Benjamin Ngakoutou beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 28. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Abdoulaye Djimet dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Interim Coach: “We have to be better”
“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.
