Bruno Irlès : He starts Diallo to leave Mutyaba on the sidelines. It's a surprise, because the English winger hasn't been very good in the game in his last few outings. Even during his coaching, Irlès maintained confidence in Diallo. On the contrary, he tried to bring freshness to his midfield. Louveau and Trazié came out for Mutyaba and Depussay who played post for post defensively, with Mutyaba moving towards the offensive in the possession phase. Furthermore, positioning Grillot as right back was not a success. This deprived the offensive game of speed on this side. Finally, Carroll was very well taken by the opposing defense, who understood the Bordeaux game on set pieces or on crosses. The Briochin lock organized in 5-3-2 held up well by blocking the sides and the axis of the field.
Lassana Diabaté : it's a new clean sheet for the Bordeaux goalkeeper. He made the necessary saves to save his goalless goal, notably in the 48th minute. He is very focused throughout the match despite the few demands.
Cédric Yambéré : serene, calm and rarely outpaced. However, he was unable to establish any rhythm in his session during the first 45 minutes of play.
Djibril Diaw : first start in National 2, he was solid and almost scored from a corner in the 53rd with a header cleared by the goalkeeper with a save. The small flaw observed in this Yambéré-Diaw defense is its slowness on deep balls. For the rest, it's very solid.
Jean Grillot : established at the right-back position rather than in the center to free up a place for Diaw. Very strong defensively. However, this new positioning is not convincing on the offensive level, because Bai, who was gaining strength in this position, finds himself on the bench. Grillot does not provide quality in the placement on the side for overflows. He is much better in the middle. Replaced by Nathanaël Bai in the 67th. The latter brings more percussion and danger to the opposing goal, even if it lacks technical precision.
Driss Trichardt : he combined very well on the offensive level with Diallo and was for once correctly served. Likewise, he also launched the right winger well into the spaces for overflow. The Bordeaux left side was very good in this match.
Adrien Louveau : useful in the header on defensive kicks, he did not master the direction of the game with missed transmissions and movements. Replaced by Mutyaba in the 83rd minute of play for post for post. The Ugandan international plays as an attacker in possession of the ball. During the defensive phases, he came as a sentry.
-Thomas Trazié : he put little offensive conviction into his game during the first 45 minutes. He lacked determination despite some good defensive interventions. He rarely participates in offensive play. In the second period, he also let go of his position in the middle, allowing Saint-Brieuc to be dangerous (76th). Replaced by Depussay in the 77th.
Soufiane Bahassa : very mobile as usual. He has a scoring opportunity in the 34th minute, but cannot control the ball well. In the 55th minute, he hit the post from 20 meters. All he needs is the finish to reward him for his efforts.
Amadou Diallo : a real poison for the opponent on the left side. He proposed all the solutions and combined well with his partners. He did not hesitate to take the axis of the attack with a cross race. He multiplied the runs and crosses, and obtained good free kicks 20 meters from the opposing goal. This is his best match since the start of the season under the Bordeaux colors.
Yanis Merdji : transparent in the first period, he was unable to get rid of the opponent's marking. In the 57th minute on a cross from Diallo, he took the ball 6 meters from the goal with his right foot, but it was too much for the goalkeeper who made a save. It's a match without for the former resident of Ligue 2.
Andy Carroll : Attempts in bad position in this match. It was padlocked by the central Briochin axis. We remember his free kick at the end of the match, hit hard under the bar with his left foot, but the opposing goalkeeper, L'Hostis diverts his shot (88th). He also places a header on target from a corner.
