Cavani doesn't miss that one 2-1. A really good & feisty game really...

Cavani with another makes it level.

 

[redanddread]

What a boo boo by the OG Nice keeper.........Cavani ends up with an open goal to slot home Nice's 2nd. 2-2!

 

[redanddread]

Wow, almost 3 for Cavani.

Will feel like two points dropped for Nice despite the fact they'd have taken a point before the game started. They're back top at least.

Cracking game. Seriously, I hope Arsenal is looking at Wilan Cyprien.
This kid is 21 yrs old and is already the complete package in CM. He would do great to come in next season and continue to progress under Santi.

It is a good result for OGC. PSG needed to win while Nice was under no pressure.
I have to say though that AS Monaco is simply impressive and may be the favorites for the title. They are scoring for fun this season.

His defensive stats seem poor for a CM, no? How about Seri and Periera, potential players?

Lamar from Monaco seems highly rated as well. How would you rate him among the likes of Martial, Dembele, Coman, etc? Talents in France are exploding, it's insane.

Not watched nearly enough Monaco and Nice, very exiting what they're doing this season.

Seri looks very good.

You are right. They are producing a lot of great players in France.
Cyprien has a lot to learn, particularly defensively, but he is young and was still playing in Ligue 2 last season. He has a huge ceiling and he is progressing every week with Favre. He has all the tools to be great though.
I said it, a few weeks ago here, Pereira is the full back I wish Arsenal could buy to back up and take over from Nacho (he can play RB or LB). He is on loan from Porto and will likely be back to Portugal next season. Porto, seeing his progress, has put a 20 + M tag price in him.

Lemar is really talented as well. Either him or Bernardo Silva (a future crack) will leave Monaco this summer, they will cost a lot of money.
I actually rate Lemar higher than Martial or Coman. No surprise he was called to the French NT last month instead of Martial. Different player though, he is a real winger with speed, technique and bags of tricks. He is fun to watch.

PSG has raised the standard in France - it was improve or die I guess.

Indeed. PSG has been the catalyst. The Ligue has improved and will continue to do so. Monaco is really good & Nice is a nice surprise.
OM has a new owner and with manager Rudi Garcia and SD Zubizaretta, they will get better quickly. Lille is getting a new owner as well and Bielsa is rumored to go there next year.

Nice win again. Starting to pull away now.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Nice ending the weekend 4 points ahead of Monaco.

PSG looking a long way off now, Emery could be on the brink soon. Heard talk of LvG being mentioned as a successor.

Lyon beat Monaco at Monaco. Good result for them and PSG as well.

 

[Nyctophobia]

Draxler seems to have been a good purchase for PSG.

Monaco blitzing Marseille at the velodrome to go top of the league after Nice drew 0-0 with Metz.

 

[carlito'sway]

RMC just announced that Morgan Sanson will join OM after a €12m bid was accepted by Montpellier. Good pick for Marseille. Talented central midfielder.

 

[carlito'sway]

Manchester United winger Memphis Depay agrees Lyon deal . (Around € 20 M).

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Nice won earlier to go top on 49 points. Cavani has just scored a huge penalty for PSG to put them 1-0 up against rivals Monaco. Both those sides are on 48 points if it finishes like this with Monaco having the better goal difference. This could be a huge win for PSG.
