GOAL! Brilliant goal from Benzema in the 32nd minute...did great work to get through a couple of players, then picked up a lucky deflection and chipped it over the keeper from just inside the box!

Goal Lorient in the 67th minute. Well-deserved, since the Lyon offense has been non-existent and the goal has been under siege for the past ten minutes. 2-1.

Nice game by Vahirua. His first goal should be goal of the week
and I wouldn't be shocked if it was a candidate for goal of the season.
OL, obviously, have some serious work to do on defense.
Has OL been that gutted in the off season?
Is Ligue 1 a wide open this season?

Full time. Lorient win 2-1.
I'm starting to get a bit concerned about the team's ability to win L1, much less compete in Europe.

It was a very poor goalkeeping by Vercoutre. We could've at least got a point out of this game.
*sigh*..

It's all falling apart now. The end of an era is imminent.

The 4-4-2 dose not suit Lyon. They are better off with 3 center midfielders 2 wide men & a target man. There missing Coupet alot, Vercoutre looks terrible & there going to miss Cris an awful lot until he returns.

Who's gonna beat them ? Marseille, no, PSG, no, Monaco, no. The competition is still weak.

The only thing I can say for sure is that a 4-4-2 is not the right way to utilize Juninho's abilities. He doesn't seem to be enjoying as much freedom as he used to in the old formation and I think the lack of his influence on the game is what's hurting us at the moment.

So with many clubs having a shot as opposed OL winning it by Jan,
you would think that would make Ligue 1 more interesting to follow???

Juninho is in danger of losing his starting spot. Kallstrom is much better in a 4-4-2. In fact, both times Juninho played, Lyon lost.

Are you serious? Is he fading or just going thru a dry patch?
Maybe the new formation utilizing the current talent doesn't
suit Juninho? :eek:
Any links or highlights?
