Watched most of the monaco game. We all know how super they are at countering and first half was a delight to watch especially mbappes goal. Second half monaco showed their weakness in defending corners and lyon were back in. Jardim tactically subbed falcao for moutinho later in the game to hang on and to be honest they hanged on with ease which shows they can defend when needed
Its probably the third time ive seen them play but like others have said they really are explosive for first 50-60 minutes and should have been 3 up by half time. They do have one way of playing which is advantageous to us so hopefully we got this.

Juventus - Genoa 20.45
Lyon - Monaco 21.15

Your right but Lyon manager did some rotation today starting only half the team who played full 120.

Yep. Lacazette, Tolisso, Valbuena, Gonalons and Fekir all rested or injured for this one too.

Yes but todays starting XI of Lyon was so mediocre...

Lopes - Rafael, Nkoulou, M.Diakhaby, Rybus - Tousart, Ferri, Darder - Cornet, Mateta, Depay

+ jallet, mammana, ghezzal were rested too. lyon basically played with their b-team, so no wonder monaco beat them.

btw i usually watch monaco's game, as a local channel covers ligue 1 extensively. they are pretty fun to watch, their attack is unpredictable, they are always dangerous with crosses, counters and dead balls (corners, free kicks). so basically when they have the ball, it might turn into a threat anytime. no wonder only barcelona and real scored more league goals in the top5 leagues.

their defense is mediocre, though. there are blackouts in every match, they don't really cope with pressure too well, so i'm glad that the away game comes first. i'm positive we'll score at least one away goal.

5 - 0 loss for Monaco, well done.

Didn't they rest like their entire starting 9+2?

Yes, but not sure that makes it any better. Can you imagine us being willing to be destroyed 5-0 in a cup game by a direct rival?

Probably just shows the difference in mentality and stature.

 

[zizinho]

Monaco should rest players vs us too, to be fresh for the Ligue 1. otherwise they might lose it

 

[PhRoZeN]

And I hope they lose ligue 1.

 

[The Quazis]

Yeah, what a disgrace. Hope we will trash them in front of their own "crowd".

Jardim made the right decision.

Makes no sense to risk their already exhausted starting 11 in a cup game.

 

[Post Ironic]

Monaco

As I said, colossal failure if we get knocked out by these scrubs. I shall even turn on EuroMax. Sorry, @Azzurri7

 

[farfan]

Are people seriously saying Monaco should've fielded the starting 11 that have been playing non-stop in 4 competitions since august 12, in a midweek cup game sandwiched between 2 important league games and just before the CL semis?
