Lyon (H) - Post Match Thread

[Thomas Hearns]

If Peps absence affected the players then I am sure they will find out about it tomorrow!

It wouldn’t surprise me if there were 5/6 changes at the weekend off the back of that.

Yep. Rest Dinho. Drop Jesus. Drop/rest Stones and Laporte. Give Mahrez another chance from the start.

Better still I'll stop posting and start supporting City instead

I fucking doubt you’re a blue full stop!!

Bad night all round. Piss poor effort from the coaching staff, from the players and from the fans. Fortunately we’ve got 5 more chances to put it right and I’m totally sure we will

 

[Blue Hefner]

I said to Mrs Hef during the anthem that our players looked bored - that seemed to carry on into the game. Not focused and didn’t do a great deal right. It all looked very Pellegrini

 

[levets]

Yep missed it sincerely

Reminiscent of Bobby Moore it was

Lets give Lyon some credit they deserved it took the game to us and scored from our mistakes. Delph what the fuck he was up to I will never know. Fernandhino losing the ball while Laporte was beside him. Even the passing was poor David Silva looked so so poor at times. We should get out of the group but it is a wake up call of sorts. Which can be good. I think a few have come back and dont look up to it. Jesus , Gundogan tonight was poor as was Fernandhino and David Silva so wasteful on the ball. We need a reaction to this defeat.

Bad game.
Don’t feel the despair I would have in a previous life but we need to sort it out pretty sharpish.

Credit to OL. They had a go and created a lot of chances - and yet, they didn’t strike me as better than either Shakhtar or Napoli were last year...

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Tonight was the kind of performance that will give Oxford a lot of hope!

 

[Bozo]

Haven't seen any of the intensity we had last season, this season. Poor effort tonight.

 

[Roachy]

Well for what it's worth, I think that other than the Arsenal game we look stale and tonight was no exception. At no point did we control any part of that game. I admit they were a lively outfit in parts but we were so slack. Two mistakes and two goals, that's no good. We're susceptible to the counter attack so bad and that is quite alarming for a team like ours. Last point- Gundogan really needs to start upping his game big time because that was borderline pathetic tonight.
