French Football - Season 17/18

[celestis]

I know it's kind of a one horse race again, given PSG's massive additions and Monaco's massive (some overlapping) departures, but man did Nice look good today.

I don't think it is mate , always a chance PSG will beat PSG , just seen the footage of Cavani , Neymar and Alves . Can see Neymar ending up being a real problem in the dressing room .

Neymar had no right to get vex over that penalty. Know your place.

That will be Emery's job to settle this issue. He should make it clear that Cavani is the Penalty taker and shut down all controversy.

Weird that he hasn't , think he said something to the effect they'll work it out between themselves.

The PSG vs Lyon was a scrappy game. Really unlucky for Lyon to not come out with something.
They defended well and had some decent chances on the break, hit the bar also.

I dont know why Draxler was playing last night he was really poor and until he got substituted PSG looked like they had no understanding with each.
Mbappe looks special though and showed some nice flashes last night.

Would be dereliction of duty if he does not sort it out. Good way for him to assert his authority as well.

Hopefully this will close the matter.

They will fix it. They are grown men. I did not see the game but heard very good things about the young OL CM Tanguy Ndombele. He is presented as the new Essien or Lass Diarra. Worth keeping an eye on.

His performance today...

N'dombele was really amazing, first time I saw him play and I'm really impressed, I guess they were right to hype him up in Amiens. Definitely one to follow for Arsenal.

Falcao now needs a name change to Johnny Storm. Another brace, and a 4-0 win at Lille.

What's that now, 11 goals in 7 games?

PSG held 0-0 by the millions of Montpellier

 

[BobP]

Just about everybody thought Falcao was down and out after his knee injuries.

Good on him for getting back on track.

 

[carlito'sway]

It is all lovey-dovey now at PSG. They are leading Bordeaux 3-0 after 25 min with a second goal from Cavani after a brilliant pass from Neymar.
Got to say that their front three is simply frightening for their pace, power and technique.

Draxler! What a hit, lad.

Draxler! What a hit, lad.

Worth posting..... If Draxler can step up his game, like today, and play regularly next to Neymar & Mbappe and behind Cavani, all bets are off.

really outstanding. he's in good form.

Mbappe is such a complete attacker.

Comparisons to Henry aren't that far-fetched.

Incredible performances for a guy at that age.

Actually, I see him more a Ronaldo Nazario than TH14 in Mbappe.

If there ever was a hybrid of these two then I think Mbappé is the closest to it!

And he is just 18.....Sky is the limit for him.

There is a tasty OM-PSG in less than an hour.
