Peace Cup: Lyon vs. Porto

Damn, if this team won't click then i don't know what to do. By the looks of it from the peace cup our passing really sucks, but it does also for Real Madrid, so i'm keeping my head held high...

John Mensah is injured again,this guy will die soon...hahaha

Flash> Gomis is good player give him a chance

hmmmmmm, so we have about 4 capable strikers now ( if you wanna call " whats-his-name " capable ).

yet, we still need a defender ( unless we are promoting from within )

Michael, Puel said on olweb.fr that after signing Gomis, the recruitment would end.

Gomis is a penalty box striker, strong but has bad technique. For me Remy would be a better option, I think that Gomis is an overated player.

I heard that Lyon want another striker

yea, just hope he won't get too clumsy, well, i believe it's a good thing, he a good striker who will also be considered beackup for Licha.

He is very good with head,good speed,very very strong(not like Carew),good shot......
I think he is very talented striker,alot beter than piquionne

damn, Gomis. What is his Strenght's really?, Is he fast like a bullet or only strong? could maybe fit well

Excited, but i wished we had a bit more time to "build" the team (and also not to recruit at the last moment...)

Don't know about you guys, I'm excited seeing how this team works out

CBS is confirming.....didnt know CBS was into "soccer"

I really hoped Gomis was a smoke screen for Guiza. Oh god I hope we don't have two Piquionnes.

Yeah, the defence is a serious issue and really lets down the quality of the rest of the squad. I watched 10 minutes against Besiktas and there quite honestly all over the place. I don't have a great deal of confidence for how they'll cope next year

Lloris
Cissokho
Makoun Bodmer Toulalan
Pjanic Ederson
Delgado Bastos
Lopez Gomis

No defense!

I still wondering: do we have a descent defense?

Gomis for me has a lot of potential. Could be use to deviate balls to Lisandro. He's strong. Now it all depends on the team organisation, and offensive animation (which i think we lacked a lot last year).

I guess Gomis provides something different up front to something we've had in a while and will probably give us a much needed physicality up front - from what I've seen he can bully defenders with his physique. He's got a relatively decent scoring record - but then again so did Piquionne before he came and look how that turned out!

not seen Gomis play much, how do you guys rate him? he's certainly capable of the spectacular - and stepped up to the occasion against Valenciennes for the final game this year

Need one more player up front, and 1 or 2 or 3 in defense, and then to sell Piquionne and Anderson.

Gomis is a OL player (OFFICIAL)

Thank you julien

I think Cris should worry about his current level of play in L1, before he thinks of making a fool of himself somewhere else, but this is good for the future in that we will be able to replace him, bec I just don't see him regaining his old form, and I'd hate to see him go through the humiliation of being benched, which would be tough for Puel to do.
And 15mill for Gomis? JMA's losing his marbles.

Michael > the negociations between Lyon and Nice for Remy have ended because of the hesitations of Nice

Cris will stay

Can someone explain this,I don't understand french

So what is everyone's thoughts on Gomis? Seems to be the likeliest arrival

If Guiza and Remy come than Guiza should be our joker of the bench

wiki still says he's with Fener.....

Current club Lyon
Number 9

Good to see loyalty and focus in our "experienced" players...

The Guiza rumour would be nice in the fact it would lower " Whats-his-name" all the way to 4th behind Lisandro, Guiza* and Tafer.

but 12 mil., that im not sure about. Maybe its cause im used to Lyon not paying that or cause Real has Inflated the market Average ( thanks Corey, your team does wonders.... *Angry Face* )

yeah Zach, your most likely going to have follow Lyon on the web ( thats if you want to follow them ).

The streams David submitted should help ( as they are free ). But if your not afraid of letting a few dollars go, you could always get OLTV on their official Website.

Good luck, and hope you Follow the Lyon often :)

I'm hearing the Guiza talk are only rumors. Another rumor is Strasbourg local newspaper is saying they are about to sign Yannis Tafer on loan. Only if we sign a new striker, which is bound to happen.

Hey Zach, there are a bunch of different websites that you can use to find online streams of games.

I like to use http://www.iraqgoals.net/ but if you're looking for more obscure games a good place to start searching is http://www.myp2p.eu/competitio...

if remy and guiza come one will sit and get mad.. and it seems redundant for remy to come back just to sit again

well if we play 4-4-2 guiza should come and we should still loan our mounier and get Gomis as back-up, maybe give piquionne to les verts.

Hey Inara how o you watch these games? I'm considering following Lyon and I only have fsc which i dont think has ligue 1.

Big clubs need depth in the squad

I dont really understand the situation,Guiza seems to be close,but so does Remy as well and I dont see why we need Lisandro,Remy and Guiza,because what it means that at least one of them wont be in the team and when your paying big money for three forwards(ridiculous money in Remys case)they cant afford not to be in the team.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/n...

Guiza is class,a true finisher(although he isnt tall 181cm-not small but not tall,tall is 185cm+)im excited about possibling signing a spain international(although nothing has been confirmed and personal terms maybe an issue,so we need to be careful)what happened to Remy s deal now.Maybe Remy and Guiza.

Since they are already in Spain... and had somewhat planned to stay longer... OL will play a friendly game against FC Seville on Thursday night before returning to Lyon.

http://www.goal.com/fr/news/29...

Hope the Guiza deal is true, we could need some height in the box, now we'll have two lethal finishers

I agree with stanley. a lot of great teams take a while to get out of the starting blocks.

Looks like Remy is finally heading back to Lyon!

http://www.lequipe.fr/Football...

I hate Porto! They beat every French team they meet. Only PSG managed to beat them in 2005. I hope they land in same group as Lyon or Marseille and are taught a lesson.

ok. another preseason friendly in the bag.

Why cannot we even make a simple pass? we shoot from 40 meters? wtf???

grenier will save the day. ;)

lyon have been resorting to long range shots all day

can we still find 11 players on the market? Let's say 10 (11-Lloris) + 1 COACH (i can't believe i'm saying that, i tipped JMA on Puel...)

yeah, stepped out to help out with laundry, see porto added another......Puel not making any friends at the moment.

unfortunately

Is that a live video i'm watching with a OL 0 - 2 Porto score?

Lyon are toothless :(

Hulk scores Benzema like goal

i hope lisandro doesnt change his mind

Maybe we should've bought Hulk too!!!

omg 2-0

tafer on!

cris so close!

Why are all the attacks coming from the left. Too predictable.

nice shot from ederson

kallstom and govou are on

Bastos is going to be amazing. He can't do it all by himself though. Can't wait to see how Lopez blends with the squad.

http://www.rojadirecta.com/jus...

thats for you Thomas

Puel finaly put a real striker in, Ederson.

any good streams?

i wonder if Puel will send on Lopez in the second half

Pjanic is still alittle too raw when it comes to playing the "Juninho" role ( yea i know, i just made it up and im not original, but still....).

even though its a friendly 4-4-2 wouldn't work, because we would be asking too much of Makoun.

HT

I'd like to see one day, a formation with two AMFs, Ederson and Pjanic; that would be nice.

omfg piq is useless

passes arent clicking cause we're playing through Makoun, whos isnt a deep-lying playmaker type.

Pjanic is suppose to be the playmaker, but it doesnt seem he is interested in getting the ball.....

I would prefer seeing Pjanic/ Mounier/Bastos paired as strikers than what we have now.

RB: Vercoutre played against Besitkas and had a spectacular save, but inconsistency is what keeps him on the bench.
Is Sonny Anderson eligable to play? Somebody get that guy a kit!!!!

we can't get our passing to click..........................................

Vercoutre did play against bestiktas. And cris is looking better and better

i still cant believe Puel still chooses whats-his-name over Tafer for the starting Forward spot........he does nothing !

We really need a striker or two. Piquionne plays like he's 45.

shots are multiplying for lyon

omg cris, what a pass

I see: Bastos on the right, mounier on the left.

Cris almost did it again!!!!

might as well see Hartock if we're going to give-up the match so quick.

porto 1

Lyon 0

Hulk = a monster

Vercoutre proving that he is what he is...a backup Gk........

Damn Cissokho is fast

http://www.rojadirecta.com/jus...

No birthday wishes for Sidney??? The big 3 0 Haha. Anyway looking forward to the match. Congrats to Mehamha and the under-19s too. Semi-finals.

Damn, any1 got the starting eleven? too bad Lisandro wont be playing, could really use him. Exciting to see tafer though
