the defence was a joke on the night too...... oshea, brown and heinze. vidic was also rushed to make the 2nd leg tie. that united team was unhinged by injuries. united have learnt from that experience and they have not looked back since then.

That Milan game in 2007 was incredibly fortunate for them. For about a 2-3 week period around the semis we had only 15 partially fit players (which included 3 goalies) SAF was drafting players from the academies to fill his match day roster. Our back 4 in the game at O.T had never played together and some had never played the positions they were asked to fill. Not to mention we were fielding half fit guys (Ronaldo and Scholes were carrying injuries).

All things said we lost 5-3 on aggregate, hardly embarrassment.

never, united don't leave themselves open away from home to concede 4-0 or 4-1. fergie keeps it tight away from home and even if we lose, it wouldn't have been more than by a goal margin.

I don't know why all the noise about Giggs. . .the fact that he still played this many games should be a slap on the face of the youngsters we have.
The endeavor, vigor, attitude and passion that 40yr old man shows when he is on the field is the total embodiment of what UTD signifies, demands of its stars; and which clearly is lacking in many of our young guns!

probably u aint an ardent observer of tactics on the pitch... Do u honestly believe Madrid deserve their place in the semis?? Barca has been on a downward spiral for some time too, the Barca I know will not fall 0-2 to this Milan side full of pricks no matter the venue. Bayern Munich eliminated United some years back because of the inexperience of a certain Rafael *who still managed to render Ribery useless by the way*. The first leg in Germany was lost 1-2 with Bayern dominating so badly, but it mattered not. In 35mins of the Old Trafford duel, United were 3 goals up. If you were thinking for a second this Bayern will beat United 4-0, even if the match is played in the moon, then I don't fancy the *good sh!it* you are filling your lungs with.
.
Plus talking about the final against Barca, remember I said home & away ties. Had we met that same Barca in the semis, they won't make it to the finals... & who's to say Barca of the said era won't disgrace any other team they face in the final

@ the bold, I always argue that part with my friends here, Barca cannot stand Man Utd in an home and away match. and also they can beat any team in the final match then
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 9:20am On Apr 27, 2013
For all our ill-luck/disappointment in Europe, United have become formidable opponents in the Champions League in knock-out ties.
More times than not, United have been undone by little incidents that shouldn't have happened.

Since 2007, United have not been ousted from a home and away tie by more than a goal.Only once, and that was this season vs Real, where a dodgy piece of officiating undid us.
That is impressive.

This is not about a team being better than the other, it is about tactics, this present barcelona is better than arsenal yet arsenal got a 2-0 victory at the same ground where barca got spanked 4 nil. IF you really think man u will go all out attack against a team like bayern in an away fixture them you know nothing about this present man utd.

united would beat barcelona in a home/away fixture debarring any ridiculous decision by a match official. united were coasting to victory until nani got sent off against madrid. they were coasting to victory in 2010 too until rafael got sent off. there's no team in europe that can beat united 4-0 or 4-1. we are a counterattacking team away from home. 7 players must always be behind the ball.

Sir Alex Ferguson admits he has been given the funds to strengthen his Premier League title-winning squad in the summer transfer period.

Ferguson now has the transfer kitty needed to further increase his options where he deems necessary, and the Scot has revealed he has two positions he is currently considering adding to in the transfer window.

"Having spoken with the Glazer family, there is every intention to kick on. We possibly need two players. It depends. If a player came along who met our criteria we would push the boat out and get him, irrespective of how many players we have.

"Chelsea will definitely be involved next season, they have some good players and it looks likely Mourinho will be going there.

"I said last week I don't mind winning the league in the last game of the season, but now we have won it with four games left, I look at it being one thing to win the league and another to do it by beating the record.

"Ninety-six points would be phenomenal. I don't know if that could ever be beaten." <Source: Football411.comĀ­>

Thank you. I was just about to point out the same thing...sometimes, it is not about who is better; it is about going out there and doing our own homework. We all saw how for long periods, over two-legs, we rendered a far superior Real Madrid impotent. Dortmund just only carried on from where that g.a.y, CR7-lusting Turkish ref stopped us!

EPL's UEFA Champions League
Qualification:

ARSENAL Current points: 63
If wins all remaining matches but
loses to united Final points: 72

CHELSEA Current points: 62
If wins all remaining matches but
draw with Spurs and lose to United
Final points: 72

TOTTENHAM Current points: 62
If wins all matches but only a draw
with Chelsea
Final points: 72
All teams tied at 72 points. Could be one of the best top 4 race. GD
comes into play. Teams may keep
this equation in mind and there
could be a goal fest in the coming
few weeks.

EPL getting more exciting even after its over.
Even United has a challenge
yet...United are playing right now
are for Chelsea's point record. A
draw in any remaining matches and
we can say bye bye to that record. EPL never lose its charm

The key words there is grave tactical error and it does not apply only to Unite, any team at all that make such error at this stage of CL will be punished.

I tend to agree with you on this but I think the error he made in tactic is usually compensated for by his conservative approach to away games in europe especially against top teams.
On another note, I think "tactical change" is overrated, for instance spurs changes against city worked out and people started hailing AVB as one tactical genious , the same changes he made has failed in some other matches.
