Did Claude Puel do well to send Stéphane Ruffier to the cellar? In front of the last performances of Jessy Moulin in Ligue 1, Patrick Guillou doubts it.
Six games. Six consecutive games that Saint-Étienne knows nothing but loss. A black series punctuated by the setback in the derby against Lyon last weekend 2-1. After this sequence, the questions fuse. Not exempt from all reproaches, the place of Jessy Moulin is called into question. As the main guardian of ASSE since February 2020, he is showing more and more shortcomings. Despite a trompe-l’oeil start to the season, the 34-year-old goalkeeper conceded 15 goals in ten games, and his team is in fifteenth place in Ligue 1. A sad record that calls into question the choice of Claude Puel to remove Stéphane Ruffier from the Stéphane cages.

Previous ASSE coaches (Christophe Galtier, Oscar Garcia, Julien Sablé, Jean-Louis Gasset and Ghislain Printant) all recognized that Stéphane Ruffier was stronger than Jessy Moulin. During all these years, everyone was wrong except one [Claude Puel], Editor’s note? He wondered live on France Bleu.
