Yeah, like you, I was expecting Lille to beat Nantes. Unfortunately it did not happen. I guess when trying to overcome a team like Lyon, defeats and draws are not good considering Lyon rarely, if ever slips up.
So Lille drew with Anderlecht 1-1. A fair result. A point on the road is always a plus but sometimes you need a win if you are playing a supposed lesser team.
But Anderlecht should have won, they had more chances (and not those long range efforts shot that hit the bar). And I wouldn't say that Anderlecht is a supposed lesser team. For your concern: the match against Lille has started of a small crisis in the Anderlecht-household, not only was a win expected, but the cowardly substitute in the 65th minute, after just missing the biggest chance to 2-0, was too much for the supporters. Frank Vercauteren is now under great pressure. Supporters want him out and there are players who are tired of him too. Congratulations with the point and I hope you will proceed to the next round in the CL. Vive Kader Keita, almost as good as Aruna Dindane
Anderlecht get to play the Champions League almost every year and thus have much more experience than Lille do on this stage. Those being given, it is a very good draw and a valuable point taken away from home. Not to mention the fact that Lille actually managed to score this time.. Puel can give himself a pat on the back now.
The point was good. I was worried they were going to allow Anderlecht their first C1 win in like 73 years.... I'm joking, but you get the point. 4 points against Anderlecht, 2 point against Liverpool, 2 points against whoever the hell is the other team... and they should be fine.

Obviously, there's no depth in Lille's squad. You take Bodmer, Keita, and Odemwingie out of the starting eleven and who do you get? You get a um.. you get Fauvergue, Gygax and Youla.

Mathieu Bodmer and Jean Makoun To all Lille OSC fans - who do you believe is the better Defensive Midfielder, Bodmer or Makoun?
Re: Mathieu Bodmer and Jean Makoun You can't just go ahead and label Bodmer as a defensive midfielder. At Lille, he plays in a much more advanced position where he distributes and provides the ball through just behind the lone striker. Makoun is the one who frees him up by doing all the dirty works.
Re: Mathieu Bodmer and Jean Makoun successfully merged and i'm inordinately proud of myself, first time i've ever done it. c'est en forgeant qu'on devient forgeron...

MERDE! "6e BBBBUUTTTTTT!!!! 1-0 pour LYON! Malouda ouvre le score avec de la réussite! À l'entrée de la surface, le Tricolore contrôle de la poitrine et enchaine la volée: dévié par Plestan, le ballon prend Malicki à contre-pied, qui ne peut que l'envoyer sur son poteau...rentrant." -Eurosport.fr
Our starting line-up for today: G. Malicki M. Chalmé N. Plestan R. Schmitz M. Vitakic A. Keita S. Dumont M. Bodmer J. Makoun S. Lichtsteiner O. Odemwingie
According to Eurosport.fr, we are using the 4-2-3-1 formation, and Lyon is using the 5-2-2-1 formation.Also Govou received a yellow card in the 18th minute.
No f****** way.... .4-1 Lyon.Fred scored two quick goals in the 65th and 70th minutes.Lille's defense is playing terribly, and we aren't pushing to Lyon's goal.
