and he's not winning enough ball. I still think our midfield has big problems. It's not so much conceding possession, it's the fact they're pansies. We need the crowd to be the 12 man...and the ref to be 13th...and the linesman to be the 14th etc....Oh and I know that you have to stand off to a degree but when people are 20 yards out eventually you'll get fecked. We've sat off so deep, we have to be brave
why is Hernandez getting caught offside so many times, its very frustrating and our attack break down all the time....
Barca tend to be considerably poorer in the second half whereas we tend to improve.
Here's hoping that applies today!

Put Fabio at LB and Valencia at RB with Nani on the right flank if Evra continues in the same vein. Plus Anderson for Giggs around the 65 min mark.
He also played in 2009 as a sub and should have scored with that header near the end.
Fergie needs to make a half time change IMO, no waiting til the hour mark.
Nani, Fletcher on for Valencia. Or Ando or Fletch on for Carrick.
We can still win this but need to wake up.
Rooney, Park and Fabio are fecking United players.

I say hernandez off, Rooney upfront, Fletch on.
