Thank God , you won't have to watch Milan annoying style of game ... the team who got a great passing game rarely won these matchups, I'm glad Arsenal did it .. it was about time my man Manu (who started with FC Metz , the town where I live) scored in the CL

Not a bad scoreline. If you don't concede early I fancy Porto to score a few and make the quarters.

I wouldn't say you shouldn't have a problem. They made it this far, they've gotta have at least a couple of match-winners in their team but I think if Porto's big players turn up then they should be fine.

When I say 'not have a problem' I mean more I'm confident will take the game..don't think its gonna be a blowout or anything lol..

progressed as expected, not the best performance though.

Yeah I had some bets on, more or less predicting Man Utd to win by at least a couple. The only surprise for me was that they only scored once.

You at the game mate? What was the story?

yeah i went.

It was a strange game, lyon had plenty of the ball but didnt create much other than hitting the post early in the second half. I was never worried that they would get two but there was always the chance they could get one.

Uniteds problem was that rooney basically played up front on his own where he was isolated. Playing anderson behind him with nani and ronaldo joining didnt work that well.

As the game went on we should have had a second, rooney missed a great chance (intercepted a back pass but hit a really weak shot from about 8 yards out at the keeper). Tevez and ronaldo were also wasteful , passing when they should have shot , trying to walk the ball in .

I think we tried to be too clever instead of just going out and playing are normal game we reverted to a formation that was basically set up to catch them on the break.

You think you play better with Tevez and Rooney up top?

Schalke got nothing you could beat them easily.
