If we get them in the CL this season we would have to play very well to have an opportunity to go through, they are vulnerable at the back but they keep the ball so well it is hard to get at them.
we will £#%&! them. Inter away will be our hardest game in the european cup

Over the course of the tie it worked, but similar tactics against this seasons Barca could be suicidal.

I would have liked Utd to have more of a stable midfield in place ahead of the resumption of the CL. Who partners Carrick is a mystery. On form it would be Giggs but tactically that pairing could be a major problem against a good passing team. Scholes has looked a long way off his best, Anderson is not fit and has struggled for consistency while Fletcher is the safe but somewhat limited choice. Add this issue to the misfiring nature of the strikers and we may have to rely more o the defence that we would want.

Best In The world is subjective. They are one of the best right now, though. One defeat and +52 difference after 23 games, ffs.
