Season predictions!
By: Evilo | August 5th, 2009With the season about to kick off, it’s time for the predictions…
Fighting against relegation :
Boulogne : a team with a lot of will, but lack of talent.
Grenoble : again, lack of talent is obvious.
Le Mans : lost some key players (Pele, Gervinho) yet again.
Lens : only a few game breakers up on the team.
Lorient : lost Ciani and Abriel, that’s a lot.
Montpellier : more individual talent then the other two promoted teams, but still will it be enough for L1?
Nancy : lost a few veterans leaders (Biancalani and N’Guemo for instance), a team searching for a new identity.
Valenciennes : Loss of Kambouaré will hurt.
Mid-table :
Auxerre : average team in ever sense of the word.
Monaco : too young to play a top spot, lack of offensive impact as well. Still some individual talents.
Nice : didn’t lose anything huge this offseason, but lack of offensive talent outside Rémy.
St Etienne : should be better than last year, but still some question marks all over the place.
Sochaux : loss of Erding will hurt, but the quality of play will still be there.
Top 7 :
Lille : Adding Gervinho will ease the loss of Bastos. Hazard could take this team in the top 3 though.
PSG : Some game breaking talent no doubt. Should be a tough team to beat.
Rennes : Lateral moves again this season.
Toulouse : should be tough to crack again, but still too limited to play a top 3 role.
Top 3 :
Bordeaux : basically the same team as last year.
Lyon : Lots of changes, big question marks all over the place. Still the individual talent should secure a top 3 spot.
Marseille : Great transfer period really, adding big profiles like Diawara, Mbia and Lucho has helped a lot, but adding key guys like Abriel, E. Cissé, Bocaly will also help. They only lost Ziani and the leadership of Cana. Heavy favourites in my opinion.

Hazard needs to start every game, period. Also, Jelen’s form and fitness will determine Auxerre’s place in the table (but then again, who doesn’t already know that?). I think Lens should have a comfortable return to the top flight.

Ok, Jelen is out for two months, while Licata is out as well.

you give Hazard too much credit on this blog. he’s good, really good in fact, but he isn’t the eighth wonder of the world or anything.

He is really.
You’ll soon agree with us.For instance, Lille played their first leg of Europa League last week, and they won 2-0.
Hazard created the first goal and got the assist and he scored a beauty on a solo effort on the second.
Without Hazard it’s a 0-0 draw.Posted from
