Yellow to Chalme in an increasingly chippy and rough match

bababui · 03-07-2007, 04:28 PM

Ronaldo gets a dubious yellow for diving

bababui · 03-07-2007, 04:33 PM

An entertaining if ugly scorless tie at the half.

zoraster · 03-07-2007, 04:45 PM

Ugly sounds right. Lille don't do anything else unless they are getting mullered and United rarely turn up at all these days.

Just out of interest have United actually managed to test the keeper from open play? It is becoming an increasingly uncommon event these days... it is almost like Sexton has returned.

Not to any extent. Only Ronaldo has been active in attack.

Yellow to Tafferiou for a needless trip of Gary Neville

Yellow to Pleastan for a tackle from behind on Rooney..would have been a fast red in the World Cup

"Lille have certainly been the better team here today"

Larsson!

bababui · 03-07-2007, 05:15 PM

Amazing run and cross from Ronaldo and a finish from Larsson. Great goal.

1-0 Man United

bababui · 03-07-2007, 05:17 PM

Double substitution for Lille bringing in two gresh strikers

Larsson out for Alan Smith

bababui · 03-07-2007, 05:25 PM

Park and Richardson in for Rooney and Ronaldo in the 82nd minute

Well said Zoraster. Your analysis was spot on.

DOLA

I thought these teams would have given more considering the stage they are playing on.

Yellow for Richardson on a late tackle

bababui · 03-07-2007, 05:35 PM

Silvestre takes a vicious elbow to the back of the head from Tavaredes..looked like a dirty play.

bababui · 03-07-2007, 05:39 PM

DOLA

Silvestre taken off on a stretcher...the careful way they are handling him makes me think he has a head/neck injury

bababui · 03-07-2007, 05:41 PM

Man U win 1-0 in an underwhelming match.
