i feel we played terribly yesterday
whole team passing is horrible, always giving away possession.
again, the attackers didnt know what to do with the ball.
Lille was a much much much much MUCH better team.
Lucky Giggs and Rooney was alert. Lille resort to very rough tactics. Ronaldo got elbowed. Man Utd had to defend away in Euro and when Utd defend, its not a good thing. Man Utd's strength is attack.
Lille was a bit kuku as they did not know there is such a thing as a quick FK. They expect a wall but they did not realise that the ref did not make an effort to organise a wall. They should seen it coming but were caught out. I think their manager saw Thailand's antics. :bsmilie:
Probably true. He's having a great year. It's the same with other teams too though. For example, if Chelsea didn't have John Terry, they'd have trouble breaking the top four this year, even with all the other stars.Without Ronaldo I think ManUtd wouldn't be in their no.1 position...
Agree?

Lille postpone appeal decision
Lille will wait until Monday before deciding whether to appeal against UEFA's decision to throw out their protest about the validity of Manchester United's winning goal in the Champions League.
Lille complained the referee should have blown his whistle before Ryan Giggs took the 83rd-minute free-kick that ultimately won the match for United at Lens' Felix-Bollaert on Tuesday.
Lille players were so incensed the goal was allowed to stand that they threatened to walk off the pitch at the next stoppage of play.
However, UEFA not only rejected the complaint, but charged the French club's players with improper conduct.
Lille are upset with the ruling, and are weighing up whether to make another appeal.
A statement released on their the club's website, www.losc.fr, read: 'We regret that UEFA do not wish to analyse the matter.
'The feeling of injustice is shared by all of those who love football.
'This decision can be appealed within three days. We will review our options and our chances with our legal advisers and we will make a decision on Monday.'
