Given our current form it’s incredible that we could bring home a win. A draw would not have been undeserved. Classic Rennes shit though, we were playing some good football up front before totally collapsing in defense under our own fears and lack of experience/confidence (granted the penalty was dubious at best but still, it’s always pretty stupid mistakes). That defense really needs to get its shit together.
I’m fairly confident we’ll end up as dominant up front as we used to be in a few months once Blas/Le Fée really settle and Terrier gets back into shape.
