Andy Carroll still essential
The 35-year-old English striker, Andy Carroll, broke the deadlock in the 3rd minute of play. Well served by Merdji, he curled his shot with first intention which lobbed the goalkeeper from a distance of 20 meters. This will be the only achievement of this meeting. In the 36th minute, he escaped to the edge of offside to score against the goalkeeper, but the referee whistled for an unclear offside position. Finally, he delivers a caviar for Bahassa by heading back (55th), but the latter, alone 6 meters from the goal, misses the inevitable.
Fortunately, Andy Carrol has confidence in this team. He has become essential with in 6 matches: 7 goals scored and an assist given.
Lack of effectiveness of the attackers: Amadou Diallo is in trouble
We have in mind the failure of Soufiane Bahassa who cannot benefit from a caviar from Carroll in the 55th, but the biggest offensive failure of this match undoubtedly goes to Amadou Diallo. Well launched in depth, the pocket winger presents himself alone against the opposing goalkeeper at the height of 20 meters. He procrastinates and attempts a lob by choosing the wrong front of the foot, and with a poorly oriented body. As a result, we witness a missed lobbed shot which does not go towards the goal (76th). Twice Bordeaux failed to make the break.
For the rest of the match, Diallo is in great difficulty, because he does not feel the game, and the intervals. Additionally, he never really engages in defensive duels and rarely goes into contact. Today, he still has the confidence of Bruno Irlès, but that might not last if he continues to disappoint. Karim or Noc could be solutions on the right, by moving Bahassa back to the left side.
Adrien Louveau in central defense is very solid
Aligned for the first time this season in central defense alongside Jean Grillot, northerner Adrien Louveau demonstrated ease, calm and solidity. He took no risks and framed the opposing attackers. He could be lined up again in this position against Saint-Malo on November 23, because Jean Grillot will be suspended. Indeed, the player trained at Girondins received a third yellow card and will miss the clash with the leader. Be careful, Louveau received a new yellow card, his 4th since the start of the season.
Lassana Diabaté at the rendezvous
This is the 4th clean sheet in 9 matches for the Marine et Blanc against Le Poiré. In his cages, Lassana Diabaté made the necessary save in the 18th minute of the match. He diverts a powerful shot from 20 meters which was going to lodge under the bar. He is serene and fair in his interventions. At 21, he shows maturity, even in the absence of a goalkeeper coach for a week. Bordeaux is the best defense in N2 after 9 matches played and 7 goals conceded. Only Saint-Malo and Les Herbiers do as well in this sector of play.
Thomas Trazié: we expect more
If he accompanied the Bordeaux attacks a little more in this part, the 25-year-old Ivorian central midfielder remains too timid in recovery. In addition, he was often outpaced in his defensive replacement and in duels. Additionally, he seems hesitant to set foot, or his body. He must reach a new level to be at the physical level of the N2 championship. He needs to gain momentum.
