Europa league : OM takes a lesson from Lazio

Marseille is inclined this Thursday, 3-1 at home against Lazio for the 3rd day of the phase of hens of the Europa League. The ex-defender of monaco Wallace (10th), the attacker ecuadorian Caicedo (59th) and replacing montenegrin Marusic (90th) scored for Rome. In a Stade Vélodrome deprived of his turns because of the suspension, the Lazio has only feared for a few minutes the equaliser late in the game because of a free-kick from Payet scored in the 86th.

OM has found the path of the nets too late to return to the score and carries a very poor operation to classification in this group where he now has two defeats and a draw in three days. The statistics are also damning. With four shots on goal against three for the Romans, the club phocéen took a lesson in realism today.

Strootman and Luiz Gustavo's non-existent

But the lack of efficiency is not the sole cause of this defeat. The image of the French clubs in the European cup this week, the OM has not been at the level and sustained the pace set by her opponent in this encounter. The goal from Dimitri Payet is a little bit happened against the tide of this match but Lazio has not really crumbled in the face of this reduction of the score, and even offered a nice third goal on the counter-attack.

The players of Rudi Garcia have not justified their status as a finalist of the last edition of the Europa league. It must be said that they had not encountered such an obstacle before taking on Atlético Madrid in Lyon. This evening, a lot was expected of the doublette Strootman-Luiz Gustavo, but it was made to literally eat in the middle of the field. In attack, the absence of Thauvin has, it, too is sorely felt. Finally, in defense, the permeability was again the main theme and the errors seen against Nice last weekend were confirmed this Thursday. How to imagine the shot as a result other than a defeat against Paris SG on Sunday night ?
