Default Lyon is really useless !!!!

Have you seen the game yesterday ?

I have, and i must ask WHY WHY WHY ?

Why wanting to go to the QF to play that way.
I mean, even tho i know Porto is an excellent team, along with Monaco and Lyon they are the "weakest" of them all.
And yesterday i really thought at least one goal could enter their net.

Instead of that, i've seen boulevards in Lyon's defence, portuguese players always alone in the last 20 meters ( see the 1st goal where 3 different players touch the ball with a lyon player being 2 meters away from him.
Don't get me started on the 2nd goal ).
I remember when i was younger in my club how we would get flamed by the coach for letting a player alone in our last 20 meters.........So when i see this !!!
How many Porto cross over from the right (especially) has there been ? I should have counted, but more than 10.
More than 10 in a QF of a CL.
With such a high ratio you can be sure that at least one will eventually hit the net.......It happened..........twice.

I think french teams should hire italian defence specialists to educate them on that specific part of the game, cause we loose too many of them on such rookie mistake.

Au revoir Lyon, à l'année prochaine.................

Well the Lyon defence(minus Coupet) is clearly the weakest part of the team. I wonder if they can buy anyone good in the off season to help improve it. I was hearing some Porto fans saying they could have scored 4 goals. Lyon fans i saw were freaking out they couldnt believe the result.
