The 46-year-old is irked with the way Les Gones played against LOSC Lille in their 3-1 defeat in the Ligue 1 at the weekend and the boss has asked for a rapid response from the players
Lyon suffered a heavy dealt in their pursuit of the Ligue 1 crown after the 2010/2011 champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 crushed OL in the Ligue 1. The Rhone giants were far from best against Rudi Garcia’s side and Lyon boss, Remi Garde, is disappointed with the way his
players performed on the pitch.
While talking to reporters after the defeat, the Frenchman said that inexperience can’t be an excuse and his side was far from best against Lille. The boss added that he expected more from his side but it just wasn’t their day.
"The relative inexperience is an explanation. Neither the young nor the most experienced have been up to it. Nothing worked.
Garde said that he is very disappointed with the way his players performed on the pitch and they lacked the winning mentality that resulted in the poor performance. Praising their opponents, the tactician said that Lille played brilliantly against the Rhone
giants and they deserved three points
"I am disappointed with the lack of desire displayed. In terms of the game, Lille were stronger than us and deserved their victory,” said the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 player.
The boss added that he will talk to his players after some time and this kind of performance is not acceptable at all.
"Questioning is necessary for all players as members of staff. The defensiveness is often the barometer of a team," he said.
Lyon are set to face English Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur, in the Europa League and the Lyon boss feels that the defeat at the hands of Lille will not help his side against the club from London. However, Remi Garde is staying positive and is expecting
a tough physical battle against Andre Villas-Boas side.
"This is not the game that will reassure me (before Tottenham) but Thursday is another competition and another context. It will be worthy of the physical challenge that awaits us."
