Match Review (Man U vs Barcelona)

No Rooney, No Vidic, never mind. Ronaldo booked for a foul committed against him, 50-50 decisions went the way of Barcelona. Never mind. What we need is a strike by the 'too old, too slow' Scholes. Barcelona looked good, but is never, they passed the ball around and did nothing much with it.
A good win and one more in Moscow against Chelsea and the referee, as usual, and the Cup will be at Utd for a year.

Van der Sar (6): He never did well wearing green, his kicks and passes were poor. At least, he made some decent saves/stops.
Hargreaves (6.5): Good display since he is played out of position. Tend to hold the ball too long.
Brown (8.5): Was he Vidic in disguise? A performance that showed how good he is.
Ferdinand (8.5): Marvelous game, solid in defence.
Evra (7): Exposed at times defensively, but his attacking runs is a threat to opponent.
Park (8): Hard work, was almost everywhere and made good passes.
Carrick (7.5): Not his best game, but anchored the midfield well and made some good passes upfront.
Scholes (7): Magnificent goal, but was just above average throughout the game.
Nani (6.5): Should improve on his decision-makings. Take good corners.
Tevez (8): Park's twin brother, ran and harass the defenders.
Ronaldo (7.5): Good game, ran at defenders and open up space for team-mates.

Giggs (6) (Nani 77): Nothing much to show for.
Fletcher (6) (Scholes 77): Can in to close up the game.
Silvestre (5.5) (Evra 90): no time to perform.
