Olympique Lyonnais Vs http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 player ratings
Remi Garde’s first biggest test in his young managerial career came when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 hosted Olympique de Marseille at the Stade Gerland in Week 6 of the 2011/2012 Ligue 1 campaign.
 Les Gones’ boss was rewarded by putting his faith in the likes of Gomis, Gonalons and Grenier as Lyon beat Marseille 2-0. Les Phoceens are now rock bottom in the Ligue 1 standings and are yet to register a win in the 2011/2012 Ligue 1 campaign.

Bettor.com takes a look at the Lyon players and rates them out of 10 on the basis of their performance in the Ligue 1 encounter.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-Lloris-c16408 (6.5)
The France international had a relatively quite night largely due to the defensive astuteness of the Lyon side. Loic Remy did test the Lyon custodian once from point blank range which Lloris was equal to.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aly-Cissokho-c5313 (6)
The young left-back formed a great partnership with Michel Bastos. Last season, Cissokho was frequently criticised for his ability to disappear in big games. However, this time the youngster proved his worth to the team and remained solid at the back and
also found time to make marauding runs to support Bastos.  
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dejan-Lovren-c10779 (7.5)
The Croatian international was a strong aerial presence for Lyon and did well to contain the threat of Loic Remy.
Kone (7)
The summer signing from Guingamp is proving to be the best signing of the summer so far. The youngster formed an excellent partnership with Lovren and his pace and physical presence made him an authoritative figure in the Lyon defence. The youngster was
impeccable throughout the game and will definitely be first choice upon the return of veteran defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cris-c9486 from injury.
Anthony Reveillere (7.5)
The 31-year-old may be a utility player for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 national side but his importance for Lyon was evident in the 2-0 win over Marseille. The former Stade Rennais man denied Loic Remy a chance to pull one back from Marseille in the second half.
Maxime Gonalons (8)
The youngster was an integral presence for Lyon in the midfield and constantly disrupted Marseille’s play in the centre of the park. In the 29th minute, his pass sent Bastos through on goal and the Brazilian gave Lyon an unassailable 2-0 lead.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kim-c20955 Kallstrom (7.5)
Blamed to be the weak link of the Lyon side last season, the Swede seems to be rejuvenated under Remi Garde. Kallstrom was everywhere for Lyon. The experienced midfielder deputised play in the midfield and formed a great partnership with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Max-c24993 Gonalons. He
was eventually replaced by Fofana in the 68th minute as Remi Garde looked to give the youngster some game time in order to experience the rigours of playing in big matches.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-Bastos-c25461 (9.5)
The Brazilian turned a nearly perfect showing for Garde. First he provided an assist for Bafetimbi Gomis to give Lyon a 1-0 lead. Later on, he received a delightful pass from Gonalons to score a goal of his own. Things are really looking bright for the Brazilian
who might have left the club this summer. Bastos could be blamed for being a bit selfish when in possession of the ball at times but who can blame him after such a great performance he gave.
Jeremy Briand (4)
Briand was definitely Lyon’s weak point of the 2-0 win over Marseille. At times, the Frenchman was very clumsy and on some occasions, one had the feeling that maybe he was trying too hard. Briand was replaced by Jeremy Pied in the 82nd minute
who did not have enough time to prove his importance in Lyon’s win.
Clement Grenier (7)
The 20-year-old midfielder is definitely one for the future for Lyon after his calm and assured performance in the midfield impressed many people watching the game from the media box in Stade Gerland. The youngster played it simple and slotted in well behind
Gomis. Replaced by Dabo in the 87th minute, the youngster has shown a lot of promise and will get stronger this season.
Bafetimbi Gomis (8)
With Lisandro Lopez out injured, Gomis has accustomed well to his new role as a lone striker. Unlike the Wednesday night against Ajax where he had a frustrating time in front of goal, Gomis enjoyed the game and scored a goal from a delightful Bastos cross.
