Greenwood's response, Kondogbia's mistakes… The tops and flops

TOPS

We found Greenwood

His horrible performance perfectly symbolized the nightmarish evening experienced by OM against PSG last weekend (0-3). Maintained on his right wing, Mason Greenwood was able to rectify the situation, delivering a big match on the lawn of La Beaujoire. Permanent poison for Cozza and quickly dangerous, the English winger finally freed his team in the second half, scoring the winning goal for Marseille (1-2) with a well-placed low strike. His seventh achievement in ten league matches. Greenwood was particularly expected at the turn, he responded perfectly.

Rowe, the other detonator

OM had wings this Sunday. On the left, Jonathan Rowe clearly scored points. Preferred over Luis Henrique at kick-off, the 21-year-old English winger quickly gained momentum in a corridor where he provoked a lot. He didn't succeed in everything, but his incessant activity hurt the Canaries a lot. The former Norwich City player is also to be credited with a nice assist for Maupay on the opening score.

Impeccable Rulli

A good outing in front of Kadewere (35th) then a save (header) against Mohamed (64th). Geronimo Rulli was not often called upon by the Nantes attackers, but the Marseille goalkeeper did the job. As is often the case this season. His qualities of anticipation, in the air or outside the area, relieved a feverish Marseille defense, especially in the second half. He is not responsible for the equalization of the Canaries.

FLOPS

Kondogbia and suffering

Certainly, his ability to restart cleanly does OM good in the game. But once again, Geoffrey Kondogbia showed off his limits in defense. The former Monegasque, once again associated with Balerdi in the central hinge, could have cost the Marseille club dearly, with in particular two failed interventions which Kadewere was unable to take advantage of (35th, 66th). Often on the verge, and completely spectator on the Nantes equalizer at the end of the first period. Replaced at the end of the match in midfield, in a role that suits him much more.

Mohamed too messy

A great riot of energy, but a glaring lack of skill. After almost scoring an unfortunate CSC from a corner in the first period (29th), Mostafa Mohamed was unable to take advantage of Marseille's defensive generosity in the second half. The Egyptian striker first spoiled a huge counter situation (52nd), before coming up against Rulli from close range (64th), in the wake of Greenwood's goal. His second goal of the season is still awaited.
