Mikautadze was the best player on the field this Friday evening. “Mister George’ is determined to get Metz out of trouble, for the greatest pleasure of our eyes.
Metz had to play like a team. Kevin N'Doram, Pape Amadou Diallo and Kevin Van den Kerkhof all played intelligently. Pereira Da Costa struggled to find his place in the midfield. Franck Haise was not more inspired this evening at Saint-Symphorien. The Lensois controlled the game and were closer to scoring a second goal than conceding one. The number of balls that have flown above the cages is incalculable and shows a glaring lack of confidence in recent weeks. But football moves quickly and when we are not able to score, we are often punished. The Messins had a formidable weapon in attack and intended to use it if the opposing defensive largesse allowed it. With 17 shots for the Len sois and only 2 on target, it is too weak for a contender for Europe, especially against a team which is playing not to go down.
