You must have caught them on their bad days because Bordeaux are a team that plays some good football. Sure they are a little too dependent on Gourcuff. He makes them tick, but they have a decent team, with attacking fullbacks on both sides, a diamond formation in midfield, and two attackers upfront. I for one find them rather entertaining.
Though i still think they are way behind Italian, Spanish, English and even German teams. I don't believe they will cause too much problems for Juve.

I don't think we should be troubled by any of the teams in our group. I expect a minimum of 13 points, with a maximum of 16 if things go our way.
Bayern have a few decent individuals, but are dysfunctional as a team (not to mention their erratic form). Bordeaux are entertaining to watch, but they don't really have the weapons to hurt us (shut down Gourcuff and you shut down their play, limit their effectiveness as a team, and elminate any potential threat or danger); I actually think it was a mistake on their part to allow Obertan to leave for Man. Utd. As for Maccabi, well, they are just there to make up the numbers and should pose no threat whatsover (We have to take them seriously tho).
I expect 3 home wins, an away win and 2 draws. I predict we will finish top with 14 points.

Well they sold their best defender Souleymane Diawara to L'OM so theres a bit of uncertainty regarding their defense. The brought in Mickael Ciani as a replacement, i don't rate Ciani that highly, he is all power no technique kind of defender. Their fullbacks however are rather good, though their strengths actually lie in their offensive game not their defensive one.
As a a unit their defense is rather solid, but nothing special. I'd say they have an ok defense, but it certainly isn't one of their strong points.
