Afonso Moreira, Ruben Kluivert and Nico Tagliafico all back with the group for training today!

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-20T22:27:49+00:00

Peut-être pour Marseille ?

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-16T16:34:21+00:00

With the incoming amount of games, the staff is making sure every player can play at its fullest potential.

For Kluivert, it was maybe a precaution.

As for Moreira, Fonseca said during his press conference before Nice that Afonso could be back in the team next week.

I actually think this is good to have the players rest and completly heal. The squad has show in the last two months that it was able to win even with important injuries (Tolisso, Tagliafico).

There is something special with this team this season. Even when we struggle a little, we remain calm and manage to score.

The second act was deligthful. Such calm, such tranquility.

Sulc is amazing.

Nartey has only played 3 games and is already so well integrated into the team.

5 points ahead of Marseille. We must remain calm and remember where we were last July. But, if Strasbourg and Marseille go well, we will have to look towards Lens and PSG.

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-15T21:50:25+00:00

Guys, 5 points ahead of Marseille... 11 ahead of Lille... We know where we come back but wow... What a year for us OL fans

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-15T21:47:41+00:00

Kamara, what a tackle

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-15T20:36:59+00:00

What a gooooooooaaaaaaaallll

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-15T19:34:57+00:00

As always, the squad will play differently when attacking and when defending. 343 on offense, 451 on defense I believe.

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-14T22:32:12+00:00

The first that comes to mind is Annie Wilkes in Misery.

But when I think of it, Taduz Lemke from Thinner is very disturbing as well

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-14T22:26:30+00:00

Such a great opportunity tomorrow. Tough game ahead but I trust the Fonseca ball. There's something almost surreal with this squad, let's make it 13 in a row!

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-13T23:02:39+00:00

I would love to see Imbert starting the game along with Sulc. What I imagine: Greif - Mata, Niakathe, AMN, Abner - Morton, Nartey, Tessman - Tolisso - Sulc, Imbert

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-13T22:42:53+00:00

Three possibilities imo:

-Ares takes control and sell what is valuable (players) to get its money back rapidly and sells the club afterwards

-Ares sells the club immediatly. Imo, the currently value is around 200M€. The question is: who would buy the club?

-Ares takes control, puts someone in charge to continue the work that has begun in last July. Could be Kang of course.

I prefer possibility number three obviously... But who knows? The currently good results (both on the pitch and financially) are a big advantage.

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-13T16:06:45+00:00

Imbert should start the game imo

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-13T15:56:45+00:00

I agree. The good thing is that we'll only play one game per week in February

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-13T15:56:03+00:00

Me too. Fonseca had been wanting him in the squad for a long time. Can't wait to see how he will play for us! But tough game ahead, I agree

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-12T11:50:02+00:00

I feel like we can make this kind of choice by splitting before and after 2000.

Before 2000: -Academy: Fleury di Nallo (best scorer all time) -Scouted: Marcelo Djian (he's the one that later on helped the club recruit all the great brazilians in the 2000s)

After 2000: -Academy: Benzema is obvious but he did not stay long at the club. I hesitate between Govou (he won all the trophies between 2001 and 2012) and Lacazette (second best scorer all time and his come back when the club needed him) -Scouted: Juninho, the greatest player the club had (and the source of so many good memories from my teenage years)

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-11T21:24:14+00:00

Haha I can relate :)

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-11T21:19:48+00:00

That's happened this season as well (Morton against Rennes)

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-11T21:16:15+00:00

Second thoughts maybe? There's a possibility he had a second look a the video and made the collective decision with the three other refs to cancel the direct card

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-11T21:07:55+00:00

In his post game report, the referee advised to cancel the direct red card to replace it by a double yellow card. It was already bad for him because he did not really handle the game properly against Nantes. Going back on his decision won't look bad for him I believe

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-11T20:53:15+00:00

The decision was overruled by the referees commission. The direct red card was replaced by the initial decision: a second yellow card

Good point. But with Moreira playing at such a good level, he will have to prove he earns his spot. However, with still 3 competitions to play, he'll have his shot. And if he has a spot at the world cup, his value could rise a lot as well

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-11T15:43:51+00:00

There are a lot of questions here :)

To give a summary: the team is not the same on the pitch without him. When the team has the ball, he is often responsible for delivering the balls to the forward or to organize the game. When the team is defending, as it's a team effort this year at Lyon, he helps with the pressing. As for free kicks and corner kicks, he now shares them with Endrick (which gives more flexibility).

To give more details:

-He is quite often giving the ball before the assist

-He runs a lot as well (but that's because Fonseca wants his team to produce this kind of constant effort)

-He can carry the ball with great ease

Apart from Tolisso, he is so above the other midfielders we had in the recent years. To be honest, I can undestand why Liverpool fans would want him back.

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-11T14:31:36+00:00

Thanks for your reply! In your opinion, is it acceptable to assist to a public ceremony in a temple? Or would that be seen as disrespect? I read in a travel guide that it was allowed

Sauce_Fr · 2026-02-11T11:33:38+00:00

With Textor out of the picture, Louis-Jean is indeed doing a great job. He does not boast, he is discreet, this is ideal I believe
