Auxerre was showered with goals as they hosted Rennes at home.I honestly did not expect Rennes to suffer such a heavy defeat by Auxerre.Auxerre scored 2 goals in the first half and 2 in the second half to defeat their opponent 4-0 in total.Although Rennes had more possession of the ball, it was Auxerre who attacked well.
Toulouse, on the other hand, managed to defeat Reims.I think it was not a very enjoyable match for both teams.With this defeat, Reims could not win for the 3rd week in a row.They were doing well in the league, but after 3 consecutive defeats, the points difference with the top sides started to widen.
Indeed, a shocking performance from Rennes against a team I hardly pronounce their name. There are a lot of responsibilities from the angle of incompetent Stephen to the angle of players not up to standard and of course, to the irresponsible management who get rid of of about fourteen or thereabout players and recruit ten more unknown average players. They have succeeded turning their club to a training ground that lends and sells its youngsters players. Perhaps, a new couch can give Rennes a new and applaudable performance but truth be told even a new couch would suffer with this kind of recruitment. That's the result you get when you try to make money by selling your best performing players year in year out instead of maintaining them. You definitely end up being a mediocre team when you recruit average players.
