"Very good team lyon are, won their league something like 7years in a row"
It's not quite the same Lyon team though, that achieved that.
You should beat them over two legs, I'd say.
Spurs seem to have a hard tie, whilst CL rejects like Chelsea have been given a virtual bye.
Spurs should have won their group then
Or champions league failures shouldn't really be rewarded with another cup comp
Ajax will knock chaaavs out in the last 16 anyway. So no worries there

oh well, you cant choose who you draw, and to be honest you have to meet the top teams at some point - so bring 'em on I say.
Lennon seems to be over thinking it, he can knock and run past almost any full back in the PL, he only has to do it once or twice a game to scare his man into not coming forward, or forcing the left centre back into doubling up, either way it will cause defensive positional problems for the opposing team.

We would of won the group if the ref didn't rule out perfectly good goals
Malbranque might make an appearance against us
Lennon has been great this season, just not in the last 2 games, I've seen him run past 3 players and cross to Defoe, what more do you want?!

So truuuuuuuuuuue
I think Lennon is a much more complete player now, not just running into blind alleys, and he takes on players on the inside now as well.
Did Lyon draw Napoli? If so, I'd rather have finished 2nd tbh.

He just doesnt try enough skills anymore and chooses to cut inside which makes him a bit more predictable.
------------------------------
Actually cutting inside should make him less predictable if anything...
I do agree with your other points on Lennon, though you have to consider that teams are now more aware of the danger and double up on him much more... The surprise element of 5 years ago is dead and gone!!
Re Lennon, i think it's cos bale is now the main man. Whereas before everything was on Lennon.
Lazio got Monchengladbach who would of been much better then Lyon
