Dimitri Payet non-existent, Alexis Sanchez harmless … The notes of the Marseillais after their defeat against Frankfurt

Olympique de Marseille still can’t do it in the Champions League. After their initial defeat at Tottenham (2-0), the Marseillais lost again against Eintracht Frankfurt (1-0), Tuesday, September 13, at the Stade Vélodrome. Here are the ratings of OM players.

Paul Lopez: 6.5/10

Vigilant at the start of the match, the OM goalkeeper was not imperial on Jesper Lindstrøm’s goal by delaying going to bed (1-0, 43rd). He saved OM from disaster by intervening in front of the Dane (54th), Randal Kolo Muani (75th) and Daichi Kamada (81st).

Leonardo Balerdi: 4/10

Released before half an hour of play against Lille (2-1) on Saturday, the Argentine defender did not reassure against Frankfurt. His lack of confidence is flagrant and this affects his failing recovery. He is also caught up in a big German opportunity (57th).

Eric Bailly: 5/10

By his speed and power, he first fully reassured his defense. But he got drunk, like the risky and missed chest control that brought Jesper’s opener Lindstrom (1-0, 43rd). Physically affected, he made a last saving return (64th). Replaced by Mattéo Guendouzi (65th).

Sead Kolasinac: 4/10

Holder for the first time in the Champions League since 2014, the Bosnian has shown far too many technical approximations like this pass directly into touch (11th). Good in duels, his speed failed him against Randal Kolo Muani.

Jonathan Clauss: 4.5/10

The ex-Lensois was precise on his many crosses from the right side but also from the left, like the one that Leonardo Balerdi and Alexis Sanchez failed to take from the head (37th). If he forces Kevin Trapp on the parade (60th), we expect more from the French international.

Nuno Tavares: 5/10

In the first period, his speed relieved his defense while being at the origin, from his left side, of the two biggest Marseille opportunities missed by Alexis Sanchez (13th, 23rd). His influence diminished over the course of the meeting.

Valentin Rongier: 4.5/10

The comparison with his middle friend Jordan Veretout does not play in his favor. He was far too neutral in the creation. It is he who inadvertently puts the ball back in Jesper’s race Lindstrom on the only goal of the match (1-0, 43rd). It lacks the equalizer in the second period (66th). Replaced by Issa Kaboré (82nd).

Jordan Veretout: 6/10

The ex-Romain once again showed an impressive volume of play. Present in recovery and pressing, he was also valuable in his passing game before giving up after the break.

Gerson: 3/10

Like at Tottenham, he was far too quiet and clueless in the animation of the game. His tendency to perform an extra touch slowed the movement of his team. He is the author of a beautiful cross on Nuno Tavares which could have brought a goal from Alexis Sanchez (23rd). Replaced by Amine Harit (59th)who showed much more offensively in half an hour on the pitch.

Dimitri Payet: 3/10

Remaining on the bench against Tottenham, he proved Igor Tudor right by losing unusual balls for a player of his technical quality. His failed check almost turned into a decisive pass for Alexis Sanchez (13th) before he was slow to try his luck (32nd). Replaced by Cengiz Ünder (59th)very restless at the end of the match and who could have been the decisive passer if Luis Suarez had not missed his shot (70th).

Alexis Sanchez: 3.5/10

Suspended against Tottenham, the Chilean was not helped by the bad game of Gerson and Payet. Active but lonely on the front of the attack, he did not convert his two opportunities: from the right in the small net (13th) and from the tip of the foot above (23rd). Replaced by Luis Suarez (59th)who misses, alone in the six meters, a huge opportunity to equalize (70th).
