Lyon could only draw a draw (1-1) in Ligue 1 on Friday evening against Nantes at Groupama Stadium.
A small point and above all a dull performance from the men of Laurent Blanc who see the European places moving away.
The Lyon coach was particularly angry with his players who created very few chances against the Canaries.

“
It's disappointing.
You have to respect the game and the gesture you have to make.
And I hate that we don't respect the game. When we make bad decisions, we are punished and that's what happened to us at the start of the match.
We had the impression that the ball was burning the feet of the players
, ”explained the former coach of Paris SG before clarifying his thoughts: “
The first period, we did everything.
We gave them the goal and equalized.
In the second half, I said to myself that by bringing in fresh players, we could do something against a very defensive Nantes formation.
I am very disappointed.
We were disappointing.

It was especially the second period that annoyed the Rhone coach at the head of a formation which points to a very disappointing 10th place while the 28th day has only just begun.
“
We played backwards in the second half.
Too many things are missing.
We are able to go up and down.
We are going to finish the season with this young workforce after the break and a few days off that I have granted for those who are not in the U23 selections, of which there are many.
It lacks players who hold the house.
We can do something in Nantes in the Coupe de France but we will have to do much better.
Alexandre Lacazette saved himself.
We have not gone far from disaster.
(…) It's a difficult season at all levels
