Ally Samatta
LEH
Takes four shots in loss
Samatta had four shots (two on target) during Saturday's 2-1 loss against Brest.
Analysis: Samatta couldn't score as he did on the previous match but was still his team's most dangerous threat throughout the contest, pacing them in shots taken while also being their only player with multiple attempts finding the target. After a disappointing debut campaign with Le Havre last year, the forward is playing much better and more games like this could definitely get him escalating the scoring chart.
Scores opener in 1-1 draw
Samatta scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Lyon.
Analysis: Samatta scored his first goal of the season as his side went on to draw 1-1 with Lyon. The former Villa striker only scored two goals last season despite starting 17 games last season. He took four shots in the game, a number that he hit three times last season.
Starts on Sunday
Samatta generated two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Monaco.
Analysis: Samatta recorded just 17 touches and managed only five passes and barely had an impact on the game and was subbed off in the 70th minute. He has struggled to register goals and only has two in over 28 appearances in the Ligue 1.
Quiet in season finale
Samatta had zero shots and made four clearances during Sunday's 2-0 win over Lorient.
Analysis: Samatta was trusted to serve as the lone forward in this crucial match but once again underperformed despite his team's dominance. The forward improved a little bit during the final stretch of his first Ligue 1 campaign, finally opening his scoring account in April, but still finished with only two goals over 27 appearances.
Scores in draw
Samatta scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-4 draw against Metz.
Analysis: Samatta only took one shot in this game but it was enough to be among the goals on Sunday. The forward is likely going to need more attempts to break through one of Ligue 1's best defenses in Lille, a team which has only conceded 34 times this season.
