the favour of Les Gones and quite a few things went against them on the pitch.
Criticising his side’s attitude, the boss said that his player took the game very lightly for which they were punished in the end. Being at the summit requires immense focus and Lyon lacked that dearly, which has put the coach in foul mood.
"I have to say that my team didn't work as well as usual. We were a little less good in our play as it's not easy to build an understanding. There were also quite a few things which went against us during the game,” said the Frenchman.
On the other hand, Nancy coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jean-c18112 Fernandez is satisfied with his team’s performance but is of the view that had they been little luckier, Nancy could have won the game in the end.

"In our hearts we wanted to get back to winning ways and kick off a run. I was pleased with the manner of the win.”
Meanwhile, Toulouse coach, Alain Casanova feels that his side had the chance to get back in the game but they didn’t try much. It wasn’t a good performance from Les Pitchouns and the 51-year-old is not pleased with his team’s attitude.

on a bad run and the need is quickly turn things around if club’s objectives are to be achieved.
