Allez L'OM!!! Time to go back to the top!!!

[zizouForlife]

tough game it will be, hoping our defense is at our best tomorrow evening

[uvasoccer]

Does anyone know a place with Setanta in the DC Metro Area that will show this game? Preferably in a good atmosphere, not drowned out by all the NFL fans.

(Apologies if this is not the correct place to post - please advise if there is a more appropriate thread/forum.)

[prvev]

You may want to ask in the DCU forum (I don't have a problem with you asking here, but I haven't noticed any of the frequenters of the France forums being from around there).

FT, 0-0. Home to Nancy next Sunday, in second place and still 3 points behind Lyon.

[Catel]

What a disappointing and annoying game :( Does Puel know that his team was expected to play football ??

Aulas should not be surprised that Canal + will rather give money to Juventus and Milan next time than to him.

[prvev]

It was pretty boring, yea. I mean, honestly, the only time I ever felt like Lyon may score was on set pieces. We had a couple chances here and there, but not much. It's a good result though, I guess.

Oh, our passes out of the back never cease to scare the crap out of me. It's good as long as nobody messes up, though. And it's good football.

[zizouForlife]

this match reminded me of the EPL, if you watch that league, you know its very physical and too much running. no player can hold the ball more than minute without severely tackled, coupled with tough defending of ligue 1. thats what this match was, every player was preoccupied with not letting opponent get the ball

i expected fantastic display of french football, which is usually dictated by strong midfielders with touch passes play with occasion dribbling.

most disappointing game of the weekend

[zizou555]

I finished watching it and was asleep in 5 min.

Neither coaches wanted to loose this game.
Well 3 points away,we should be able to catch them.(Gerets should tell Hatem to pass the ball,other than that the kid is a magician)

Is it me or has the level of Lyon players gone down????

[zizouForlife]

it definitely has, only benz and juninho are holding the team

or

other teams are catching up to lyon

Well when you have strikers hella drunk (ie..Govou (http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slug=reu-francegovou&prov=reuters&type=lgns)), it might show on the pitch

Well.i m very happy that l'OM are getting better(i think we are still a big work in progress,too many youngsters that have not gotten there yet and some weak spots),and definitely both Bordeaux and PSG have gotten better and that has given more competition to OL.

But what i m talking about is that they seem to lake the class they used to have.They used to be better,harder to beat,stronger in Europe.

[SportBoy333]

I think Puel thinks he still managing Lille. That would explain his tactics and recruitment.

[Catel]

Wow, great sentence:
"Cheyrou is a boring player who transforms l'OM into an exciting machine.
Zenden is the contrary."
:p
