Prem in La Liga Barcelona had 196 shots on target from 28 games while Man Utd had 193 shots on target from 31 games.

Next best in La Liga is Real Madrid with 162 shots on target and weirdly enough the rest of the sides have very few on target per game and nowhere near these 2 and Man Utd most likely already have enough shots on target this season to be ahead of 3rd best la liga side shots on target wise.

Stats only mean so much Hafi.

Today's game for example exposed our vulnerabilities, especially in the midfield area. The attack was largely starved of any useful service today.

Our defence (although better today - aside from the goal) has been suspsect all season. We will be playing Barca in 11 days...

We do not need stats to know that we will be slaughtered if we performed like today against Barcelona. The shots that rolled to DDG will be flying to the top corner because we are facing some of the finest on planet earth. We (those that watch football with our eyes) know this.

Anyone think Herrera’s form dip is because of his contract issue?

scholayScholes just like how PSG with all the possession slaughtered us.

They should've, they are serial chokers and thought they were home and dry. Wake up if you are dreaming it is going to be the same against Barcelona

We had higher expected goals away to PSG as well.

It’s clearly a ruse

I didn’t watch today

But judging Solskjaer’s comments about us playing the “best of the rest” in our next two games, he clearly thinks second gear is enough, once we trample the other best of the rest team we’ve got first gear to move into

Look out Barca
