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.
Well to be fair Auxerre is ahead of Rennes at the league table, so it is not a shocking that they won, maybe the four goals part could be the shocking part, but anything could happen in football, just the other week we saw Barcleona win 4-0 against Real Madrid, so seeing Auxerre to win against Rennes isn't really that shocking. The real shocking result was Monaco, who lost to Angers, and they also lost to Nice previous game as well, so that makes it two in a row for them and puts them very far away.
PSG is now leading with 6 points gap already, and they are looking like they are basically ready to lift the title already. Marseille has shown some improvements for the season and at second after this Monaco loss. I believe Lille seems to be the fourth place is the understatement of the year, because they look better than both Monaco and Marseille and just had some unlucky games, I believe they are looking like the second best team in the league right now.
