Bruno Génésio

I mean, there is every year some matches which you look back at and you're like, what actually happened? Because it looked like a walk in the park.

It looked like Genesio has gotten the right 11.

They were focused doing the job 4-0 up early in the second half.

And it just felt like I sat watching this match and I was just thinking, how wrong were we to doubt the players left at OM after the summer window? Then, what actually happens, there is, of course, 4-1, but then the big collapse.

I think Paisao, Abdelli from OM's side really show that they are going to be the difference against, you know, poorer Ligue 1 sides for OM.

And scoring goals as well this match, coincidence.

But then, We have to again look at these four players coming on, and even Genesio.

I mean, this match is an example of how the football world is very fast, because he gave praise to Kamisoko.

Marseille lost their defensive concentration, stopped controlling possession, and allowed panic to replace authority.

Bruno Genesio received three points, but he also received an enormous warning.

For Le Havre, the comeback demonstrated courage as well as character but more victories will not solve their situation.

They remained bottom of Ligue 1 with only 2 points.

They actually have a negative expected goal difference, which is not what you want to see if you're thinking about mounting a title challenge.

But what I want to mention as well, and it's a shame JJ is not here because it's his favorite subject, but where am I, say, in all of this? What are you doing, Bruno Genesio? How have you lost four games already? Again, on the XG table, they've got the third worst XG in the league.

After seven games, this is a disaster.

And you're talking about clubs that maybe in theory should be able to put together a squad that is strong and deep enough to actually hang with PSG over the course of an entire season, not just this awkward early stage when they're finding their feet.

I think that's a really good thing.

And while we talk about Lyon or PSG and Monaco, you've got Paris FC there and Liam Rossignol doing really, really well, while Marseille are really struggling with Bruno Genesio and the issue that they've had financially through the whole summer, the only ninth loss.

who won the Cup last season, finished second by pushing PSG, are only eight.

They've changed managers twice already.

Diomande struck again in the thirty-ninth minute, latching onto a precise through ball and sweeping his shot past the goalkeeper to put the French hosts ahead two to one and cap off an extraordinary personal moment on the European stage.

Just as Bruno Genesio's side appeared poised to carry a deserved lead into the interval, Galatasaray struck back with a devastating blow right on the stroke of halftime.

Off a swiftly executed transition, Alexey Batrakov found space on the edge of the box and swept a clinical strike into the far corner, sending the two teams into the dressing rooms locked in a breathless two to two draw.

The tactical battle swung decisively back in the visitors' favor shortly after the restart.

Angers was up 1-0.

It was another uncomfortable start for a Marseille team still attempting to build consistency under manager Bruno Genesio.

Following the Europa League defeat against Olympiacos, this could have become another difficult night.

Instead, Olympique de Marseille decided to respond.

Olympiacos remained compact, protected the central areas, and challenged Olympique de Marseille to create from wider positions.

Bruno Genesio's team advanced without consistently threatening.

Their passes around the penalty area were too slow, their movement lacked coordination, and their attacks repeatedly finished without a meaningful attempt.

Olympiacos were comfortable allowing Marseille to control harmless areas.

It's been, um, it's been maybe a little bit more open and entertaining football from them than people would've expected.

Uh, Pierre Sage can be that type of manager.

Uh, but and it, and it may not be completely by design.

I think they have had one or two problems defensively.

So not a lot going on for me.

But one team I would flag up, Steve, are Monaco, who are third favorites, um, at plus 700.

I think they've got a, a fair chance o- of going deep in this competition because, primarily because they've started the season so well under their new manager, uh, Philippe Luis, who has come in and done a really, really impressive job so far.

And, um, to me it looks like they've got the legs to have a good season all the way through.
