Le Havre AC dey face serious wahala as dem don go nine matches without any victory. The team wey bin fight hard to stay for Ligue 1 last season, now dey find themselves for hot water again. With only six points clear of the relegation playoff spot, every match don become must-win.
According to Chris, a fan wey dey follow the team well well, the current form dey worry am plenty. ‘We dey finish the season like person wey dey roll free wheel,’ he yarn, showing how the team don lose momentum. The recent 4-4 draw against bottom-placed Metz still dey pain am: ‘You dey conceed four goals at home against the last team for Ligue 1? That one no make sense.’
The defense wey bin be their strong point this season don start to leak goals. Chris point out say the central pairing of Seko and Lloris dey solid, but the full-backs dey cause problem. Yanis Zouaoui, wey come from National division, dey struggle for top flight. ‘I no blame am, dem throw am into Ligue 1 without competition,’ Chris explain.
Midfield get some hope with Ndiaye, Ebonog, and Kechta wey dey control play and press well. But the attack still dey inconsistent. Mbwana Samatta don start to score again, and Chris believe say if he dey focused, he fit be dangerous. ‘When he decide to play, e sweet to watch,’ the fan add.
Yassine Kechta be the player to watch for Le Havre, according to Chris. ‘For the last matches, e dey come back strong. In midfield, you no fit miss am. But e too bad say e no dey concerned for the first seven months of the season.’
Now, Le Havre dey go face Lille away. Lille don dey hot, with 13 points from last five matches, including wins against Marseille and Lens. The match go be tough for the Normans, wey need to stop the bad run if dem want to secure safety.
