Marseille had some luck in their Ligue 1 opener, a 4-0 win against Strasbourg. It was 1-0 when the visitors went down to 10 men, Amine Gouiri scoring two goals in the victory.
Bruno Genesio’s side failed to take their chances in a 2-0 defeat at Monaco, ending with 65% possession and 1.41-1.72 xG.
Gouiri bagged another brace against Paris FC but the Phocaeans couldn’t take advantage, conceding a late penalty in a 3-2 loss at home. Their defence was sliced open, giving up 3.29 xG.
Genesio admitted that he and his team are concerned: "The supporters are worried? I understand it; there is even cause for concern for us... We committed way too many big errors tonight, collectively, first and foremost.”
"No one at the club is stupid; I already warned that difficult moments would await us.”
