[center]Tottenham 2-2 MANCHESTER UNITED[/center]
[center]Good match Ricky have to be happy with draw especially
as Ajax lost to Sevilla which brings them into title race.
We had better possession came back and scored twice, Bisseck on
27 mins and Chris Rigg on 60mins and happy enough with
performance.

Ajax 0 - 1 Sevilla
A tight match against the leaders, we controlled possession but
Ajax were a continual danger, Vargas scored just before half
time and we managed to hold on to take the points. Only four
points behind first and second but below us it's still very
tight and all to play for.

[center]AJAX 0-1 Sevilla[/center]
[center]Disappointing result and performance with 2nd defeat in
3 games and no wins in 3 games we may have to change things
round.
Only 34% possession our lowest in a game this season, players
did not show up and perform only Sten Steur deserves any credit.
5 games to play...

Inter Milan 0-0 BENFICA
We played for the draw and happy we got the point as were still
building a team that can be competitive. Very little action
Aursnes only player who I am happy with, were level on points
with Inter fighting for that last Continental Cup place.

Napoli 2 - 0 FC Porto
This was a frustrating night for us and a potentially damaging
result in our relegation battle.
For an hour, we were competitive. The first half ended 0-0 and
Napoli's best chances either missed the target or hit the
woodwork. We actually enjoyed more possession (56%) and looked
organised defensively.
The turning point came shortly after half-time when Andrey
Santos fired Napoli ahead in the 51st minute. I reacted with a
tactical switch and a triple substitution on 63 minutes, with
Samu, Bednarek and Manzambi adding some energy. We briefly
threatened an equaliser, particularly through Johan Manzambi and
Borja Sainz, but never created enough clear-cut opportunities.
The game was effectively settled in the 73rd minute when Andrey
Santos struck again from long range for his second goal of the
night.
We are now outsiders to survive. The gap to safety is still
recoverable, but this felt like a game we couldn't really afford
to lose. The next match against Borussia Dortmund is must-win
territory if we want to stay in the Premier Division.
