i think we got a decent result, but i was bit disappointed by fergies tactics and our attitude, especially in the second half! we didn't look good going forward, to many long balls and no real chances. tevez's goal was a big relief, cause it makes things much easier at OT, however lyon could still be very dangerous, especially Benzema who looks a threat every time he gets the ball near the box, think he's gona be great in future(mybe at OT

when is someone going to tell rio he sucks at long balls, and hargreaves needs to do more for our 18 million. Lay way to deep and made no angles off the ball therfore the centre halfs were hitting harder passes. I worry about our midfield if we progress and play a milan or barca there midfields are stronger than ours

Considering that you're away in Europe in the first leg of the last 16, against a top european side, a 1-1 draw is a good result. It's just sometimes we ( the fans and the team ) seem to overexpect and underestimate teams. We should just take things one step at a time, and things will shape up nicely if we don't get ahead of ourselves. Carlos tevez to rescue again ( spurs, lyon.. he does like saving us ) !

Thought Anderson was great as usual, his passing really takes my breath away, class. He's only 19 but he plays like 29. Fantastic young player and he is only going to get better.
I'm pleased with 1-1. All through the game, I was very nervous. To go back to Old Trafford with the away goal is great.
Well done lads, congrats to Giggsy on reaching his 100th UCL game. #clap#

Played fairly well. Good result. Impressed with Hargreaves today (largely). We'll do em at home. Oh and let's get Benzema in the summer he were alright weren't he? You could see how his game could improve even further with a bit of experience too.

He said he wont leave until he's won the CL with Lyon. So let's just let them win so we can get him? If we win the CL this season, I'm sure he'll change his mind quickly enough. Looked quality. Really chuffed with the result. Lyon are going to have to go for it at OT now, meaning we can get them on the counter. Let's go 442 and batter them.

If we go gung ho in europe, no one will withstand us. fergie is just so stubborn: that's why he's been here for 20+ yrs.

Over the moon we got an away goal and avoided a defeat. We didn't play brilliantly today, giving the ball away quite a bit, our formation was doing us no favours. That said Lyon was never going to be an easy match, so I'm pleased we got what we did out of it, hopefully we'll be playing at our best again next match as we were lucky today the amount of times we gave the ball away.

Tactics nearly cost us dearly. Play to the team's strengths and we might win this competition. Fergie is not a tactical genius and this performance will hopefully end that self-delusion once and for all. Giggs and Scholes should not start games from now on. There should be little place for sentiment if we seriously want to win this. Agreed. We were miles better after Tevez and Nani came on. Scholes is clearly not back to full fitness yet. And why the hell was Rooney playing as a lone striker?! How many times do we need for Fergie to see Tevez and Wazza is much better than just Wazza? Anyways, not a great performance, but I would've taken a 1-1 away draw against Lyon in a second. Everyone seemed to be underestimating them. Now to thrash the frogs at OT!

Benzemas goal was brilliant but Ben Arfa was also amazing. We get em both and there is no stopping us. A 1-1 draw just what I predicted.

talent like benzema is very rare. That goal shows alot about his quality he had very little time and space, 2 touches and its in the net, the sign of a great forward. We need another striker but I am worried slightly about our midfield. Anderson is the only one in form and we don't have a dynamic and tough box to box midfielder in there of a essien or gattuso quality.
