That's the problem. He treated the match as though we were playing a normal team, a team we are about as good as, I don't know why he decided to do that, I don't know how you can defend it.
We had two shots in the entire game, only one of those was on target, and the other was when the game was already lost. If that was his idea of playing an attacking game then again, he did a very bad job, we didn't even get a corner. We were only in it at 1-1 because Rooney disobeyed Ferguson's instructions and got us back into the game. What did Ferguson do? He criticised him for it, berating him on the touchline and had the audacity to tell him 'I know what I'm doing'.
I really don't know how can defend it.
I've already told you by the way, I posted a gameplan on here that would have exposed Barcelona's weaknesses, a plan that wouldn't have relied on them being as poor as a bad Chelsea side, and I'm sure it would have been no worse than what Ferguson did that night.
@bold: this already makes you seem like a retarded typical plastic fan on a forum who thinks he knows more then he actually does. coach a team then come back
on the other stuff.... so now you are complaining cause fergie wanted it to be more defensive?(rooney not push forward) make up your mind
I have never said I 'wanted it to be more defensive', I simply wanted Ferguson not to use shit tactics that already failed.

Height. They had Javier Mascherano at centre half, 5 of the front 6 being pretty small men, did we exploit that? No, we used Chicharito and Valencia, who by the way, were absolutely fucking terrible. We also differed in another area, not so much a weakness, but an almighty strength that they have, that strength being central midfield. I would not have sought to counter that almighty strength with an axis of Carrick and Giggs. Now that's mainly because I wouldn't have ever let the midfield get into such a fucking state that Darren Fletcher is a big absence, but even so, I certainly wouldn't have tried to take on the strongest midfield in the history of the game with a good player and a 37 year old winger, but above all, I wouldn't have faced them with a 2 man midfield. Has anyone succeeded against Barca with a formation like that in the last 3 years?
What I would have would be to bring in Berbatov, to allow us to hold the ball up upfront, rather than Chicharito, who was completely isolated (just like he was a few weeks earlier against Arsenal, I saw that, Ferguson didn't) and doing nothing other than getting caught offside. Valencia should never have played, all he did was fucking foul people and give the ball away, he should have been dragged off at half time, if he was even on the pitch at all.
O'Shea and Anderson would have been brought into the midfield, replacing the pathetic Park and Giggs, offering us energy and more of that all important height, as well as defensive solidity. We would have shown Barcelona the respect they deserved as one of the greatest club sides ever, we would have changed our tactics accordingly. I don't know if you watched how Mourinho's Inter played against Barcelona in 2010 with 10 men, or how Queiroz's United set up in 2008 against Barca, but it would have been similar to that. Allow Barcelona to have possession, but prevent them from doing anything with it by having bodies in the box, take it to a penalty shootout if that's the best option.

Sack Fergie and sign up RR. He's be leading us to quintuples every season
Not necessarily, I'd have to undo some of the damage Ferguson has been doing over the last 2 or 3 years first.
, and the ones trying to disprove RR wrong i remember are the same ones who thought Giggs starting was the right move.
now. But yeah, i'm assuming you're asking about RAW, it's gonna be on at the same time over here which is 6 pm pacific time. It should be on at 2 am in England.
