French outlet L'Equipe dished out some critical ratings of France players for their performances against Albania on Wednesday, with Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba receiving marks of just three and four out of 10, respectively.

Sport Witness shared the newspaper's ratings, which saw only three players earn more than five out of 10 despite Les Bleus winning 2-0:



Indeed, the scoreline did flatter the hosts, who netted twice in injury time through Antoine Griezmann and Dimitri Payet. The former—a second-half substitute—was given no rating, while Payet earned a six, which may have been somewhat harsh given his impressive stats in the game, per Squawka Football:



Martial started the match, but he struggled to make an impact in a disappointing performance. OptaJohan revealed the extent of his struggles, while BreatheSport offered their take on how the forward might reflect on his outing:



He was replaced by Pogba at half-time. As L'Equipe's ratings revealed, the midfielder fared little better.



The only player to earn a rating to be proud of was N'Golo Kante, who put in a typically industrious performance, continuously regaining possession for his side and distributing the ball well to boot.

Despite playing the two weaker teams in their group first, Didier Deschamps' side have struggled to convince thus far at UEFA Euro 2016.

On paper, France have arguably the best squad at the tournament, but they're not showing it in practice yet.

With Switzerland looming and the knockout stages after that, Les Bleus need to seriously improve on their first two outings.
