    Jallet with a rocket! Right at the goalie and over his head.

    Jallet was asked about his goal, and he said. "yeah I just closed my eyes and hoped for the best. Sometimes miracles happen"

    Sums it up. Surprised he didn't get a nosebleed that far up the pitch.

    That Cornet goal. Wow. Just Wow.

    They are all over Toulouse. Depay with a well worked goal. So far so good.

    And then Depay was like "yeah, I can do better ;)"

    Great win. Good statement of intent for Thursday.

    So there's still people who think MU will buy back Depay because of some buyback clause. First off, Mourinho didnt sign him in the first place, and he let him leave so he's clearly not in his plans. By the time its time to buy him back, Mourinho might not even be the manager and whoever is the manager will want his own players. I hope I stop reading this crap.

    I have to think that his United days are far behind him. As a Chelsea fan I know Mourinho all to well. Once you're deemed surplus to requirements there is no return possible.

    Depay went to United too early. Probably would have been better off in the Bundesliga or La Liga where there is an emphasis on youth development and playing younger players. Depay will either be sold to a Bundesliga side or get a big money move back into England. I hope he stays in Lyon for a few years. He's perfect for the league and can really build his confidence back up just like Draxler.

    With the likelihood of Lacazette and Tolisso leaving this summer there is going to be a void left of 1) goals and 2) high level players. Depay could fill thst void along with Fekir and Tousart. Depay could be really good here.

    Lacazette didnt get a call up from Deschamps. Pretty damn sad. He surely has to leave Lyon now and move on.

    Deschamps can go ******** himself.

    It's mind boggling how someone with his goal pedigree can't make the squad. I get Giroud offers something different and needed but come on.

    Much needed win at Metz. Infuriating again that we blow so hot and cold away from home though. Makes the Rennes result a little tough to take. At this point we just need to finish strong and go after the Europa League.

    1-4 loss to Lorient. I think only winning the Europa League can save the manager.

    Genesio has to go. Giving up 4 goals at home to LORIENT. Blasphemy. Done after the season IMO regardless.

    Rumors are that Gonalons is on his way out. I'm not sure where the team will be next season. With the Laca and Tolisso money I hope JMA has a "good"plan....

    Lyon need a Sporting Director. The on the field plan has been lacking in the past several seasons.

    Frankly I agree. I will be very curious if any of the Laca/Coco money is used to reinforce the squad of all of that goes to the Chinese loan for the stadium. Leaning for the latter.

    Meaning neither he nor the club have received a sufficient offer. Strange.

    Bertrand Traore to O'L seems imminent on a 5 year deal.

    Honestly, we're not going to be good this season. The midfield is paper thin and just not good enough. Hope I'm wrong, I just think it's going to be a major struggle.

    Tousart and Darder are the only adequate mids we have and Ferri is serviceable but not great and Grenier is Grenier.... On top of that, as high as I am on Aouar, I'm not exactly sure he's ready to play every day although I could be surprised there.

    CB - Yanga Mbiwa, Nkoulou, Marcelo, Diakhaby, Mammana
    RB - Rafael, Tete
    LB - Morel, Marcal, Mendy

    It may not be quality depth but there's a lot of depth here. Selling Mammana might be bad since Yanga Mbiwa and Nkoulou are not performing up to what they once were. Should probably sign another RB.
