[J12] LOSC – Monaco: scores from Lille
The saying “never two without three” was respected by LOSC, Winner against Monaco (4-3). After a completely crazy and unbridled meeting, the Mastiffs passed their opponent of the day. Certainly feverish defensively, they held the helm and were brilliant offensively. Discover our notes of the Mastiffs after this meeting of the 12th day of Ligue 1.
The satisfactions:
Remy Cabella (8): no one needs to introduce it, it is so iconic. Knowing how to be desired, Cabella follows the balls well and is dynamic, which gives him a goal. If he could ask the question physically, his run in the left lane and the firecracker he unleashes erased all doubts. Devilishly effective in distilling his passes, the attacking midfielder delighted in all areas and did a lot of good for the collective and his attackers. Bright.
Alexander (7): Chosen at the expense of Leny Yoro to support Tiago Djalo in central defense, he performed quite well. Besides the defensive aspect, son but authoritative of the head on a service of Adam Ounas is impressive. The size of the defender combines with his authority. While the LOSC defense suffered, he was not bad in the duels and in the passes (87% successful). This tenure could be the start of a series of appearances. To monitor.
Jonathan David (7): Admittedly, he did not score this Sunday evening, but his role was key. He is the instigator of the chances of the Mastiffs in the first period before the opener. Boiling up front, the Canadian perfectly assured his duels, and especially his dribbling on the Monegasque defenders. It combines perfectly with Rémy Cabella who will then drop a strike caviar. Sometimes, a hero must know how to turn into a passer and think about the collective. What David was able to do.
The notes :
Deceptions :
Tiago Djalo (4): effective in recent games, the central defender has lost results. Clumsy, he causes a loss of ball on Ben Yedder which gives the advantage to Monaco. Behind, he is absolutely not serene in his defense, causing many opposing times. Contrary to usual, he showed no serenity in his area, defeated by numerous Monegasque attacks. The defense failed. Copy to review.
Lucas Knight (4.5): unfortunate, “the local child” did not have the ideal evening. Usually decisive, it is his badly captured ball and which generates a blunder which will mark the spirits. Hampered by defenders and André Gomes, he does not read the trajectory well, which surprises him… A few usual parades save his balance sheet somewhat, even if this moment of solitude could have cost LOSC dearly. Better days will be expected.
In short :
For his first with the armband, Jonathan Bamba (6.5) one more or less assumed his status. Enterprising from the start, his numerous ball losses and his lack of efficiency in duels do not plead for him. Nevertheless, it ends on a good note, like a symbol, with this missile under the bar.
Author of the saving free kick for the head of Alexsandro, Adam Ounas (6) one walks his usual paw. However, he did not touch enough balls to be more decisive, and his passes could be more supported (76% successful).
