Clumsy Carew
I watched Olympique Lyon defeat Paris Saint Germain 2-0 early on Staurday evening. Lyon were in control more or less from start to finish, Fred scoring after 5 minutes and Carew scoring just before the end. It wasn't a great match, and to be honest not many Lyon matches are, but I tell you what, they are a great side who have a good chance of going all the way in the Champions League this season. They work so hard for each other, their pressing game when they are not in possession of the ball is incredible, they are so solid, with possibly the best goalkeeper in Europe (Coupet) at the moment, and they have players capable of creating something out of nothing. Step forward Juninho, Tiago and... Carew. Carew is such a clumsy player at times, witness his almost falling over the ball on Staurday, but he has scored in almost every match, witness his recovery from the near-stumble and his unstoppable shot seconds later.
PSG were toothless, Tobias' favourite Rothen was ineffective, and one of my favourites (from Championship Manager!), Pauleta, didn't get a sniff.
Lyon are 11 points clear and as dominant here as Chelsea are in England. Boring!
