Monaco started their disappointing games yesterday night against Nantes,a team which had only two lost games both at home and away.Nantes in fact played much better in the sense that they were much more pragmatic by scoring all the opportunities created by them while Monaco created more than 20 goal occasions only to fail scoring most of them,of course a great deal in this draw result for Nantes has their goalkeeper which saved at least 7 critical goal occasions so in this context Monaco needs to better,much better if they want to have a go for the title fight.Yesterday game though demonstrated that Monaco is not yet a consolidated team to be consistent in the title fight.
Looks like a match that offers an interesting fight, unfortunately I missed this match. it's just, like I posted before.
"The question is whether this match will end in a draw." and yes, the match ended in a draw. if at the end of last season's meeting the score was 2-2, in the first match this season's meeting ended with 3-3. referring to the statistics of the match, Manaco dominated the course of the match especially in the second half. in fact, they had 27 total shots, 10 on target, 8 big chances, 2 against the post. tactically, Manaco is much better.
Home side, as you said it looks like Nantes is playing more pragmatically. uniquely they only had 3 total shots throughout the course of the match, but every shot was on target. fortunately, Manaco was able to avoid defeat in this match. for a while, Manaco still tops the standings. well, with the results of this match showing that Manaco is not yet a consolidated team to be consistent in the title race, as you said. and yep, we agree.
