It is undeniable that the departure of their mainstay in attack affected their game especially in scoring goals. But not only that, the fact that their defense is also not working well makes it easy for them to lose goals. From the 4 matches they have played, they have conceded 10 times, it means that on average they concede more than 2 goals in each match. Meanwhile they can only score 4 goals from 4 matches that have been played. and if we look at the number of their conceding, Lens is the club that has conceded the most so far.
But the attack line and defense line must be balanced so that victory can be achieved and Lens doesn't have that at the moment. They have scored few goals and conceded more and that is definitely the worst thing ever. Lens are not the same as last season, who were much more dominant in every match and now they have become like a weak team at the bottom of the standings. I think if these results continue then finishing in the top 4 of the standings is very impossible for Lens and they must immediately look for weaknesses in their squad.
However, they must improve quickly, and it is possible that if this continues their coach will be the first coach to be sacked by one of the Ligue 1 clubs in this case Lens.
That usually happens often, if a coach cannot show a good game at the beginning then he will become a victim. And now 4 games with consecutive defeats is something very bad, and I'm starting to think whether they should quickly decide to find a new coach, I think they will wait at least the next 2 to 3 games, or sooner than that.
Paris has now the attack of the France national team with Mbappe and Koloumany and this was felt yesterday night when they completely dominated the game away at Lyon home,they even scored loads of goals and showed an extremely entertaining football yesterday night,I had quite some time without seeing a Paris like that.I think it is due to the fact that Mbappe now has nowhere to move as 31 August passed and he will be playing with them until 31 December,also Koloumany is a great forwarder too.Lyon is in bad shape in this beginning of the season and yesterday Paris made them look even worse than they are,I don't think they will play for Europe this year,same as last year and it means them as a team are down as they were usual in European competition.
After the first 2 matches they could only draw, they slowly showed improvement by winning the last 2 matches, including this match. Not only winning, they also played well so this victory is something they deserve. They should have played like this from the beginning, regardless of Lyon's performance which is also not good, but they can take advantage of the momentum very well. Mbappe again showed his quality with 2 goals that he managed to score in this match.
