If RC Lens is still undefeated in Ligue 1, the Northerners are stalling in the standings, the fault of too many draws. Another one this weekend for Strasbourg (2-2) while the Lensois led twice in the score.
There was obviously frustration on their side after the match, the coach Will Still criticizing in particular the arbitration and the penalty awarded to the Alsatians at the hour mark: “Still no defeat yes but the draw today is super frustrating, especially for the supporters because we want to give them victories, more than what we are currently giving them. The parking lot was still full, when we play at home, it’s exceptional too, it’s for them that it’s the most frustrating. Today in the content we were in total control, we scored two real goals but for the moment it’s frustrating because we are not rewarded for the work, for the quality of play that we offer. We were greatly bothered by the refereeing today, because if there is a fault in the action of the penalty, I dare to hope that there will be a lot of penalties given in Ligue 1 this season. (…) We must continue, show self-sacrifice, patience and the same quality, because if a team must win today, it is ours, we unfortunately did not do it. We will continue, we are undefeated in the second break, that’s very good but we have to transform these draws into victories and sometimes like today, we are not well helped. We have to keep pushing because at some point we will be rewarded. In the efforts we make, in the quality of play we offer, it’s great but this little thing, this detail, is missing, we will continue to look for it, to work on it. Like everyone’s investment and self-sacrifice, there will come a day when things will turn around.“
Andy Dioufwho scored his first goal of the season, wants to continue working to come back strong after the break, for Saint-Étienne: “It’s true that we continue our invincibility streak but it’s still very frustrating because we had more than enough means to win this evening. But hey, we will continue to work, it will work out. (…) It feels good to open the meter, I’ve been waiting for it for a long time, now I hope it will continue. (…) We’re going to take a breather, we’re going to have some rest and we’re going to work hard to come back strong after the break. In any case, we are confident, we know that it will work out in our favor.“
