The FCN lost this Sunday at home against Le Havre (0-2), which leaves it its place in the red zone. And the worst part is that it is deserved for the Normans!
A team split in two
In the first period, it was obvious: this FCN is cut in two. On one side, the four defenders and the two defensive midfielders, Chirivella and Augusto. On the other, the four offensive players. Between the two, opponents who have every opportunity to get the ball out cleanly, to develop actions that will hurt. This happened in the 2nd minute, when Casimir opened the scoring. Nantes was on the attack, lost the ball, the Normans projected themselves quickly and, in a delay, they managed to find the fault. Let us point out that before the game, the HAC was by far the worst attack in Ligue 1, with 8 goals in 11 days. This evening, he found the fault twice, even if the second goal was rather scored by Centonze against his camp, Ngoura's shot not seeming to be on target…
Game Level Flat Encephalogram
Those who suffer the most among FC Nantes supporters are those who experienced the glory days of the Nantes game. The last great generations, those of the 1995 and 2001 titles, were a delight in terms of play. The Yellows seemed to be in excess wherever the ball went. There were calls, bright passes… Today, it's nothingness! The Canaries give the impression of having no preferential playing pattern. The deep openings end in six meters, the crosses into touch… When Moses Simon is uninspired like this evening, absolutely nothing happens. This is often seen in Ligue 1 but it was prohibited at Saupin then at Beaujoire. Times have changed, and not for the better…
Defensively, it’s feverish; offensively, catastrophic
Without play, it's difficult to make the difference up front. Abline is very active on the entire front of the attack but he is not a surface fox. He needs to be supported by a real scorer to make a difference. Antoine Kombouaré refuses to align the former Rennais with Mohamed or Guirassy. We see the result… And as if that wasn't enough, the defense cracks with each sharp action from the opponent. And yet, as we have said, Le Havre was not the most dangerous client offensively! But he still scored twice this evening, giving up his 17th place to FCN.
The constant is alarming for the Yellow House, without play, without desire, without ideas. We will have to make changes, on the bench as well as within the squad, to avoid the worst. This evening, the Beaujoire rumbled like it rarely does. Vindictive banners were displayed at kick-off and then at the start of the second half and an invasion of the pitch was contained two minutes from time, causing a suspension of proceedings. Proof that the cup is full, even for the very patient Nantes supporters…
