So why did we perform so poorly in the 2nd half? Was it because they decided that 1-2 was enough?

Of course Montpellier improved but we lost our shape and were giving away too often for my liking.

If we do this at City we could get a pasting

Bouldy suggested that the players were tired following the internationals but I am not so sure that was the case

They are champions, don't forget. That means they have alot of talent and bags of bottle.

I was surprised at their finishing until I remembered that their best forward now played for us http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/homer.gif

But we did enough.

Fancy the French Champions putting us under pressure, who'd have thought it?

And for anyone that says they started their season badly, rewind 12 months and look at us in the League against us in Europe.

also Utaka was injured.

They can count themselves very unlucky to have not nicked a draw.

thought Arteta was superb throught but Abou was hampered by that early booking and Santi disappeared - could have made the changes earlier. Tough calls for Bouldie though

[Free SL]

We played against a decent side, who in the second half pressed us when we had the ball. Any team, when playing with the other team pressing high up the pitch consistently, finds it hard to play a free flowing passing game (yes, even your beloved Barca/Madrid/Greek side/any other c**t you have decided to follow).

[Nicosia Gooner]

but of course you have no hesitation to become personal

I repeat, my only concern was that we did not use the ball well when we had it, if you think that is because the other team was better (which they were) then we'll have to agree to dsagree
