It all comes back to The Fraudster Frank McCourt.

Half the team is in the last 6 months of their contract and someone from the board kinda said if you aint reupping you can :camby:

Marseille President Eyraud in shouting match at squad following Nîmes defeat | Get French Football News

RMC Sport report that Ligue 1 side Marseille’s President Jacques-Henri Eyraud ripped into his playing squad this morning following the club’s defeat against relegation-battling Nîmes.

Eyraud spoke to the players before training today and launch a diatribe at this charges – one player told the outlet:

“He said to us that our match was pathetic, that we were rubbish and that we were walked all over by the bottom side in Ligue 1, that we showed no desire. We have rarely seen him like that.”

The unnamed player adds: “The pres was furious. He said that we were not worthy of the shirt and that we did not respect the supporters. That if the stadium had been full we would not have been home until 03:00 in the morning.”

An anonymous member of the coaching staff added:

“Jacques-Henri calmed down at the end and explained that with the two matches in hand we were still in the fight but asked the players to look at themselves in the mirror. It is normal after what we saw yesterday.”

Eyraud finished his rant by suggesting that too many players in the squad thought too highly of themselves and that none of them were of the required level to play for a top European club and that everyone needed to be brought back down to earth. Eyraud also took this opportunity to hand the players two ultimatums.

The first one related to players whose contract was expiring – the OM president instructed all players whose deals come to an end in June to go and see manager André Villas-Boas and Sporting Director Pablo Longoria in the next 48 hours to confirm their intention of remaining professional. If these meetings do not occur, then the players will have 13 days to find a new club and quit Marseille. The second ultimatum was made to foreign players who have been told that they are under the obligation of learning the French language quickly, or else be sold in summer.

The same anonymous player added: “He said to us that he wants us to respect the shirt and that we needed to respect OM as an institution even more and that each disciplinary misdemeanour will be strongly sanctioned.”

Same. Especially with Luiz and Holding as the CBs. I'd rather Arsenal play the posession game. Cuz a ball over the top and it's over for with Bruno and Rashford out there.

Hector is short and isn't the best defender. Only thing is for it to work Pogba's gotta RUN.

Was thinking more about the space that Bellerin likes to leave. Also with Pepe on that right side not the best defensively.

Iirc Ole did use Lukaku out on the right in the FA cup vs Arsenal to good effect.
