Lyon request Reds favour
Lyon request Reds favour
Les Gones chief hopes Reds will do French club a favour Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has called on Liverpool to help his club on Matchday 6 of the UEFA Champions League despite the French club being integral to the Reds' elimination from the competition. Lyon had already assured their place in the knockout stages of the Champions Leagueafter drawing and beating Rafa Benitez's side, but the Ligue 1 outfit have slipped to second in Group E after Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Fiorentina. Claude Puel's side must now beat bottom-placed Debrecen, and hope Benitez's charges overcome La Viola at Anfield, to guarantee top-spot in the group and secure a favourable draw in the last 16 stage. And Aulas is hoping the Premier League giants look to finish their campaign on a high and beat the Italians at Merseyside. "First place is important, notably because the second-leg match in the last 16 would be played at home," Aulas said. "We have the match against Debrecen remaining and we hope that at the same time Liverpool can beat Fiorentina." Defender Jean-Alain Boumsong echoed Aulas' view, and the former Newcastle and Rangers defender believes Benitez's side will want to sign off in style, despite their recent disappointment. "We must win this last game and hope for a surge of pride from Liverpool," the French centre-back told Accueil - OLWEB.fr.

I say let's just carry on playing the way we're playing and see just how badly we can lose. Lyon should have made the effort last night if they were that bothered.

Can only go off what Sky were saying because I was watching the Liverpool game myself, but they seemed to make out Lyon gave it a bloody good go yesterday. Nearly stole a draw at the end too
Don't think they'd expect anything other than for Liverpool to rest certain players, but you'd hope professional pride would kick in |

I thought Lyon had a fairly strong team out and from the sounds of it were unlucky not to score on a few occasions. No point in Liverpool or their fans getting bitter over Lyon.
It'll be a good chance to show everyone what Aqualini is about though, and a few other fringe players could do with a run out, like Babel. What's with El Zhar, does he look useful in any way possible? |

I think he's more taking the piss out of all the "Liverpool call on Lyon to do them a favour" headlines from before their game.
