I, too, would like to see a first-team line-up with Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez, Nani, Anderson, and Carrick. When SAF got these guys together TheLads bossed the game. Neither Scholes nor Giggs provided much attacking intent and it is quite clear that Hargreaves is not expected to. In the rematch, getting a goal ahead will be crucial and this collection seems more likely to provide that attacking thrust than the more conservative group with which SAF started the match on Wednesday.

I was happy with a score draw, from kick-off my main priority was to get the away goal. We’ve been very solid at home this season and I hope we can continue that when Lyon make their trip over. We know they have to bring the game to us as right now we are going through, however it can still be dangerous if we try are too focussed on defending well and seeing the game out.

I feel having Ronny, Rooney and Tevez all on, playing in their free roaming attacking style we’ll stand a very good chance of out scoring them on the night. Carrick is starting to creep back to his decent form, last seen last season and Nani and Anderson to me have justified their price tags, also sticking 2 fingers up at the press and rival fans who not only questioned the transfer but doubted Sir Alex Ferguson.

Our club is very, very good right now and with these players we can be great for many years. Such an exciting time for us.

Smarties – we didn’t set the World alight, but for an away day in Europe, I thought we were pretty good. We were the dominant team and got a vital, well deserved away goal. Chelsea got a 0-0 away at a lesser side and Arsenal got held at home. It was a good result and a good enough performance, I think.

Am I the only one slightly disappointed with the performace? I thought that once again this formation left Rooney isolated upfront as they closed down well Ronaldo and at the back there was some unusual lack of confidence. Still, I will take the result and hopefully continue to improve.

We are playing the ‘thumbs’ count as a ‘finger’ game…

Tevez has been a really good deal for us, but the one i’m most impressed is Nani. How much better has he got from the start of the season to just a couple of games back, primarily the arse-anal game.

He has been stunning, no more silly skills, great passing and crossing vision and much better on the ball. plus he is not tryin to win a freekick easily nor cheaply. Even the Gallas challenged, he stayed up and looked eye-to-eye to that cheap bastard!

We should whack Lyon like we did against the Gunners. Europe will then take notice!
