Still as irregular, Olympique Lyonnais failed to find the fault against Lorient in Ligue 1 on Sunday (0-0). Blame it on the lack of realism of the Lyon attackers.
After qualifying for the semi-finals of the Coupe de France, where OL will have to challenge FC Nantes at La Beaujoire, the Rhone club wanted to continue in the league to continue dreaming of the Top 5 and European places. Except Lyon failed to beat Lorient despite countless chances with 17 shots and an Expected Goals of 2.29.

OL’s big flaw at the moment, according to Laurent Blanc.

I found a successful match but with so many chances, we will wonder how we did not win. The black point is the realization of the opportunities that we have created. That’s what’s missing in this game. You learn to be aggressive in the area to score goals. Some have it innately and others have to work on it. And I think some Lyon players have to work on this quality. It’s not enough to create chances.”launched, on OL Play, the Lyon coach, who knows that Lacazette is sorely lacking in Lyon at the moment…
