The Kid's alright - Getting the last L'OL: Tanner Tessmann at Olympic Lyonnaise

Maybe he tried speaking French with his 'Bama accent and they just weren't having it.

 

He’s not performing consistently at a high enough level so wasn’t selected for this match.

 

I think we owe a debt of gratitude to whatever brilliant AI Google translator bot provided that news release. Crystal clear (no, AI, please do not amend it to include ANYTHING about Crystal Palace, at least not about football and/or soccer or fairy tale princesses who live in crystal palaces and lose one of their glass playing boots on the escape staircase when the clock strikes midnight).

 

Tanner speaks " bruh " fluently.

Up 2-0 in the 69th.

They won 2-0.

 

He has beaten the logic of repression.

Matic still out. Haven't seen an update on his prognosis.

 

Tessmann wouldn’t be the first young player to transfer to a higher level team and have a rocky start. He was playing in a second division league last season, ok?

 

He's been a late sub at this point. Not so bad

 

1 start and late subs otherwise...he's been there less than a month?

 

Just changing leagues from a different top 5 league can take time to adjust. look at Luis at Juventus.

 

And missed their entire pre-season.

 

Tessmann on the bench, Lyon (T-7th) visiting Le Havre (T-14th).

 

Tessman Le Havre not.

In what reminds me of the old Robert Goulet bit, Vinicius (Abner) scores for Lyon. Fofana makes it 2-0 early in the 2nd.

Seems a bit of a chippy game with 3 YC for each side, including middies Caqueret and Tolisso for Lyon.

Tessmann went 65', leaving the game at 0-0. I think this was his best match to date for Lyon:


Also had 4 successful tackles and 1 clearance.

 

Yea he showed a little personality. They kinda fell apart a little bit right after he left the match.

 

they don't call em l'ol for nothing. Despite leading the shots battle 28 to 9, they're down 0-1.

 

Possession without penetration is just masturbation
Ray Hudson

 

But should be discouraged nonetheless...

 

Strong performance. Could improve his ball carrying but very impressive positional sense and passing (albeit against a weak side). High upside player with his technical quality and size. A tempo setter like Cardoso but more athletic.

Would be a good choice for the US when we are playing as a ball-dominant side.

 

Don't knock masturbaion. It's sex with someone you love.

I don't know about that. The outcome can be pretty good. IMHO.

 

Maybe it's just my dirty mind, but I think this derail has gone far enough!!!

Wonder who started it
