Manchester United v Internazionale

Brwned, tell me about Balotelli.

He's in good form.

That's about the extent of any sort of recent information I have of him.

He's raw, with his pace and power, but he runs into dead ends all the time, and he makes stupid passes. And it's not even just misplaced passes when he's trying to get it forward, just simple passes in holding the ball up, he gives it away too much.

I like the way he dribbles though, is a bit like Benzema - just bursts right through the defence at times.

Has a rocket shot too.

If Rio's on form then there shouldn't be a problem, but I think Rio's just not even close to being on form yet, and he could cause us more problems than Ibrahimovic. Should definitely cause more problems than Adriano did.
 
we play with the new badge
we play with a new ball (the 'Champions' ball)
Berba off warm-up and Tevez warms up
 
They said on a Dutch channel Berba is injured during warm-up. Is that right?
 
I disagree, he doesnt have the acceleration to trouble full backs like he used to. Hes a different player nowadays. Im sure i heard Fergie say he's more suited to a central role these days.

I think we might line up with him in a 4-3-3 formation.

I think we will too, and he's obviously much better in the centre, but I think he's still a hard player to play against for any team.

Not necessarily for the full backs, because he attacks the middle a lot more now, even when he played on the wing last season.

With his vision and interplay he's always going to be a threat from an attacking position.
 
Berbatov in pre-match bust up with Fergie and now off to Madrid?
 
No Berbs, slight concern.

But lets see how they cope with our dynamo Tevez. Dont stop moving Carlitos!
 
They said on a Dutch channel Berba is injured during warm-up. Is that right?

Yes. Not yet confirmed if he's definitely out. He wen't over on his ankle. It might be one he can run off, or perhaps get a pain killing injection to see to it.
 
Does anyone know where the Itie.. err sorry Inter fans are sitting? If it's E2 those in lower E1 should've brought helments.
 
Whats wrong with Berba? I was looking forward to him playig....i felt like he has a goal in him. Then the Double Berba Point and shout celebration.
 
Berba just announced by the announcer @ OT

Doesn't mean an awful lot. Berbatov's injury didn't look that bad though so wouldn't be suprised if he's alright. It looked like one of those ones where you plant your foot down completely wrong and it hurts for a couple of minutes to me.
