'A player of his talent must do much more!' - French media rips into 'nonchalant' Mason Greenwood as Marseille forward handed brutal 3/10 rating after damaging defeat to Monaco

Marseille dropped to third in the Ligue 1 table after they suffered their fourth loss in their last five league matches on Saturday. Former Liverpool star Takumi Minamino opened the scoring for Monaco in the 34th minute before Breel Embolo doubled their lead just minutes before the hour mark. Ex-Chelsea midfielder Denis Zakaria then scored the final goal of the match in the 82nd minute from the penalty spot to complete his team's 3-0 win in front of a happy Stade Louis II crowd.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE MATCH?

Greenwood, who has impressed since joining Marseille from Manchester United last summer, had a night to forget as he lost the ball 18 times and looked rattled by Monaco's aggressive game plan.<a href="https://www.footmercato.net/a946828686921762316-as-monaco-om-les-notes-du-match" target="_blank">Foot Mercato</a> rated Greenwood's performance at just 3 out of 10 and wrote: "After a gem last week against Toulouse, the former Manchester United winger had a very (very) complicated match. Out of touch and caught out on his rare initiatives, he too often suffered from AS Monaco's intensity. Guilty of a major technical lapse, he was nevertheless very close to equalising but fell to the Monaco goalkeeper. Otherwise, he was too little involved, and he disappointed once again."<a href="https://www.lephoceen.fr/infos-om/saison/monaco-3-0-om-les-notes-des-olympiens-224611" target="_blank">Le Phoceen</a> was even more brutal in their assessment as they gave Greenwood a 2.5 and wrote: "A ghostly match for the former Mancunian, who contributed almost nothing offensively on the Louis-II pitch."<a href="https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Gros-rate-devant-le-but-erreurs-defensives-et-banc-apathique-l-inquietante-rechute-de-l-om-a-monaco/1553891" target="_blank">L'Equipe</a> also rated Greenwood at 3 out of 10 as they stated: "He hit the target with both shots, but a player of his talent must do much more. While he often hears this criticism, it doesn't seem to affect him, as his performances remain overshadowed by his nonchalance, which no flash of lightning has come to erase."

HOW DID THE FRENCH MEDIA RATE GREENWOOD'S PERFORMANCE?

The fans, too, had their say on Greenwood and Marseille's dismal show as they reacted to the club's embarrassing loss on social media.A fan with the X handle <a href="https://x.com/oinnessone1/status/1911171709610184711" target="_blank">@oinnessone1</a> wrote: "Greenwood he plays in a position where he is free to move wherever he wants, on the contrary he has the keys to the game and I still don't see how that prevents him from thinking. He always ends up doing the same thing."<a href="https://x.com/Bendu974/status/1911166603397632291" target="_blank">@Bendu974</a> added: "Get rid of [Roberto] De Zerbi and his 15-year-old lineups and Greenwood, who's been thinking elsewhere for a long time. We won't miss you!!!"<a href="https://x.com/Pastaga13500/status/1911166332399165488" target="_blank">@Pastaga13500</a> said: "Greenwood, aside from an individual feat, is a complete blank in the game."

WHAT ARE THE FANS SAYING ON SOCIAL?

The 23-year-old could leave the Ligue 1 side in the summer as he has reportedly attracted interest from Saudi Arabia, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-in-line-huge-windfall-mason-greenwood-receives-eur90m-transfer-offer-from-saudi-arabia-uncertainty-marseille-future/blt57d057cc01c78270" target="_blank">with a €90 million (£76.5m/$100m) offer now on the table</a> for the winger ahead of the summer window. For now, though he will remain focused on his duties at Marseille, with De Zerbi's side set to return to action on April 19 when they face Montpellier in another crucial Ligue 1 clash.
