OL came up against Auxerre this Sunday in Ligue 1 at Groupama Stadium. Pierre Sage's choices are debated within the Rhone community.
Olympique Lyonnais stalled this weekend in Ligue 1 by conceding a damaging draw against Auxerre at home. The road still looks long for Pierre Sage and his squad, who must manage several competitions this season. The Lyon coach has a very good reputation in the Rhône, even if some of his choices are not understood. Facing Auxerre, he decided to carry out a large squad review. Corentin Tolisso, Alexandre Lacazette or even Rayan Cherki were not lined up at kick-off for OL. And we can't say that the replacements impressed, apart from Georges Mikautadze, who scored twice. Moreover, for Sidney Govou, the Georgian's progress will cause a headache for Pierre Sage.
Mikautadze and Lacazette, Pierre Sage will have to decide
During a column for Progressthe consultant has in fact given his opinion on the subject, hoping that Pierre Sage manages to find the right formula for his attack. “Mikautadze’s tenure is positive. His double will do him good. Now, what about his competition with Lacazette. These are the problems of the rich, but between a captain lacking success and his potential replacement who scores two goals, the coach will be forced to question himself for the following matches…”, notably indicated Sidney Govou, who wants a rapid reaction from Les Gones in Ligue 1, otherwise he will fall behind in the rankings. Because although improvements have been seen for quite a few months, the results do not yet live up to expectations. What's more after an attractive summer transfer window on paper with large resources spent.
