Have yet to win a game all season and currently 2-0 down at home to Clermont Foot at half time who pre kick off were the only team below them in the table.
If this result holds Lyon will be bottom with 3 points from the first 9 games.
In the 2000s they totally dominated the French division in the manner PSG have done for the last decade. Also regulars making quarters and one SF of CL in 2010.
I assume it's the usual of bad change of ownership after Aulas sold up but they've always had a very strong youth academy so assume that's also dried up in recent times.
Their side tonight has Antony Lopes, Lovren, Lacazette all starting (Tagliafico and Tolisso are also around) so there is still experience at the club and talented young players like Cherki so they shouldn't be 3 points from first 9 games bad surely?
Interested as ever for more insight from the french based posters on here as it will be a very big relegation indeed. Not sure Fabio Grosso is a great pick for a salvage job, think they actually approached Graham Potter in August which would've been an interesting pick.
