• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Mason Greenwood and Co are in the midst of a hotly contested Champions League qualification race in Ligue 1. Saturday's defeat saw De Zerbi's side fall to third. Just three points separate Monaco in second and Strasbourg in sixth, with Lyon and Lille also pushing for a spot in Europe's top competition. Marseille have lost four of their last five league games.

• WHAT DUGARRY AND PERQUIS SAID

  Dugarry said: "The first half hour was a purge. They have twisted feet. Give back the salary, give back the money. Go buy yourselves some feet."

  Perquis added: "In terms of results, Olympique de Marseille are behind. We also need to know whether the coach still has his squad with him or not. And on this point, I think De Zerbi doesn't, unlike Lyon and Lille."
