This season, their stand-out attacking players have been Nuno Da Costa (1), Gaetan Charbonnier (1), and Julian Jeanvier (1). Jean-Marc Furlan will know the risks of constantly leaking goals throughout the season, with seven goals conceded so far. He needs to find a way to shore-up the defence, in order that opponents are unable to take advantage of this.
