Valbuena needs to take Charge, and give Marseille fans Something to Cheer About...PLEASE






I can't remember when last I saw a team finish with ZERO points in the group stage of the Champions League. ZERO points means you could not even manage a draw at THREE attempts on your own home soil. That means that you got served SIX times. It's not acceptable, it's not good and I pick out Valbuena as the man that needs to really show up and make it uncomfortable for both Arsenal and Dortmund in their last remaining matches.





Valbuena's partner in crime is missing which means things are going to only be more difficult when the French boys head over to London. So everything must now rest on the shoulders of Valbuena. Well, with BOTH of these guys on the pitch, they still could not manage a win, so with only one of them playing...lord knows how they can get it done.
   Valbuena is a real good player, with lots of skill and the ability to manoeuvre through tight spaces due to his size. He will need to use all of that and really get mixed up right in the middle of things for Marseille. They will be playing against an Arsenal team that are slowly making the Emirates that fort it ought to be, but it starts now for Marseille. They cannot just rest their laurels on giving their all at home to Dortmund who MAY need to win that game depending on how things go against Napoli. To at least go away with something, they need to get points from BOTH games.
  The team needs to rise up and actually play with far more bite rather than the trepidation I see with them when they go forward to attack. It all starts with your best player who can set the tone for the entire team. If Valbuena demands that ball and starts beating a few Arsenal players and threads balls through to create EARLY chances, it unsettles Arsenal in their big and unhomely stadium and gives Marseille the confidence to spring up an upset against them.

ZERO POINTS CANNOT HAPPEN AND IS UNACCEPTABLE!
