And what kind of coach consistently benches three of his best players (Bodmer, Keita, Ben Arfa)?

What is the matter with Perrin? Do I need to come to France to bust his ass?

Benzema does not play well on the left! It is the height of stupidity. I too am hoping for an error. Maybe it’s Benzema-Baros up front with Govou and KK as wingers? That is slightly more palatable. But not having Ben Arfa on the pitch is a crime.

Laurie: I will ask for you. In fact, I’ve been meaning to devote a post to Setanta bitching (I also have broadband).

“I hope Perrin knows what he ’s doing” You means the two 0-3 were a kind of secret strategy to qualify…

eurosport has a similar line-up to the l’equipe one with benzema playing at left wing. they also have toulalan in the squad so that doesn’t make sense.

god, i hope perrin knows what he’s doing.

Wow, according to lequipe.fr, Perrin will put Baros and Govou with Benzema up front (I’m guessing Benzema will play on the left), with Kallstrom, Juni and Santos in the middle.

Let me say I can’t believe in such a big matchup where Lyon HAVE to win, they don’t put Keita and/or Ben Arfa.

Absolutely amazing. Somehow, I hope the journalist made a mistake.

Inara, could you run question by your readers? Does anybody have the UEFA subscription — the $39.95 one that allows access to “Match highlights from UEFA competitions including full access to the uefa.com video archive”?

I know it doesn’t offer access to live games, but does it offer access to all games once they reach the archives? And how long does it take for games to reach the archives? Same day? Next day? Next week?

I’ve become incredibly frustrated with Setanta broadband for their lack of French games lately. I’m thinking this could be a good alternative for Champions League but don’t want to waste my money if it doesn’t offer all the games or has too long a delay. Anybody?

That is one big difference from Houllier. Ged was always saying things like, “I know other teams are scared to play us,” and “we are going to win.” He never even picked out favorites whereas Perrin always names the other team as favorites.

Is it just me, or does Perrin NEVER sound confident ahead of big matches? How are the players supposed to respect him?
