Don’t get me wrong, I’m not writing off Squllaci, he’s good and I’ve seen him play very well. But as I’ve said before, these are the moments that define seasons and you just cannot let it happen. Soft goal that didn’t need to be conceded.

the man u fans who think a manchester victory at old trafford is foregone conclusion could have another thing coming. with cris back in the lineup that will give Lyon to push forward confidently the way they did before he got injury. he’s been the missing link that will bring OL to its full potential. and i think ben arfa learned a lesson in this game too. OL would have probably had a second goal had he not been selfish and had passed to benzema after his amazing solo run into the box.

I gotta agree with Jo. Squillaci has played EVERY game since he came on as a sub during Toulouse vs. Lyon. And even then, he had just returned from injury (remember he got hurt during the Peace Cup) and wasn’t even fully fit, but Cris got taken off, and Perrin had no choice but to throw Squillaci on.

I think for Metz, Squillaci should be given a rest. Surely Cris and Boumsong can handle Metz. If they can’t, Lyon have no business being in the French top flight.

Squillaci is maybe a little bit TIRED, don’t you think so ?
He is the only one who had no injury this season, so he keep playing again, and again, every game. He had no possibility to be substitute, just for even one game.

I can understand if he is now a little bit less efficient.
Please do not already hush him up.

Im telling you Ush, Squillaci has played good all season, but he reverted back to ” The player that was on the defense that gave up 3 goals in the champions league final to Porto ”

I seriously hope we never see that Squillaci again, and maybe Cris could be fit and partner up with Boumsong for the next leg. Or maybe Perrin makes another ” Coaching Move ” and has all three of them playing, Boumsong being on of the SB. Who Knows ? lol

Goal was Squillaci’s fault, ducking out of the way of a cross. Even if he thinks nothing is behind him, at 87 minutes, be a decisive centre back and clear your lines no matter what! I feel optimistic though bout the return leg. Both sides played defensively, but United won’t at home, meaning more space for Karim, and look at what he did with no space! haha Their defence is their weakness. We need more goals from the wings though, Govou and Ben Arfa. Dangerous to just depend on Benzema.

thanks ronald for the info..i keep getting the feeling that ben arfa might leave soon but not benzema. I really believe that he will stay and in my opinion no club in the world could offer enough money for my favorite player in the world

i doubt benzema would go to manchester. he’s already planned out his future and the kind of person he is, he will stick with it. if he were to move, it will most likely be to spain. and didn’t he say he wasn’t interested in the premiere league anyway?

Man killer late goal, i honestly was more worried about this game then the one at OT. AWAY goals are killer, but now lyon have a chance 2 get the away goals. We need to get atleast 1 even if we concede 1 were still fine.Lyon went too ibrox and stuttgart and won by more then 1 in each game and also kept a clean sheat. We are not a weak away team like lisbon and the others. If this was chelsea i would be worried, but manu is beatable at OT as city showed us and the world was watching that game. We have lots of chances 2-2 were through 1-1 we can win on penalties. Also if we just win were through and lyon is a team that wins alot.
