OM drops first match

OM drops 3 points at Valenciennes losing 3-2 on a nice set piece goal late in the game. Marseilles seemed to have many offensive options but were weak at the back, the entry of Ben Arfa late in the contest did nothing to change the result, the young French international once again playing a very unimpressive match for Marseilles. The dropped points will allow Bordeaux and Lyon to put some distance between themselves and OM. Clearly OM is still trying to find their legs and more importantly get a comfort zone in the way Deschamps wants them to play.

Alas, PSG drew against Lorient in a game where they were down 1-0. With the lost opportunity last week to take the full 3 points from Lyon and another draw this week, PSG are leaving points on the table that might come back to haunt them in the chase for the title. Unlike OM, they cannot blame Europe for being a little "tired."

Oh, and Lyon just go down 1-0 to TFC on a brilliant run by Sissoko.
