Adam White provides player ratings following OGC Nice’s 3-0 victory at Angers in Sunday afternoon in Ligue 1.
ANGERS SCO
BERNARDONI
3
Clumsy to give away the pen and palmed the ball out into a dangerous area for the third.
MANCEAU
3
Struggled with Kamara, still a little unfit perhaps. Some woeful crossing.
THOMAS
4
Slow and lumbering at the back.
TRAORE
4
A little shaky, as is often the case when Traore is below par.
DOUMBIA
5
Got forward well to produce a couple of dangerous crosses and was far more solid than Manceau on the other flank.
AMADOU
4
Unable to protect his back four consistently in the first half or cover as much ground as would have been hoped.
MANGANI
5
Neat and tidy on the ball as usual, although he is visibly aging and slowing.
FULGINI
4
Very risky blind reverse ball which led to the first Nice goal and failed to make use of the fleeting space presented in the number ten role.
CABOT
3
Easily shut down on his flank and produced some very average crossing. Hooked at half time.
BOUFAL
6
Typically frustrating at times in losing possession needlessly but often skillfully skipped passed defenders in the first half especially and worked more openings than his teammates.
DIONY
3
No threat at all, easily handled by Dante and co.
Others
Thioub – 6, Bahoken – 4, Pereira-Lage – 5, Coulibaly – 5, Cho – 5.
OGC Nice:
BENITEZ
5
Very little to do.
DANTE
6
Neat cushioned assist for the opener and was defensively solid before being forced off injured just after half time.
PELMARD
6
Important interception of a second half cross to prevent a tap in for Diony.
BAMBU
5
Solid.
LOTOMBA
5
Efficient enough on his wing without truely imposing himself.

LEES-MELOU
6
Stroked home the penalty, after his long ball forced the error, and used the ball intelligently in midfield.
SCHNEIDERLIN
5
Consistent and reliable in possession.
KAMARA
7
Woefully wasted a sizeable early chance but was a dangerous and waspish presence on his flank. His pace on the counter was key to number three.
LOPES
6
Neat take and finish for 1-0.
GOUIRI
6
A threat when given the (rare) chance to run at Angers and did well to direct the ball goalwards for the third.
REINE-ADELAIDE
3
Virtually anonymous, even if he did ‘win’ the penalty.
Others
Daniliuc – 5, Dolberg – 5, Boudaoui – 5, Atal – 5, Thuram – 5.
