Andre Ayew plays down Marseille crisis

Andre Ayew says that Marseille are not in a crisis and are determined to beat Saint-Etienne on Tuesday night.

Marseille winger Andre Ayew has rubbished talk that his side are undergoing a crisis.

Les Phoceens were poor in front of goal on Saturday as they slumped to a 0-0 draw at Bastia, which made it four games without a win for the Southern outfit.

Despite not tasting victory in a month, Ayew believes that labelling Marseille's recent run a crisis is nonsense.

"We are confident, we know that the goals will come. We've scored in every match except for [Saturday]," Ayew told the press. "We can be more decisive but you have to know that sometimes in a match, if you can't win, you also have to know not to lose.

"Against Bastia, we felt it would be difficult to score. We were able to manage the difficult moments, something we weren't able to do against Arsenal.

"Points at home are especially important. The defeat against Monaco [three weeks ago] hurt us."

Marseille host Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 on Tuesday night.
