Olympique de Marseille’s form has fluctuated so far this season. They began the season in style, battering Stade Brestois 5-1 away on the opening day. However, they were more wasteful the week after, being held to a draw at home to Stade de Reims.
A 3-2 win over fierce rivals Olympique Lyonnais, despite playing with 10 men from the fifth minute was a particular high point for Marseille. However, Roberto De Zerbi sought to calm talk of a title challenge post-match, stating that OM were still building and highlighting the headstart that AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain already have.
OM showed why De Zerbi was cautious just one week later, losing 1-0 away to RC Strasbourg Alsace. Still, Les Phocéens sit third in Ligue 1 and are just three points off joint league leaders PSG and Monaco. Consistency is key and that is what De Zerbi has called for in a statement that also sends out a warning to his players.
« Si les joueurs alternent entre de bonnes et de mauvaises performances, cela signifie qu’ils ne sont pas au niveau pour jouer à l’OM », a déclaré l’ancien entraîneur de Brighton et Hove Albion. Tous ses joueurs ont donc quelque chose à prouver lorsqu’ils affrontent le SCO Angers vendredi soir.
