CL: Lille vs Manchester United

Oh, and Tommy Smyth on ESPN is a cnut. He's babbling about retiring and racehorses and Yip Jaap.

feck, Villareal just busted the group open with that goal.
 
getting thumped by Boro was bad enough but on the back of that tis result is awful, Lille are an average team at best and, though we are missing vital players we should have the quality to beat them

Who have we played recently that hasn't had a better midfield than us? As Gray said, seeing a midfield of Fletcher, Smith and Richardson is hardly going to scare anyone, is it?
 
Time to bring Teddy on I'd say.
 
We're United supporters,
Loyal through and through,
Over and over,
We will follow you.

Come on United!!!
 
I wish we'd just put Rossi on now and play 3 at the back. What do we have to lose at this point?

our goal difference
 
We are still on the second place. :devil:

Come on United !!!!! :devil:
 
usually with 5 mins to go you'd still expect us to get a goal, maybe two. I'm just not that confident any more
 
SO as it stands now it would be
VILLAREAL 6 GD 1
UTD 5 GD 0
LILLE 5 GD 0
BENFICA 4 GD -1

We have a greater 'goals for' (at 2, Lille will have 1) - is that the tiebreaker after GD? If not we're 3rd because we've allowed 2.

Nothing really.

Bring O'Shea off for Rossi.

Lille should be ahead of us on account of them beating us...

hey, i realised midfield is the finger to point to now eh.

True, both teams aren't really much good but Lille got the better game because they can pass and string passes together, they RUN forward/cross into positions that clearly confused our CBs and they defended well as a unit. More organised than united which is why imo they got the better game.

Result between the two sides are counted before GD. Lille will be ahead of us because of this result

They go top of the group. And thast puts us tied with Lille for 2nd.

If they drew, then Villareal (the best team in the group) would actually be stuck on 4 points, with a three way tie for 1st.

Better be in a three way tie for 1st than be second on "Goals Scored" with Villareal next!
