MATCH DAY 1
can my youthful team hold there own in a higher league and will my new players settle in right away lets find out
Lyon Res 4 - 2 Celtic FC Res
Lenny_Pintor (Man of the Match)
Scorers : Oumar_Solet (16), Lenny_Pintor (21,64), Aidan_Barlow (25)
A_Gray
Scorers : A_Gray (42), R_MullerRinz (58)
what a fantastic scoreline for my youths especally since the away side had most of the play it was our finishing that made the difference . we took the lead after 16 minutes when 2 of my new players combined when kang found solet who threw himself at the ball and i thought there keeper had saved it but he fumbled it and it ended up in the back of the net great start for us . then 5 minutes later man of the match pintor made it 2 0 when he found himself umarked and he made no mistake to bang it home to make it now 2 0 . and it got even better 4 minutes after that when it was 3 0 this time barlow getting in on the act he showed some superb skill and hit a curler which flew into the net to now make it 3 0 and surely game over . but the away side had other ideas they pulled 1 back just before half time when grey was left unmarked and and scored in the top corner to make it 3 1 at half time . then in the 58th minute they pulled another goal back when mullerRinz was left unmarked at the back post to nod it home its now 3 2 can the away side pull level . but in the 64th minute we made sure they didnt draw level when pintor scored again this time taking advantage of a poor back pass and as the ball came down he got his head to the ball just before the keeper got to it and scored to make it 4 2 and game over . so a great start for my youthful team even though they didnt play that well i cant wait to see how they do when they do play well

MATCH DAY 2
Sunderland Res 2 - 1 Lyon Res
N_Devlin (65), Durie (89) M_Caqueret (42)
gutted to lose this especally to last minute goal as my team lost concentration and blew a 1 goal lead . we took the lead 3 minutes before half time as caqueret went on a mazy run and scored a superb goal to give us a 1 0 lead at half time . the home side drew level after 65 minutes when devlin got to the ball ahead of my defender and beat my keeper with ease to make it 1 1 . i thought we had hung on for a crucial point but the home side scored in the last minute when yet again durie was on hand to put the ball in the net to leave me and my youths devastated , but its a young team they will learn from them and hopefully it wont happen again

MATCH DAY 3
Lyon Res 2 - 1 Inter Milan Res
B_Kamara (Man of the Match) Scorers : Joachim_Ander (13), B_Kamara (31) A_Diamanti (8)
superb result from my young side and what a comeback after being 1 o down to win the game after last weeks heartbreaking defeat . we went behind after only 8 minutes when the away side was awarded a free kick which verratti laid off to diamanti who socred to make it 1 0 . but we didnt panic and in the 13th minute we drew level when my defender anderson decided to bomb forward and megged the keeper as he came out and scored a great goal . then in the 31st minute we scored what proved to be the winning goal when kamara lobbed the ball over the defender and has the ball dropped got a powerful head to the ball and scored a great goal . it would of been nice to score another goal but we managed to hang on for a great win and vital 3 points

MATCH DAY 4
Arsenal Res 3 - 2 Lyon Res
J_Willock (16), Freddy_Abu (83), T_Ince (86
B_Purrington (58), B_Gilmour (79)
A_Cole (30)
very poor performance from my youths we played against 10 men for 60 minutes leading the game with 7 minutes left and we still lost i dunno how that happened , this is the 2nd time we have let a lead slip now and we cant keep affording to do that if we want to stay in this league . if you look at the stats we had more of the game 23 shots and yet we still lose not good enough . i know the home side had a better team then us but when we create so many chances and play against 10 men and still cant win my players need to look at them selves and ask can they handle playing for this club , my team is young but they need to grow up and fast as we cant keep losing games like this

Lyon Res 1 - 2 Aston Villa Res
Houssem_Aouar (Man of the Match) Scorers : Houssem_Aouar (22) S_Bergwijn Scorers : S_Bergwijn (41,63) Sent Off : N/A another poor result and again we took the lead and threw it away to now lose 2 on the bounce . we had 32 shots most of the game yet we still lose very poor need to improve big time otherwise relegation for us .i know i have a very young squad but they need to become men now not boys if they want to survive in this league . the only good thing is they are improving in every game but maybe i need 2 bring an experienced player in to help them out

MATCH DAY 6
Chelsea Res 0 - 2 Lyon Res
T_Alexander (Man of the Match) Scorers : Houssem_Aouar (6), T_Alexander (76)
after losing the last 2 we get back to winning ways and a welcome 3 points away at chelsea . we took the lead after only 6 minutes when gilmour played a great ball into the path of aouar and as the keeper came out he dinked it over him to put us 1 0 up . we had to wait unitl the 76th minute for our 2nd goal when alexander ran forward and connected with an overhead kick to make it 2 0 and game over . so we now sit in 6th place and hopefully we can get a few more wins and stay away from the bottom of the table

Division 1 Reserves, Week 7
Lyon Reserves 0 - 1 Sao Paulo FC Reserves
Ian_Kitcher (48)
another poor result from my youths i dont know how we lost this game with these stats Lyon Res | Sao Paulo FC Res Attempts on Goal : 18 | 5 Off target : 12 | 1 On target : 6 | 4 Possession : 55 | 45
so we dominated the game and had 18 shots but only 6 on target very poor i think they need to do extra shooting practice . the 1st 20 minutes we had 5 clear cut chances but couldnt score in a brothel or even score some drugs ,and low and behold in the 2nd half we got punished for all the missed chances when the away side scored the only goal after 48 minutes . we continued to create chances after that but still miss them and the final score was 0 1 to the away side so a smash and grab result as they say .if we keep losing games like this and we will get relegated and get what we deserve cause if you cant score you dont deserve to stay up . but hopefully a much better improvement in the next game . so after this we sit in 7th place and only 3 points off the bottom of the table but only 5 points of the top of the table , but we need to improve big time in the next game and learn how to score

Division 1 Reserves, Week 8
Everton Reserves 1 - 1 Lyon Reserves
E_DjembaDjemb (Man of the Match) Scorers : D_Welbeck (6)
Lucas_Tousart Scorers : S_Gomez (81)
another hard fought point for my youths as we come from behind to get the draw . everton took the lead after only 6 minutes then i feared the worse we was going to get hammered , d welbeck showed some great skill to dribble past a couple of players and score a great goal to give us the worse possible start . then in the 21st minute we drew level when t alexander got the shot in which the keeper saved but he followed the ball and put the rebound in but no wait the red ruled the goal out i asked what for he just shrugged his shoulders and said play on not impressed must be a scouser . then 4 minutes before half time my keeper went down injured and had to go off to be replaced but my number 2 hopefully its not to bad . the 2nd half was al the home side and i thought it was going to be 1 of those days until the 9 minutes from time , tousart played a great ball into the path of gomes who hit a pearler from long range and i was delighted when it flew in to level the score at 1 1 . and thats how the score finished and we deserved that at least if you look at the stats and the amount of possession we had we need to be more clinical and some of these draws will be wins but a point away from home is a good result and my players keep improving every game we play

Lenny_Pintor (20), Lee_Kang (28,32), Amine_Gouiri (34), Aidan_Barlow (91)
B_Moore (31), T_Oluwayemi (75)
great result for my youths best performance and result of the season so far .
we took the lead after 20 minutes when pintor sprinted past there defender and hammered it home great start for us , then 8 minutes later it was 2 when kang got his to a cross and flicked it towards goal which flew in 2 0 . then after 31 minutes newcastle pulled a goal back when moore was left unmarked to make it now 2 1 . but a minute later we made it 3 1 when kang again showed some great skill then flicked the ball towards goal which went in great goal , then in the 34th minute it was 4 when pintor flicked the ball onto Amine_Gouiri who shot which the keeper saved but it hit his back and went in surely now game over . we did score again just before half time but it was ruled out so it stayed as it was at half time . the next goal was in the 75th minute when T_Oluwayemi showed some superb skill then hit a fantastic shot which flew in so the score is now 4 2 . then in injury time it was 5 when barlow got in on the act by hitting a shot on the volley which flew in and the final score was 5 2 . so we now sit in 7th place only 4 points of top spot and 7 points from the bottom so if we keep pickng up points every game i will be happy but so far things are going well .

A_Pessamunni (6)
B_Gilmour (Man of the Match) Scorers : Lenny_Pintor (2), Lucas_Tousart (19), Amine_Gouiri (29), B_Gilmour (30)
another superb result and performance 5 goals last week and 4 today my forward line is on fire at the moment . we took the lead after only 2 minutes when we was awarded a free kick which wakley laid of to pintor who hammered it home great start . but it didnt last long as the home side drew level in the 6th minute when bailey,s shot hit the post and pessamunni put the rebound it 1 1 , but then we took over . we retook the lead after 19 minutes when pintor won the ball played it across to tousart and hammered it towards goal which flew in great goal . then just before the half hour it was 3 when again from a free kick gilmour swung it in and gouiri took control of it and made it 3 1 , then 1 minute later it was 4 this time it was a superb goal from gilmour when he cut inside the defender only had to keeper to beat and did so with ease surely game over now as we go 4 1 up . and thats how it stayed as we just took it easy on the 2nd half and saw the game out . we now sit in 5th place only 3 places of top spot and doing better then i expected lets see were we can finish once the season is over but so far we are doing well

Division 1 Reserves, Week 11
Lyon Reserves 1 - 1 Real Madrid Reserves
Lee_Kang (Man of the Match) Scorers : T_Alexander (12)
Scorers : J_Vallejo (50)
another point towards staying in this league i would of prefered to win my home games but a point is better then nothing . we took the lead after 12 minutes when kang in volleyed the ball forward which found alexander who hammered a shot towards the top corner which flew in . then in the 17 minute we gave away a pen but the foul was outside the box but the pen stood so up stepped there player and my keeper saved great save . the away side drew level after 50 minutes when vallejo found some space and curled a shot towards the corner and it flew in to make it 1 1 . we couldnt get the winner so we had to settle for a point so we sit in 3rd place but its so close at the top 1 defeat i could drop all the way down to 10th , so i need to keep picking up points in every game we play .

Division 1 Reserves, Week 12
Celtic FC Reserves 1 - 1 Lyon Reserves
A_Gray (58)
B_Kamara (92) Sent Off : H_Pattan (53)
happy with a point considering we had to finish the game with 10 men . it was 0 0 until my player decided to have a moment of madness and kick there player off the ball which the linesman saw so ref had no choice red card off you go . then 5 minutes after that the home side took the lead when gray found some space and hammered it home to make it 1 0 . i thought we had lost the game but my players had other ideas and did this in injury time B_Kamara pushes it past G_Facchetti ... B_Kamara pounds a rocket on goal ! ... GOAL !!
what a time to score and glad my players didnt give up and i am very happy with the point . so we sit in 6th 4 points of to spot but also 7 points from the bottom 2 so we cant afford to let up yet and try pick up points in every game we play

Lyon Reserves 1 - 0 Sunderland Reserves
B_Gilmour (Man of the Match) Scorers : Aidan_Barlow (21)
another superb win and 3 points for my youngsters in a hard fought match . we scored the only goal after 21 minutes when gilmour played a great ball into the path of barlow who took it round the keeper and scored to put us 1 0 up . after that we tryed to get the 2nd goal but couldnt but it could of been 1 1 when the away side was awarded a pen but my keeper saved it to win the game for us as we held on for the win . so we now sit in 3rd place and we are improving every game we play so they can have a nice few days off now then get ready for the next game
