Kamara still royal, Paqueta leads OL ... Our Tops and Flops after Marseille-Lyon

Tops

Kamara, still boss size

It is undoubtedly the most consistent Marseillais this season.

From the top of his 21 years, Boubacar Kamara was

still precious in the midfield

.

With a large volume of the game, he was the player who touched the most balls, but also the one who raked the most.

Aggressive on the man, he won a lot of duels and helped OM not to sink in this important sector of the midfield against Lyon.

Denayer, the strong man of the Lyon defense

While Marcelo was back from injury, it was his friend Jason Denayer who stole the show.

The Belgian defender spoke about his science of placement and was on all the hot spots by pushing back the danger on the many Marseille centers.

A real defense match.

Payet, better and better

He is indeed the offensive leader of OM.

Dimitri Payet still magnetized a lot of balls and managed the Marseille game well by sending some good transmissions.

Fairly mobile, he has regained his legs and influence in this team.

Milik, interesting in fixing

Recently arrived, Milik already seems at home at OM with a 2nd goal scored in 2 starts, which had not happened for a Marseillais since 2013 (Payet).

The Pole was interesting at the tip, using his template to keep the ball and bring his block up.

He forced the Lyon defense to keep their vigilance throughout the meeting, the Marseille striker knowing how to be forgotten to better spring.

Flops

Paqueta, day and night

Lucas Paqueta ended this month of February less well than he had started.

Author of 3 goals, the Brazilian was one of the most successful at OL in recent times.

Still decisive in Marseille

, with a center for scorer Toko-Ekambi, he left to continue his momentum.

Except that he caused the penalty of the Marseille equalizer on a fault of hand, although contentious, and was sent off 19 minutes from the end, leaving his partners ten against eleven.

All the paradox of the Lyon environment.

Depay, less dashing

The Dutchman spared no efforts to be useful for the Lyon collective but he was not successful.

Often putting himself in a striking position, he did not frame any of his 4 attempts and did not often make the right choices, often badly negotiating some offensive situations.

Dubois, the blow of softness

So sharp a few weeks ago, Léo Dubois seems to accuse the blow.

Perhaps less physically fresh, the French international did not climb much in his lane when there were spaces to exploit.

And when he brought his offensive scent, he missed his crosses.

The absence of a true specialist in lining could well penalize Rudi Garcia.
