Perrin's approach:

Allez-vous poursuivre en 4-4-2 ?

Oui. Les joueurs commencent à avoir leurs repères. On va rester dans la continuité.

Comment allez-vous utiliser Juninho ?

Déjà, je vais voir avec lui s’il se sent bien. S’il me dit qu’il est OK, alors pourquoi pas le faire débuter ? Je ne vais obligatoirement dissocier le duo Källström-Toulalan. Juni peut évoluer sur le côté gauche ou en soutien de l’attaquant. Il peut commencer la rencontrer ou bien entrer en joker dans les trente dernières minutes où sa qualité de conservation et de passe serait utile. Je suis en pleine réflexion.

SO its Kallstrom and Toulalan in the middle permanently huh? Or at least til one of them starts screwing up.

[Inara]

Crap. What about Bodmer???

[AfrcnHrbMan]

I'm sure he'll get his minutes, but I don't see why he should start if Kallstrom and Bodmer are playing well together. Besides Kallstrom needs to be on the field as much as possible


at least til he's cup tied :D

[Allez Lyonnais]

Muller is out injured and will be replaced by Squillaci.

[AfrcnHrbMan]

Benzema is class. He's unlucky not to have 2 goals right now.

[AfrcnHrbMan]

and oh yea Kallstrom sees red and Govou is injured.....

[FNU]

What the hell was that red for, I just tuned in.

[Inara]

Lyon look like they are falling apart.

I think Kallstrom was red carded for spitting at the fourth official's feet. He got injured and the official asked him to leave the pitch, but he didn't want to and supposedly spit at the referree's shoes or something.

Govou and Cris went off injured.

[AfrcnHrbMan]

I don't think theyre playing that bad considering theyre down to 10 men, away.

[AfrcnHrbMan]

On second thought, thank god Toulouse can't find the net or we would be down 2 nothing right now.

[Inara]

WTF was Vercoutre doing?

Toulouse 1 - Lyon 0

Edit: Where was the backline? Domenech picked a bad OL game to watch.

[AfrcnHrbMan]

And its over. Lyon only takes 2 match days to record their first loss. What a reversal of fortunes.

[AfrcnHrbMan]

WOW and toulouse almost make it 2-nil. WHAT THE ********

[sl7vk]

Wow.....

Maybe there could be a championat this year after all!

[AfrcnHrbMan]

Yea, as long as Lyon is only allowed 10 men on the pitch there will be!

[midknight]

Yea, as long as Lyon is only allowed 10 men on the pitch there will be!

Yup.

Nightmare game. Any word on Cris and Govou's injuries ? :(

[guignol]

the worst of all possible nightmares! a last minute loss to a direct opponent for the title, and 3 key players out, 2 to injury and 1 to suspension.

what a jerk that thual!! i didn't see what happened (he obviously didn't either) but to miss a foul that opens up someone's orbital and then get on the injured player's back because he's not getting off the pitch quickly enough for his liking :mad:... someone ought to drop a house on him!

ligaments for coupet and now cris? last year's hamstrings were bad enough, i hope we're not getting a new and costlier flavor of the year! :(

[Inara]

Wow.....

Maybe there could be a championat this year after all!

Well, last year Lyon tied and then lost to Toulouse with Abidal, Malouda, and Tiago. People often don't give Toulouse credit, but they are a strong side when they want to be and often play best to big opponents.

[lefutur]

i hope cris is going to be ok.

also does anyone know why Baros was called back when he turned on his defender and got into a position to score? it was clearly not an offsides call.
