Vidic should of signed for Liverpool

£#%&! me, he does like a back pass doesn't he?

nft.

He was bossed by Benzema last night

One of only 2 times i've seen him panic when a striker gets the ball.

When someone is as strong as him and fast, he don't like it.

Mind you to be fair, Rio wasn't at the races (again) either

Rio and Vida were both not at the races last night, Evra and Brown did pretty well though.

Thought Brown had a pretty good game. Evra was top notch.

Their goal came because Hargreaves and Anderson both got sucked over to the right,leaving a massive gap in the midfield.

No real blame on the defenders for the goal, but Rio and Vidic could have made the game much more comfortable by keeping their heads a bit more

you're a @#%&!.

What amazed me was we played a 3 man midfield yet there was no protection to the back 4 and no support for the attackers. What was the point of the 3 man midfield? They was walking through our midfield or it was just emptying so quick.

They didn't really walk through our midfield a great deal though. In terms of actually threatening our goal it was a handful of times if that.

It's like we got battered last night.

I must have watched a completely different game. As were the commentators when they said time and time again how organised both sides were and difficult to break down. Which they - and we - were.

ffs lyon had about one chance and a couple of freekicks

But we didn't win 12-0!

Disaster!

And it was all Hargreves' fault, the @#%&!!

You chat some shit kid

I disagree. First 20 minutes we looked very shakey. And throughout the game they'd get through our midfield so easily, with a 3 man midfield that should not happen. I remember at one point they had 3 men on Evra.

Er...yeah. The fact that every time their defender headed it away there was no one picking it up from deep, even Rooney threw his arms up sometimes asking where they were, then in the next second they'd get men behind our midfield so easily The problem is you had Scholes deep than Hargreaves, Anderson hasn't added driving runs/goals to his game yet and Hargreaves doing the job Scholes was trying to do.

I'm sorry but Lyon are nothing special, when we went forward we looked like scoring every time, if we had shown more intent last night we could have score a few. If Fergie's like this with Lyon is it any wonder we get knocked out off the first big team we come up against.

1 win in our last 7 knock out away games, 6 of them defeats. That's not good enough.

Yes we had a lot of the ball and both teams matched each other in their set up, but why are we doing that against Lyon, we looked dangerous any time we went forward we could have beat them comfortably.

We were under a bit of pressure in the first 20mins, to be expected. But it was far from a nervous opening or a shakey performance. Like I said I'll hold my hands up, I must of watched a completely diffierent game to you and a few others becuase I don't recall them walking through our midfield so easily. Their goal came out of nowhere and other than that they were restricted to a few shots from distance.

I seen it briefly on SSN in the gym before the game.

Madrid 03 - Loss
Porto 04- Loss
Milan 05- Loss
Lille 07 - Won
Roma 07 - Loss
Milan 07 - Loss
Lyon 08 - Draw

Something like that off the top of my head.
