dude dont even compare us with milan... italian teams are tactically driven... they can play any formation and execute it pretty well.

We on the other hand look good only with 4-4-2. i have yet to see us play 4-5-1 without struggling and scraping.

I think the only time we played well with the 4-5-1 formation was the away match against Benfica in the first round this season, and I thought we became champs in 2003 with that formation, Ruud was mostly our lone striker.

anyone got any stream for da match v lille?

This is mental, Lille players were going to walk off the pitch after Giggs scored a quick freekick. The Lille fans were going mental, throwing stuff onto the pitch, Gary Neville got hit, poles and stuff were being thrown onto the pitch, its drama in France !

I said it when Henry scored and I have to say it now... that fast freekick thing is the lamest thing I've ever seen in football.

Do you really need that kind of crap to beat a team like Lille?

 

[matt.fever]

did lille refuse to take the kickoff after the goal, so the ref said just play on??

Apparently so, it was a hard game.

 

[Fernandez]

I could have seen a team walking off again for the second time in a month.

 

[Kulixs]

Quite a few people saying Lille shouldn't be in the competition now, the way their staff asked the players to come off the field, and how they encouraged intimidation of the referee, it created a hostile enviroment inside the stadium and put Man Utd players in danger. And its a disgrace on Lille's part, and even more disgraceful from the Lille staff.

Apparently we do.

What's with United always playing **** in away european games? Watching this game was like wasting 2 hours of my life. Ronaldo was the only one that wanted to win and have a go at Lille. Apart from that i was watching 90 mintes of long ball passes that came to their player 1 out of 10 times and some very very fortunate plays where the ball just wouldn't go into the United net. The one time it did, it was a foul on Vidic. Man, this is the worst performance i have seen. The players look sooooo lazy, everytime they got the ball they would stop look around for a minute, see that all the open players are closed down by now and then either give-away a half ass pass or punt a long ball to their keeper.

Nobody, except Roanldo wanted to run at Lille. They deserved to win this game and i am not exaggerating one bit when i say Lille dominated us completely. Thanks to some huge luck we are actually leaving france with a great 1-0 win.

nah, they took it

 

[Fernandez]

We could have lost today man, no kidding.

i completely agree with SAF, that was pathetic from the Lillle staff to get the players to start walking off.

Are you serious, the last 45 minutes was awesome. Plenty of chances, 1 dissalowed goal, 1 controversial goal. A team walking off the pitch, then being forced back on. The fans throwing stuff on the field, the last 45 minutes was the best bit of action I've watched in awhile.

 

[CarlosDanger]

I warned you guys about Lille.

Congrats on a tough away win.

 

[Fernandez]

At least the walkoff was about 1 min long. I had to watch one that was almost 15 minutes long. It was hilarious too.

I would have too, I felt like crap as a complete neutral because I actually wasted my time watching this game.

Completely disgraceful reffereeing, not only the FK thing but the disallowed goal was completely fair. Surely the ref was a bitter AEK Athens fan or something.
