Once again sterile and cruelly lacking in efficiency to get rid of a low block, LOSC logically came up against Auxerre despite its numerical superiority (0-0) this Friday. From 3 to 6, discover our ratings after this match counting for the 17th day of Ligue 1.
Satisfaction
And to think that LOSC, despite its numerical superiority, could have left Abbé-Deschamps empty-handed… Impregnable in its goals, Lucas Chevalier (6) extinguished the Auxerre fires, infernal in rapid attack. If he was not in great demand (3 saves), his saves were decisive. First, he intervenes well in front of Paul Joly on the first real Icaunaise opportunity (25′). Above all, he relaxes at full length to deflect Gaëtan Perrin’s beautiful shot, before intervening again a few moments later (71′). Powerless but blameless.
They blew hot and cold
Hakon Haraldsson (5) experienced a contrasting match. On the one hand, the left winger in the evening contributed – particularly in the first half – with his knowledge of placement between the lines and his activity in recovery, and he was in all the contentious situations of LOSC – he obtained a penalty (53′) after having already been close to one before (48′) and before being able to claim another (59′). On the other hand, the Icelander missed a face-to-face that he will perhaps ruminate on for a long time (64′) and, apart from the potential penalty situations in which he is involved, he has gradually faded away . Not really revived by its repositioning in the heart of the game during the last quarter of an hour.
For its first appearance of the year, Ayyoub Bouaddi (5) alternated between the good and the less good. The most offensive midfielder in the trident he made up with Benjamin André and André Gomes, the 17-year-old midfielder was a particle accelerator at times, making his team’s game more fluid with his clairvoyance, his passing quality and his speed. execution, in addition to some defensive slaughter. But his performance still remains inconsistent, and he went through long moments without really impacting the match. Which is not illogical given his very young age. He is the first midfielder released by Bruno Genesio (68′), while André Gomes (4) seemed to have died down for several minutes after another rather ordinary performance.
The disappointments
The fleeting boost could well turn into a deeper crisis. As surprising as it may seem, the thirtieth penalty of Jonathan David (3) in the LOSC jersey did not end up in the back of the net (59′). If “Iceman”, an exercise specialist, stumbled upon an inspired and leaping Théo De Percin, he nonetheless marked the occasion. Including in his overall performances, where the Canadian seems to be losing influence in his team’s play, is found less and less in a striking position and less and less successful in front of the goals. This Friday evening, he only touched 34 balls, the lowest total for a Lille player. No doubt he is paying for the infernal sequence to which he has been exposed since August, after a high-flying first part of the season.
If he had shone as a right winger against Nantes, Remy Cabella (4) reminded Auxerre why he felt more comfortable on the left or in the center. Very uninspired and too often predictable, he rarely faced the swift Gideon Mensah on his left side and made too few differences, illustrating the sterility of LOSC against the solid block of Auxerre. He regularly procrastinated in the zone of truth. Like this situation where, after a splendid pass from Hakon Haraldsson, he finds himself surprised to be in such a good striking position and, due to lack of anticipation, lacks speed in his execution. As a symbol of his match. Replaced by Mohamed Bayo (84′), back on the field with LOSC.
