    IF (big if) we get the 6 points against Steaua, we should be in a very good position to qualify, as Fiorentina and Bayern will lose points playing one another. So then it should just be the case of drawing one of our final two games to make it through...
    Mais avec des "si", on mettrait Paris premier de L1 ;)

  • John

    I'm thinking: if it weren't for the LB problem, we'd have two wins and possibly have given up (0)goals. Don't know that I'm terribly unhappy starting off slow. Hopefully we'll turn it on against Fiorentina and Bayern in the second leg once Grosso's back.

  • mikep

    Dear lyon managers NEVER NEVER NEVER PLAY BENZ ON THE LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • mikep

    lefutur Mounier was'nt bad. Honestly nobody was really bad, but it was the fact that nobody was really good including benz. Well ok playing our a huge burly paceless LCB mensah at LB was bad idea. It was bad last game and it was bad this game.

  • lefutur

    How did Mounier do when he came on? Maybe Kallstrom should have played instead?

  • mikep

    Dear grosso please get fit

  • Gog

    I am really disappointed whit our game! First of all i am angry about Puel cause he made big tactical mistakes.Pjanic MUST BE on the bench to replace Juninho when he gets tired.He's the perfect new playmaker to me.Ok,if he did't put Pjanic on the bench but Keita and Kallstrom,why didn't he put them in the game? We played terrible,had not one single 100% chance in the game.Totally disappointing..

  • lefutur

    thank god Lloris had a good game today.

  • Ray

    gotta be relieved to leave with a point...we really didn't challenge at all in the 2nd half

  • Pride of Lyon

    It wasn't a good game

  • Pride of Lyon

    yes 1-1... well done Inara, perfect prediction!

  • John

    What does the formation look like now that Boumsong is in?

  • John

    That left side continues to bleed. Oddo...grrrrrrrrr

  • mikep

    i agree with gog and Pride of Lyon. seems like hes after a draw, but i dunno if we will give a goal up.

  • Pride of Lyon

    we will conceed one playing defensively

  • Pride of Lyon

    I don't think playing the draw is the right idea

  • Gog

    Really stupid from Puel this change! He just wants to defend this 1 point.

  • Pride of Lyon

    defensive change... boumsong in for juni

  • Jao

    Case closed, Puel's playing for the draw. Ugh

  • mikep

    Meh he did'nt look that old and tierd there. nice tackle by the defender though

  • Jao

    Sweet touch by Juninho, but why dive?

  • Ray

    OH GOD WHY COULDN'T BENZEMA SCORED THERE!?

  • lefutur

    Lyon need to build their confidence in the CL... they have a bit of an inferiority complex.

  • lefutur

    Lyon can still get points out of this game. They are the second-half champions, right?

  • Jao

    We are struggling against a Bayern squad who got humiliated by Bremen than lost to Hannover just 3 days ago. C'mon Lyon

  • Ray

    another useless yellow

  • Pride of Lyon

    dangerous free kick for bayern

  • Pride of Lyon

    the german commentator is freaking out with Breno having to mark Benzema...

  • lefutur

    is ederson staying on the right side?

  • Ray

    Fred decent game, but now Benz can finally move to the spearhead

  • Gog

    mikep do you see now what i said about Juninho?

  • Jao

    And Puel's love affair with Mounier continues....hehe

  • Gog

    This was funny with Fred:)

  • Jao

    Lucio....

  • Ray

    we got pretty lucky there

  • Ray

    Mensah is having a pretty poor game.

  • mikep

    yea even i admit juni should come off soon, but benz on the left is just a stinkbomb job by claude.

  • Pride of Lyon

    yeah, juninho needs replacement. The only danger he brings now is the risk of a red card.

  • lefutur

    i've never liked this Benzema on the wing approach. We need a tactical change.

  • Gog

    We need to change something.This is a moment where i would like to see Pjanic replacing Juninho and Piquionne replacing Fred.Pjanic is not on the bench so maybe Keita is good(if he is fit),so we can change to a typicall 4-4-2 formation.

  • Pride of Lyon

    lol, crowd pressure gave makoun a yellow

  • Gog

    I doesn't look good to me.

  • Ray

    stupid yellow juninho, calm down and move on

  • Pride of Lyon

    just shut up juni

  • Ray

    HAHA Toni!!!

  • mikep

    yea just like us we will probably bring it now.... i hope atleast

  • Ray

    missed opportunity benz

  • Pride of Lyon

    ouuuuuuuuuh benzema soo close

  • Gog

    I knew it! :( It didn't look good at all.That's why i wanted to see someone replacing Juninho cause he did well,he made a goal,but we needed to run and to defend.Well now i don't want him out.Now we need 1 more goal.

  • mikep

    dear god........... time to do what we do best score

  • Ray

    couldn't be stopped...we knew this would happen sooner or later with all that pressure..

  • Pride of Lyon

    goal for bayern... what are the players doing. Bayern is tearing us apart

  • Ray

    Fiorentina still 0-0

  • Ray

    Demichelis yellow

  • Gog

    No...i have nothing against Juninho:D I just said he seem's to be tired.Not that i want him out.He made a great free kick but after that he was invisible.

  • Ray

    WOW Toni blew it there.

  • mikep

    Lmao gogs relax he will come off soon he made 2 of 3 of our goals in the cl and almost 8 or 9 in ligue 1. Leave him on til 60 or 70. Then ur wish will come true

  • Pride of Lyon

    must be interesting to see the BATE - Juventus game. 2-2 at half time. I would never have believed BATE were that good.

  • John

    Hopefully when Juni comes off they'll go to a 4-4-2 or move Karim back to the center.

  • Gog

    Juninho seems tired to me.That's what i said before...he's a great player,but can't play the whole match good.

  • lefutur

    OL need to step up the offensive pressure and not sit back. Benzema up front in a 4-4-2 seems like the best strategy.

  • Pride of Lyon

    My guess is Puel will get Juni off at some point and change into a 4-4-2 with Fred up front.
    Now that Govou is out, we must not get Fred off just yet... If we change into a 4-4-2 he may be more effective.

  • John

    This is the best stream I've found: http://www.justin.tv/directspo...

  • Gog

    We played well the first half.I'm sad cause Pjanic won't play:) but the most important is that we win today and he'll get his chance in the next game.
    Bayern plays disappointing.I thought they were better.

  • Ray

    what an open game..very scary every time they come storming down the field

  • Pride of Lyon

    Why is the Juninho goal considered an Own goal? Ths free kick was on target, and as far as I know it is considered an own goal only if the shot of origin wasn't on target...

  • lefutur

    the problem is on the left side as predicted...Oddo is getting a lot of crosses in.

  • Ray

    them yellow jerseys are starting to grow on me

  • lefutur

    hmm. I wonder if Puel will risk playing keita since he's been injured for so long.

    Juni will need to come off at some point i would think.

  • lefutur

    Is Keita gonna come on for Govou?

  • Ray

    Govou off for Ederson

  • Pride of Lyon

    your wish comes true... ederson in for govou

  • lefutur

    either that or pull off Juni and switch to a 4-4-2.Juni will get tired in the second half anyway.

  • Pride of Lyon

    no, govou is a weight now... limping... limping... limping...

  • lefutur

    I wish Ederson was playing on the left with Benzema in the middle.

  • Pride of Lyon

    oh, yeah, he is back

  • Pride of Lyon

    doesn't look too good for govou

  • Pride of Lyon

    I just love how there are always 2 players on Karim... and still they have a hard time!

  • Ray

    Lloris steppin up big time

  • Pride of Lyon

  • Ray
