Nantes 1-2 OM: the scores of the Olympians!

THE TOPS

Unstoppable! The Englishman was the main architect of the Olympian victory. He succeeded almost everything. His dribbling, his intentions, everything was positive. And it is he who offers the victory with his 7th goal in 10 matches with a clear strike from the left. When he is in these moods, he is above the rest.

Roll Geronimo 7.5

Beaten by Kadewere, the Argentinian goalkeeper nonetheless remained one of the great players in this match with two high-class saves, notably an incredible reflex on an almost point-blank shot from Mohamed in the 2nd half.

Højbjerg Pierre-Emile 7.0

The base of the midfield. He was everywhere and carried his teammates through the toughest times. He was also valuable in possession phases and in duels. Another good match from the Dane.

Maupay Neal 7.0

Another good match from the striker trained in Nice. Available, he was still able to score a goal from the surface on a cross from Rowe. In the duel with Pallois, he was able to resist and exist in the game.

Rowe Jonathan 7.0

He tries, he tries, he tries… And it ends up paying off. This evening, it was a superb assist from his bad foot that launched OM. The rest of his match was also positive, even if it could sometimes be frustrating.

SATISFYING

Merlin Quentin 6.0

A good return to the eleven for the left side, who showed his technical range, but who weighed a little less than before his injury. An hour of play where he recalled that in his position there was no debate.

brassiere Lilian Not rated

Entered in central defense during Roberto De Zerbi's second reorganization, he delivered a good half hour of play.

AVERAGE

Lirola Pol 5.5

A consistent game from the full-back who often came to offer support to Greenwood and who ultimately held off the spinning Moses Simon well.

Rabiot Adrien 5.5

We expect even more from the French international who still played an important role in controlling events this evening. He could have won the match with his right, but his shot hit Lafont's post (83rd). A decent match nonetheless.

Henrique Luis 5.0

We will remember his entry for his decisive pass (a simple shift for Greenwood in the axis). The rest will have been far too timid.

Murillo Amir 5.0

Entered at the hour mark in the left lane, then repositioned on the right, Murillo was solid in the duels, but he was not very useful in the game, to the point of annoying his coach.

Cornelius Derek Not rated

Entering the left-back position, he didn't show much before leaving on a stretcher, visibly injured in the ribs.

Rongier Valentin Not rated

Entering to finish the match, the former captain held his position in added time where Nantes tried to push.

They fall short

Balerdi Leonardo 4.5

The Argentine defender was not imperial. Sometimes, he even had a little hole, like on this counter launched by Mohamed. But in the end, he had to deal with a lot of different teammates during the game and he held on.

Kone Ishmael 4.5

A clean but lackluster performance from the Canadian. With the ball at his feet, his copy is correct, as in the defensive withdrawals, but he was unable to influence his team's play and get in tune. A disappointing third tenure.

FLOPS

Kondogbia Geoffrey 3.0

Unfortunately, he once again took on water in this central defender position which he seems to have difficulty maintaining with rigor over the entire match. Beaten by a long ball, he sends Kadewere with a clumsy header to challenge Rulli, then he is slightly absent from the marking a few moments later, on the goal of the same Kadewere. In the 2nd period, he lost a ball in the position of last defender and lost his duel with Kadewere, who did not target his attempt. It could have been expensive.

For greater readability, the Phocéen editorial team introduces you to its new grading grid:

From 0 to 3 – DISTRESSING

The player was terrible. Everything is said!

From 3.5 to 4 – FLOPS

The player missed his match, he is clearly in the flops

From 4.5 – DEADLY

The match is considered mediocre, meaning it is below average. The player was not satisfied.

From 5 to 5.5 – MEDIUM

But at this level, professionals must bring more to their team. The performance is not necessarily satisfactory…

From 6 to 6.5 – SATISFACTORY

Finally ! The match is considered good. The player played a good game, even if he could do better. He did the job as they say in the jargon.

From 7 to 8.5 – THE TOPS

Very good match. The player brought everything he could to his team and we can't ask much more of him.

From 9 to 10 – EXCEPTIONAL

Make no mistake, these notes will not be released often. They will salute an extraordinary game from one of our Olympians.
