Weah To Go Timo: Timothy Weah Moves to Marseille (olf Juve)

Against a bunker I would choose Dest.

 

Poch has a lot of sharp tools for different problems. Adding in rotation and card and I think there will be a lot of players involved.

 

Bumping. Timo and Marseille were inter'd against P$G on Sunday. Wasn't able to watch but doesn't look good for our boy.

reports indicate De Zerbi is out at Marseille.

 

Those reports have now been confirmed.

 

Is this good or bad for Weah? I guess we WAFO!

 

Wafo is a solid choice, with plenty of experience, but patience may be required.

 

Starts:

 

OM with a Friday game, btw.

 

Weah starts! Marseille visiting Brest.

 

Can't help thinking every time I see that team name that Beavis and Butthead would have a field day.

 

Nothing more ‘murican than the bicycle endurance race (1300 km!) Parass-Brest-Parass… or something like that

 

Who’s their new manager again?

 

Habib beye. Not sure why the zebra was released. OM hovering around 4th all season. Not great but not off a cliff either.

 

I’m not sure what he did to get sacked, but I’m sure he De Zerbi.

 

There it is, in black and white!

 

Explained reasonably well here, for anyone with actual interest ...

I have passing interest in the zebra, but no interest in paying the athletic.

 

Summarizing: a turbulent rollercoaster ride from beginning to end.

"There were also mixed results in the Champions League. Before the final night of the league phase, Marseille were 19th in the table, but seemed destined for the knockout play-off phase after notable wins over Ajax and Newcastle United.

Yet there was a cruel twist to come. First, Marseille slumped to a humiliating 3-0 defeat away to Club Brugge and then Benfica, needing to beat Real Madrid by two goals to edge them out on goal difference, scored a 98th-minute goal through their goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin.

That late drama at the Estadio da Luz set off a chain of events that would ultimately result in De Zerbi’s departure two weeks later."

 

Firing coaches for when astronomically crazy things happen is a thing I guess.

 

It includes this gem (sorry for the X link)

👀 The training ground altercation between Roberto De Zerbi and Ismaël Koné (23) which led to the Canadian’s January departure from Marseille.

For a club of OM's standing, even bein in a position where that was a possible outcome marks serious underperformance. It happening due to a loss to Brugge was another factor in that..

If they were competitive in the league, they'd probably have given him a more time but they were about 10 points off top spot.

If you're as abrasive and demanding as he is, you have to deliver. He didn't

 

Potential yank on yank violence today as OL battle OM at 11:45 pst

 

Weah starts! Marseille hosting Lyon (Tessmann starting).

 

Marseille won 3-2. Weah got a 6.9 from fotmob, good for 4th worst on the team. He came off in the 84th, and someone on another thread said that he went down, came back on the field for a few minutes and then was subbed off. No word of injury.
