This is so much like Rome already.

Just hope we aren't already knackered from all the pressing.

Not surprised when the likes of Blackpool ran the midfield. Gonna have to hit them on the counter and or get a penalty/own goal. They've shown Barca look shambles when defending their goal.

That's the problem with Hernandez..he could look isolated in games where United don't have much possession. He had a similar game at the Emirates, where he looked lost each time the ball was booted up to him.

Now VDS puts the ball out. We've given the ball to them straight about 10 times in a row now. I think we're scared of them.

Valdes twenty yards out of position, he passes it out to Abidal near the corner flag less than ten yards from Valencia who makes no attempt to go to him.

You have to extol far more effort to pressure them across the pitch.

Sensational tackle from Vidic.

United are not getting raped at all. We are defending well. Just not doing enough with the ball when we get it after a very good first ten minutes. Need to stop hitting long balls forward so we have more than just relying on counter attacks

do we need to move Roo into midfield? we're just watching them pass, not even pressing ! we seem to be mesmerised, again !!
