What you must remember :
At half-time, Peter Bosz was forced to make some strong choices: taking out Lucas Paqueta, Bruno Guimarães and young Castello Lukeba.
Transparent for the first two, warned for the last, the Lyonnais had just delivered a destitute service in the first act, jostled by unleashed Angevins.
But already forced to draw at home for his first match of the season, the changes made by the OL coach were not enough.
First punished for their defensive largesse by Sofiane Boufal, scorer from the left in a closed angle (1-0, 20th), the Rhone then self-flagellated with a csc of the unfortunate Marcelo, put under pressure by the untenable Mohamed -Ali Cho (2-0, 53rd). If the defense has taken the water and the return of Jason Denayer (Covid-19) is most urgent, the environment has been transparent and in front also, the Slimani-Dembélé-Toko Ekambi trio does not seem to be enough for a team that aim for the podium. Especially in view of their non-complementarity observed today, and their imprecision (Karl Toko Ekambi next to the 45th, Islam Slimani without conviction in the 57th).
And to make matters worse, Lyon finished sinking after the exclusion of Maxwell Cornet (65th), then the nice achievement of Azzedine Ounahi (3-0, 77th) who had already found the post.
After his inaugural success in Strasbourg (0-2), the former member of the Lyon staff Gérald Baticle managed a new coup, here against his former club, thanks to a terribly ambitious 3-4-3.
And which allows him to temporarily take the lead in the Championship, with the same number of points as PSG (6) but a better goal difference (+ 5 against + 3).
For Lyon and Peter Bosz, there is work, a lot of work to make the team coherent.
And many other strong choices to make.
Thanks guys.
Thank you.
It was just beautiful.

The player: Cornet's dirty afternoon
Two yellows synonymous with a red card, gaping holes in his back, largesse on the opening of Boufal's score… Maxwell Cornet definitely lived a very complicated afternoon.
Lyon left side holder - not his usual position, and it was seen today - while waiting to see what the rookie Henrique is really worth, the 24-year-old Ivorian is desired by Burnley.
OL, who are also eyeing Layvin Kurzawa to replace him, may well have few qualms about seeing him go across the Channel.
The number: 1
Peter Bosz has 1 point after 2 1st division matches on the bench with @ OL.
Lowest total for a coach in the history of Lyon in the elite at this stage of the competition since Aimé Jacquet in February 1976 (0).

A point in two games, not necessarily the best way for Petez Bosz to start his Lyon adventure in the French Championship.
The Dutchman must remember that Sylvinho's had only lasted four months.
