This means that a win against Monaco would put OM back in third.
That's a somewhat odd lineup out there if you're trying to win the match. Only 3 attacking players by my count, but then again, l'ASM have certainly been bad this season against counterattacks.
I would have rather had Akale out there than Kabore, and do the 4-2-3-1/4-4-2 thing like against Lyon (and other games). Mamadou down after a hard tackle by Monsoreau...but he's back up a bit later.
Cisse!! That was pretty nice...other than what was probably a foul. But yea, 3-2. Now don't make any stupid defensive mistakes. Please?
