*****The Official Champions vs Olympique Lyonnais Match Thread*****

[TheKingObv 10,642]

What the actual fuck is up with these commentators?

Acting like we've been abysmal?

Baffling 

[SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,798]

We look very vulnerable at the back, Barisic keeps getting skinned.

[BigBearButt 3,627]

The fucks davis all about. Lazy fucker

So the usual then?

It's maddening. He has flashes of brilliance, then has really shocking moments. 

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,137]

To be fair there’s not much between the two teams, we need a way to unlock their defence, as usual

So negative, we have had the better of that so far. Behind to a worldie and a world class save. 

 

[Dado'sMulls 2,617]

So poor again from Barisic, that's Bassey's jersey to lose this season imo

[LegendofCoop 17,274]

Fuckin wake up Borna ffs!

[Malkytfp1 18,594]

Still well in this. Hopefully management find a solution at half time.

Don't understand all the Lundstram hate. 

[.Williamson. 82,192]

I don’t think this Lyon side are all that great. We find our proper level and we could win this 

Lundstram is a lazy bastard btw, it’s like he has the mindset of a player that’s still playing for Sheffield United 

[Johnsey 1,540]

Better towards the end. 

We can't let them play walking football at the back though when we need to get back in the game. Seem to be outnumbered at times but there are signs we can get at them. 

Need our press and intensity back. 

[scott12003 711]

down to a great goal

but fuck me there is a few that need to step up kamara and aribo have been poor on and off the ball

[16BlueSherbert90 19,223]

Time to wake up properly in second half. We can't be letting this happen at home of all places. 

[ESWF 144]

Flat, lethargic performance. Too slow, a man down in midfield no pace or intensity & the build up to Lyon goal was rubbish from Kent & Lundstram.

We need a midfield to unlock the oppositions defence

Davis/Kamara/Lundstrum - Davis is the only one to get pass marks and even then he's not been brilliant

[bluenoz 30,835]

Much better from Kent and Rangers overall in the last 20 minutes.

I thought Balogun was excellent. Tav quiet.

Drop Aribo back and bring on Roofe, Wright or Sakala.

Kent had to aim for the top corner there.

What a ridiculously hard shot on the turn you’re talking about there 

[NitshillBear 1,455]

Happier with the last 15 there but some howling defending at our end. We could be going in 3-2 down.

Eh? 

He's been putting in great balls that half. 

I honestly don't get why folk are so negative all the time. 

[Clemdog 39,389]

Well frustrating.

A silly mistake from Kent and laziness from Lundstram - we concede a worldie.

Apart from that it's been very even with the game going in ebbs and flows for both teams. 

[the goal machine 7,801]

Not sure what the commentators have been watching but if anything, we’ve been the better team and they just happened to score a belter. Still all to play for.

[BlueboyG 5,238]

Tav hasn't got by their full back once and Barasic is being forced to turn back every time.

[GaryMc 2,394]

The lack of belief we have attacking is really worrying. You just don't feel like we'll score just now.

Kent seems to have lost that pace and sharpness which he had last season. Don't know what's up with him. Borna is the same.

[Professor_Chang 1,055]

We have been playing some good stuff at times.  We just seem to have lost belief in ourselves.  Be tempted to move Aribo centrally and get Wright on as no chance he'll being Kelly on.
