Gomes underperforming for Marseille
Midfielder Angel Gomes of Olympique de Marseille has struggled to meet the expectations set by coach Bruno Genesio since the start of the season, despite being included in the starting lineup after a summer of preparation. His performances have been inconsistent, with only a few notable moments, including a standout game against Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1.Weak link in recent matches
Gomes has been considered a weak link for the team, particularly in recent matches. His lack of impact has raised concerns about his ability to contribute consistently in crucial games, especially in high-stakes competitions like the Europa League.Poor performance in Europa League match
In a recent Europa League match against Sturm Graz, Gomes did not perform well, appearing listless in the first half and losing many balls due to technical errors. His poor form led to his substitution at halftime, when Genesio replaced him with Himad Abdelli.Genesio warns team about inconsistency
After the match, Genesio issued a warning to his team about the lack of consistency and regularity in their performances. He expressed disappointment with the team's overall performance and emphasized that consistency is essential for success in football.Possible solutions for midfield issues
Solutions are beginning to emerge for the midfield role, with the return of Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and the potential of Abdelli or Amine Harit to take on more responsibility. Genesio must find a way to address Gomes' issues and improve the team's overall performance.
