Lille V Lorient

[Muck9]

How are Lille looking? Will they win this one?

Any injuries etc?

I don't believe they have any new injuries. Fauvergue and Bastos are coming back.
Lorient is a nice team but inferior to Lille and they are not in a great period at the moment. And if you consider the very convincing victory from Lille over AEK, I can't see how they could lose at home against Lorient. But Hey, there's always some weird results in football each week (erm ...Scotland-France for example :o ), so let's not be definitive :rolleyes:
So there is interest for Lille even in Scotland? And btw what do you think about Le Guen? ... and Letizi? :D

Cheers for that.

PLG - Great manager but I think he mightve underestimated Scottish Football. He needs time like every manager to adapt to a new country so we must give him time. He needs to build a new team after last seasons performance so he must be given time. We played some good football in the early games but just couldnt take the chances. Had a few poor results but against Livorno we were very good, best game so far. We will just have to give him time.

Letizi - Hes a bit erratic. I prefer Allan McGregor to him but PLG obviously prefers the Frenchman after choosing him against Inverness and Livorno after McGregor got Player of the Month. Letizi has made a few mistakes and Im not sure if this is the normal Letizi or if hes just nervous but I would pick Allan McGregor over him.

And I personaly think a lot of people overestimate Le Guen. His successes with Lyon were more linked to Aulas' policy (Lyon's chairman), than to his work as a coach. The club was already champion, already structured... many coaches would have had the same results or even better, as we can see with Houiller.
But I wish he will succeed with the Rangers (even though, as a big part of my family is coming from Ireland, I'm more a Celtic fan :cool: ).

Normal Letizi or not, I think french keepers have difficulties with "british football". Remember Barthez or Lama. So I'm not sure Letizi will adapt himself to scottish football. And in any case it's always weird to put the Player of the month on the bench... Plus fans appreciate when the coach prefer a local player to a foreign guy (especialy when the second one doesn't seem that better).
