The
defeat of Mido's Marseille at the hands of Bordeaux
yesterday had many negative effects on the Egyptian
and his teammates. Domestically, the away loss added
to the misery of Mido and his teammates as it sent them
another step away from the league title as they were
pushed back to the third place after Monaco and Lyon.
On the European level, the defeat will hurt the players'
morale ahead of their crucial away CL clash with the
Portuguese giants, FC Porto next Tuesday.
Third away defeat for L'OM in a row!
Third away defeat in a row:
Last Saturday's defeat for L'OM at the
hands of Bordeaux is their third consecutive away defeat.
The Olympians are currently suffering from the away
form crisis. They only win at home but things get quite
different when they play outside the Velodrome.
Lyon clinched 2nd spot from L'OM:
The defeat of Marseille pushed them back
to the 3rd spot in the table. They were sharing the
first spot with Monaco before the match with 24 points.
However, their loss together with the winning of both
Monaco and Lyon relegated them to the 3rd place.
No Drogba, No Christanval
against Lyon:
Another negative effect for last Saturday
defeat; both L'OM top scorer Didier Drogba and the defender
Christanval will be unavailable
for the upcoming important league match between Marseille
and Lyon next week end. Both players received the red
card against Bordeaux and will be suspended for a couple
of games. The Egyptian star Mido will surely get a better
chance to impress in the upcoming two games as he will
likely play as target man and will hopefully get back
to scoring ways.
Morale down ahead of Porto clash:
Mido and Marseille will have a crucial
away encounter in the CL against Porto. They already
lost the home encounter by two goals to three and a
victory in Portugal is crucial for them to improve their
standings in the group. A defeat will surely mean their
exit from the competition. It is worth noting that Porto
won their last game in the Portuguese league as they
defeated Nacional by one goal to nil last Friday.
Will Mido and his teammates recover quickly
and turn the tables in the group next Tuesday? Only
time will tell...
