LEAGUE TABLE
PLAYER OF THE MONTH
LUCAS OCAMPOS
It’s been another very good month for the Argentine winger scoring another brilliant 6 goals including a second hat trick of the season this time against Troyes. Unfortunately for Ocampos, the teams performances in the latter end of the month weren’t up to scratch and his fantastic individual performances were in vein as Marseille slipped to two successive Ligue 1 defeats.
MANAGER'S THOUGHTS

A month of mixed fortunes. We started really well with the victories over Stade de Reims and over Troyes and to score 7 goals in those two games was very pleasing. It would have been two clean sheets as well if Diego hadn’t scored a wonder goal, and we did extremely well defensively over those two games as well as offensively. Against Monaco, it was a game of really bad defensive errors for both sides and to lose was extremely frustrating and unfortunately we weren’t up to scratch and its cost us and now Monaco have the chance to go on and take top spot if they win their games in hands, but for us to then lose to Lorient was just down right poor. We’ve lost important ground in the race for the title now because Monaco will move clear now if they win their two games in hands. As for the Champions League game against Manchester City, at the start of the campaign, a point against Man City would have been massive. But for us to be 2-0 up and to throw that away was frustrating but we still have 5 points from a possible 9, where many people thought we’d have none. If we can pick up 5 points from the final three games we’ll have 10 points and be in for a very good chance of qualifying for the knockout stages.
