This round-up is mainly going to focus on Manchester United performances (if you didn’t already gather, I support them). Many United fans are already concerned by our Champions League chances from this performance; however I am still extremely confident. To get a 1-1 draw away from home against Lyon who has won the French division 6 times in a row is a good result. Considering out of all the teams we could’ve got drawn against Lyon was the hardest this is a good result.
Although I am very sceptical about playing Rooney up front on his own, away from home, it hasn’t worked in years gone by and it won’t work this year. When we won the European Cup back in 99’ we played with two up front every game, and this is something we should do again. We are not great at defending leads or defending at all in Europe so (cliché alert) the best form of defence is attack. I do expect us to win at Old Trafford in a few weeks however this away result will hopefully provide Ferguson will a re-think of how to win at the likes of the Nou Camp, San Siro etc.
Elsewhere across Europe Schalke have a slender lead over Porto by beating them on their own soil 1-0. Liverpool gave themselves a massive chance of going through by beating Inter Milan 2-0 at Anfield. Chelsea only managed a 0-0 draw away from home and Real Madrid suffered a 2-1 defeat to Roma. Wednesday night saw European giants AC Milan battle it out with current Premier League leaders Arsenal in a 0-0 draw. The two games of the week involved two Spanish clubs as Barcelona got a 3-2 victory against Celtic away from home however Sevilla lost 3-2 in Turkey against Fenerbache.
