[Football] De Zerbi offers to resign as Marseilles coach
- Thread starter Lady Whistledown
- Start date
I dunno, if you watch the extended highlights L'OM were very much in the game until the third which was a poor own goal deep inside the L'OM six yard box. PSG are probably one of the two best sides in Europe at the moment and still unbeaten across all domestic competitions this season.
They'll get 2nd, be back in the Champions League and very likely qualify for the latter stages of the competition for the first time since 2011/12 next season by the nature of the new format. Compared to the position when RDZ came in, it's obviously a successful season.

That's obscene, it's almost as much as I make a year.
Still on less than Kieran McKenna at Ipswich!
I often think about that Roma away game in a similar light. Obviously, we were exploited time and again but his refusal to change meant that we did still create chances, and good ones too:
But that's the gamble of de Zerbi's football. One week you lose 4-0 to Luton, the next you beat Palace 4-1
100% completely agree. It's high-risk, extremely high-reward, and I loved that about us under RDZ. I remember leaving Kenilworth Road slightly stunned but not overly down about the Albion despite the result (and I've spent plenty an evening despairing because we've lost a game) only to finally get some reception outside the ground to see that the whole of the Albion faithful not at the ground had gone into complete meltdown.
On the Roma game in particular, on another night Welbeck could've easily scored a brace and those 2 very tight offsides might've gone our way and we'd have got a 2-2 draw. I don't look back at that game with any huge sadness - Roma were magnificent and it felt like a monumental challenge in the ground that evening even before a ball had been kicked, the best atmosphere of all four for me.

Sends a tingle of awe and excitement down my spine everytime I think of that pre-match atmosphere at the Stadio Olimpico that night. It was sensational. A wall of noise and a sea of flags, scarves, banners and pyro. Hard to think of a better atmosphere ever (I missed Marseille but did the other three). Our lot were just getting into our stride on the vocals I thought – super loud – and then the football lesson on the pitch began.

RDZ got rplenty of blame for Roma although did he expect an experienced Dunk to play like a Sunday league player? Probably not. Dunk must still have nightmares about Lukaku.
I did all four of the away games and, whilst Marseille was louder, Roma was the better atmosphere. It genuinely surprised me how seriously everyone at Roma took the game, both in the stands and on the pitch.

Having done Roma and Marseille, I still maintain the atmosphere at the latter was absolutely off the scale.

Maybe it is coloured by the result but deffo Marseille for me - the first one, the comeback, the Marseille fans, the coaches, the noise, the interminally long post-match wait in the stadium and the glorious memory of the mopman Joel Veltman experience!

I've no doubt had I gone to Marseille I would say the same.
It looked incredible on TV and mates who did go say without hesitation it was THE best atmos ever.
Really annoyed I chose to not to go to it (could have easily gone) BUT I did do the other three which I feel incredibly lucky to have experienced. Also, I maintain that if I had gone to Marseille, then I would have talked myself out of doing Athens... and that 4 day mini-break, mad adventure in Athens with my boy, seeing us qualify was quite simply one of the best trips of my life. Let's hope we do it again!
