that’s a lot of big clubs. hope she saw what happened with aniek at chelsea and makes a different decision. she needs to go somewhere where she’s got a realistic chance for game time.

History Lesson

The Holocaust Debunked In 5 Minutes - By Fred Leuchter American Gas Chamber Expert

[redwineconversation]

I'm scared about the future and I want to talk to you (Lyon roster thoughts)

Look at me branching out from using Taylor Swift lyrics. Everyone is capable of growth.

Or are they? Not if we look at Lyon's roster as of today, and it's something I want to talk about.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I positively hate the argument "we need to give the academy kids a chance so we can see what they can do." No, we don't. It's not up to Lyon to give academy players a chance, not if they want to be a competitive UWCL team. The two cannot go together. You cannot be both a development club and a UWCL contender. I can drop the bar even more - you cannot be both a development club and a title contender.

Titles are won by experience. They are won because players have been there before and they know how to win, they know how to deal with pressure and expectations and everything that comes along with playing in a high-stakes game. Those very same high-stake games are won by players who already know what it takes to win. They know because they have been there before.

Academy kids have not.

It's just such a weak - and borderline offensive - argument to say, well they've showed what they can do in training, they should be able to get some game minutes because of that. Why? If an academy player "shows interesting things" in training, what is to say they should play in a competitive game and be a difference maker? We've already had this conversation, we already know what happens when academy kids are put in a high stakes game with actual consequences, and the answer is Lyon loses the game.

In order to be the best you have to be able to compete, and academy kids just aren't on the level yet. Now, could they be in the future, maybe. Sure. But it's not up to Lyon to find out if an academy kid can or cannot make it, not if they want to win titles. As I said, you cannot be both a development club and a title contender. If you accuse me of being too harsh - go on, find me a team who has won the UWCL with a focus academy players. Find me a team who wins their league by putting an emphasis on academy players.

The lack of competitive recruitment is genuinely concerning to me. It's borderline a professional foul to have let a player like Leuchter gone to PSG. Losing Cascarino to the San Diego Wave is understandable because of Cascarino being on the record of always wanting to play overseas, losing Mbock to PSG and pretending that Sylla, arguably the most injury prone player bar Christen Press, is a suitable replacement is not.

Lyon is one injury crisis away of being forced to play in a back three because of Carpenter having no genuine competition/rotation at RB, Renard and Gilles' covers being Sylla and Sombath, and Bacha being mentally on a different team and/or Svava being, well, Svava. How that doesn't give more people sleep paralysis is beyond me. If we thought September - December 2022 was bad, that makeshift back line of 2022 will seem elite compared to a worse case scenario with the current team.

The midfield is also a genuine cause for concern. Marozsan is still with the team for reasons no one quite understands. Van de Donk for all intent and purposes is most likely gone in 2025. That brief hour when there were rumors of Majri going to Inter Milan was the best hour of my life, the rumor being shut down was the worst emotional crash I've had in a long time. Mendy is an academy kid. Horan is coming off arguably her worse season. Dabritz, when fit, is an incredible player, the issue is she is injury prone. Damaris has yet to play an entire season without being injured.

And I don't care what the Twitter fan girls say, Benyahia is not Lyon's savior. Did she have a good season with Le Havre? Yes, she did. But again I cannot for the life of me understand why people are so eager to pretend that Le Havre was not in a relegation battle for probably 80 percent of the season. Saving a team from relegation does not automatically transform you into the Savior of Lyon's Midfield.

"Oh but we need to give her a chance to see what she can do!" Do we though? I understand the state of Lyon's midfield is dire - I think any real Lyon fan can and should admit that - but that does not automatically mean she should saunter into a starting lineup. Lyon is not (yet?) Le Havre. The standards and expectations are not the same. One good season in a relegation battle team does not, or at least should not, translate into an automatic starter position.

The attack isn't much better. We don't know when we will get Hegerberg back. Chawinga has to learn an entirely new system. Diani's head space is a work in progress. My stance on Vicki Becho is well documented by now. Le Sommer has talent but not speed. We need younger talent in front line, we needed a player like Leuchter and instead let her go to a direct rival. Liana Joseph might have talent but we are back to where we started: Lyon cannot afford to be both a development team and a UWCL contender.

if Michele Kang wants Lyon to succeed, she needs to put an actual emphasis on recruiting top players. But in order to do so, she also needs to remember Lyon exists.

Right now Lyon is in a crisis with a mediocre coach who seems content on coasting with players he doesn't know what to do with. Not that it really matters, anyway - Lyon doesn't even have a home stadium yet, so maybe fans won't even be forced to witness a catastrophic self-implosion anyway.
