My take on last night would be that Fletcher was hugely missed in the United midfield. Giggs was a passenger and Fergusons decision to take Anderson off for Tevez was unbelievable. The ineffectual Carrick was then asked to do 2 mens work and with him struggling to do his own, United were beaten as soon as that substitution was made.
Xavi and Iniesta were magnificent and Barcelona's passing was so much better than United's it was embarrassing. Far too many of United's players had an off night and Fergusons tactics were abysmal. United's best player toiled on the right hand side and was never allowed in to the game and althhough Ronaldo tried he was outshone by Messi.
The icing on the cake is the absolute hearbreak Chelsea fans will be feeling now. 5 bad decisions and a 93rd minute goal away from winning it this year...maybe next year will finally be their year..........
