If you missed this game, there is nothing you need to know. It was terrible. The last twenty minutes were almost embarrassing as the two teams just passed the ball around until the clock ran down. The whole thing was so entirely pointless.
Apart from one point. The point that meant we topped the group and secured qualification. Boring though it was, we can’t really complain: we did the job that was required of us.
The one downside (apart from having to sit through the thing) was a hamstring injury to Johan Djourou which could keep him out of Sunday’s clash with Chelsea. With William Gallas only having a 20% chance of playing, we could be looking at Gilberto, Justin Hoyte, or (dun dun dun) Alex Song at centre-back. Start panicking.
