Poor Bodmer and Kallstrom though. I’m sure Kallstrom is going to leave this summer anyway, so hopefully Bodmer will stay.

his place in the “winning 11″ is clear now, but still with toulalan, and still in a 4-3-3, just in front of the back four, with juni on his left and toulalan on his right, a few metres farther up. that’s the best way to press high up the field, and FS can use that position a bit farther back to wind up his superaccelerated runs. the only thing better would be if juni could play on the R and jéremy on the L since govou and RVR can take care of themselves whereas grosso and HBA aren’t exactly “la sécurité sociale”… but juni’s right foot works much better coming in from the left side of the field, and toulalan is clearly at home on the right both in white and in blue.

Ara, Bad Gones refers to Lyon’s oldest supporters group. “Gones” is a nickname for the lyonnais.

About Fabio Santos, everybody speak about his defensive abilites. That’s right, but he impress me with his vision of the game too. He knows the right tempo, he does good passes, and know how to drive counter-attack quickly.
He can become essential in the midfield, if Perrin still let him play after Toulalan’s return.

And to me, if you want to have Toulalan AND Santos with starting spots, Toulalan has to play on the defensive side, and Santos on the offensive one.
