United played Lille on Tuesday in one of the dullest matches ever. The match ended 0-0. After 2 or 3 decent (ish) performances, we were poor again. Rooney was not playing because he was suspended after has sarcastic clapping in the game versus Villareal.
Pretty much everyone was rubbish apart from Van Der Sar who did OK and Park was really good (for the 10 minutes he was on). Park was actually captain while he was on after coming on for Giggs (properly a mis-communication and he should have passed it to someone else – not sure who it could ofgone to).
To make matters worst we had more injury problems. Adding to Keane, Heinze, Neville, Brown,… we now have Giggs out for several weeks with a fractured cheekbone. He was elbowed by Tavlaridis. Tavlaridis actually fouled loads and for some reason did not even get a yellow card. In fact most of there team were really dirty. To add to our problems, Scholes got sent off for 2 yellow cards. It was the usual bad timed tackles by Scholes but just stupid to go into the challenge with a yellow card already.
Thank goodness Rooney is back for the next match.
