The Canaries can't do it anymore! Antoine Kombouaré's players played a 7th consecutive match this Sunday evening without success, in front of more than 33,000 supporters at La Beaujoire. After conceding the opener (Maupay, 24th, 0-1), the FCN reacted well by equalizing through Kadewere (39th, 1-1), but the visitors logically took the upper hand in the second half (61st , Greenwood, 1-2). A defeat against OM which leaves defender Marcus Coco with a lot of regrets:
We should be more killer!
“A lot of disappointment, a lot of frustration since I think there was still room to take a point once again and missed a lot of chances, and as a result we come out with another defeat. It's starting to do a lot. Afterwards, I won't blame people, but it's true that in certain situations, we need to be more killer. I think we put in a lot of effort, but we don't reward ourselves. In fact, it’s a bit like the image of the match.”
Coach Antoine Kombouaré realizes that his team has just lost a 12th time in the last 15 matches at La Beaujoire:
We concede one or even two goals each time and we don't have the capacity to score!
“These are numbers that are difficult to hearbut that's it. Today, we talk about efficiency, so we lose. We still have the feeling of having good matches. We are not abandoned, but we have to be solid defensively. We concede one or even two goals each time and we don't have the ability to score. The stats are what they are, you have to keep your confidence and above all work. Because we see the matches we are playing today: we are not far away! But we are still losing points…”
In the standings, the Canaries are 14th in Ligue 1 with 10 points, the same total as Saint-Etienne, in play-off position (16th). Next meeting in Lens for the Canaries on Saturday at 7 p.m.
