been in work with no radio or tele and didn`t hear anything what was the game and our performance like?

game = ****, performance = somewhere between poor and average.

First half was abysmal, not much going on either side. Bordeaux stepped it up a bit at the start of the second half, we got the goal from Crouch probably against the run of play at the time, but didn't get to follow on as they started pressing and we sat back, with our rather weak midfield.

Sissoko and kuyt came on and helped stabilize the team, we switched to 4-5-1, they had a couple of none chances, and that was about it. we looked dodgy defending set pieces again, but not as bad as recent matches.

Good win but the fact we look like conceding on every set-piece we have to defend is very worrying.

Yeah, it's a real concern.

We won which is great and exactly what we wanted but I'm not fooled by the performance. We were crap and I still feel we have a long way to go before we play to the level we're capable of. If we play like that against United we're going to take a real shoeing.

I agree. The performance was depressing.

I'd also like to add that Bordeaux are the sh!ttest side I've seen in this year's Champion's League. How did they qualify?! No wonder Lyon win the league every year.

And people question Cisse's french goals record - pah

We were ****. Zenden and Gonzalez inparticular being the ****test. Still we won and I had a crackin 3 days there. I was happy with it. Although Rafa said this afternoon that he wanted us to take our European form into the League. I ****in hope not Rafa lad.
