Unbelievable, Gustavo just banged in a fourth but what was Dante doing. Nice really have shot themselves up the arse in this game.
Don't worry...things happen...it's bonkers.Unbelievable, Gustavo just banged in a fourth but what was Dante doing. Nice really have shot themselves up the arse in this game.
Didn't see it but have heard about it on today's Pods.Anyone see the Marcelo (Lyon) sending off from last weekend ? Comical. Ref gives yellow, the defender turns his back and does a kind of disgruntled shrug but just as he does the ref puts his hand with the card in downwards and the shrug hand of the defender catches the downward hand of the ref, knocking the yellow card out of the ref's hand and sending it spiralling into the air. The ref takes umbrage and produces a red for poor old Marcelo, for a complete accident that was as much the refs fault.
Lyon then go from 3-1 to 3-3.

What was your take on the end of the Nice v OM game?
After OM's 4th there is a straight red for Luis Gustavo on a tackle that he got all ball and made contact with the player a foot after clearing. Then a pen to Nice on a questionable foul/dive on st-Maximin was missed by Plea who incidentally was booked for diving earlier. But OM held out.I'm not sure I watched it all the way to the end, I've watched so much football this weekend I can't remember, why, what happened ?

cracking equilizerVery exciting match between lyon and monaco. 3 goals in first 23 minutes. Oooo pen claim goes begging.
slowpokeVery good game on now, Lyon v Monaco. Lyon giving Monaco a bit of a game. Ndombele has been very impressive, powerful, athletic but with good feet, passes and moves well with the ball too. Liking what I’m seeing of him so far. Mendy the Lb looks and plays very much like his 50m name sake.

Have fun watching the rest. Considering the BCS-TC I won't spoil anything. Good stuff though. Ligue 1 refs are horrid though.Damn got to pop out, get back to this later, shame, was enjoying it.

Great and fitting end to that match. I agree that Lyon deserved that. 3 posts and missed point blank header. So young, so promising are Lyon. I kinda think Everton are going to get hammered in Lyon next week. It is going to be a huge disparity in team pace. Lyon of course do not look watertight at the back. And it was interesting to see Remi Garde in the crowd. Genesio can't be comfortable with that.Boom. What a finish. You weren't wrong. Another great night for my boy Fekir, two goals and a quality assist, so unlucky to have the other one chalked off too, sweet finish. Thoroughly deserved for Lyon, who were by far the better side.
Good performances all over the pitch for a young Lyon. The young kid Aouar (19) did well, Ndombele (20) definitely looks one to keep an eye on, Mendy (22) looks promising as well. Diakhaby (20) is also starting to look like a very promising CB. Even Tete looked pretty decent. On a side note, never understood why Newcastle were happy to play some of the clowns they did at CB over the last few seasons but fucked off Yanga-Mbiwa, never quite top drawer, but a fuck sight better than some of the idiots Newcastle kept.

Aouar does look to have something. Was really impressed with him. He can carry it or pass it and he really does have the touch of a proper midfielder. Ndombele also looks good but over-elaborated in dangerous places in the 2nd half. Don't know if it was fatigue or indecision but he took more time that he will get were he to step up. Tete I have yet to be impressed with, at Ajax or Lyon. Definitely more intrigued by Mendy. La Havre has had and continues to have one hell of a production line.
I remember Yanga-Mbiwa showing decent promise at Newcastle. Pards seemed to give him opportunities but after a couple clangers he was never really seen again. Was surprised when he popped up at Roma.
Edit: do you think Fekir would do the defensive work that Poch demands?
Any opinions on Mariano Diaz?
