The game: A real poster
Opportunities galore, the pace of the game to a key: the Nice-Marseille was a treat. Les Aiglons, boosted by a Koziello-Mendy duo still at ease, remained true to their principles of play. In the absence of Ben Arfa, Puel had decided to place Bodmer in support of plea and Germain. The former Lille is not a dragster. It keeps, however, a touch of delicious ball. OM have finally found the binder in the movie offensive in the wake of an untenable Cabella. If they have accused the blow when Nice set foot on the ball in the hour, Marseille have generally had the mastery of events.

players: Koziello was everywhere, Batshuayi too spoiled
At 20, Vincent Koziello already has boss tunes. This Sunday, he maddened the middle by Marseille’s business, and calls his vision of the game. It was he who offered the equalizer on a plate for Valere Germain. A goal which recognizes the work of the Riviera center forward. If responsibility is clearly engaged on the opening goal of Isla, Yoan Cardinale multiplied rescues Nice to keep in the game. Without his reflexes, the party was bent before the break.
Michy Batshuayi, he has created four clear chances but did not materialize one. His clumsiness leaden Marseille evening. At his side, Georges-Nkoudou Kevin pulls the tongue and creates fewer differences. In midfield, Lassana Diarra spared no efforts. As often this season, he held the middle on his shoulders and gave the tempo of OM.
What could change everything: If Batshuayi had not stumbled on the shin Cardinale
After endless injury time of the first period, Michy Batshuayi looks alone against Cardinale flowing into his feet. If the center forward Om pique his ball, Marseille takes off and puts quite a blow behind the head Nice just before the break. But the shin Cardinale rejects the attempt of the Belgian and the Eaglets remain in the game.

The stat: 0/15
Michy Batshuayi has converted any of his last 15 shots. In 2016, he has scored a goal in Caen (1-3) and Marseille have scored more than one goal in a game only once in L1 since the 17th day .
The tweet that says something about the season Niçoise
“We cling, we have big games to go, we will see where we are at the middle of March to find out if you play something, but there are people in the car. “
the question: what is the main victim of the draw?
Marseille, without a doubt. First, because this allows Nice to recover third place but mainly because it is the OM who had the best opportunities and floundering in mid-table (11th). Yet it is clear that OM progresses. Last Sunday against PSG (1-2) and Nice (1-1) men of Michel signed their two most successful services in 2016. But the verdict is cruel arithmetic and clear: Marseille stalled. Reactions after the game are the same as those that followed the defeat against PSG (1-2) or the draw at Lyon (1-1). “ We deserved better ” Michel repeated too often in 2016. The Marseillais out posters frustrated face the top names in recent weeks. And they have everything.
Without this critical lack of realism, they occupy a worthy place of their ambitions. Today, seven teams still separate them from the podium. Yet Marseille deserves better given the content of his matches. The reception of the ASSE next Sunday will be paramount. OM can not afford to waste the face of rivals and should begin to reap what he sows. He is left with only 12 days to reach its goal. Time is running out.
