The stone that the builders refuse
Great equalizer from Cavani. PSG deserved that for the Neymar sending off which was a joke. Ironically Cavani dives to win the freekick...

It's complex.

I mentioned a couple of pages back but there was too much upheaval. The turnover was huge. It's already difficult enough to adapt to Bielsa's demands without having to deal with chemistry issues. To make matters worse, a lot of the players which were brought in were young and inexperienced.

At Marseille and Athletic he had a core of players who had played together with one another for a period before he had arrived, making it easier for him to implement his playing style on the group.

The scale of change is uncharacteristic though. For the most part, he's willing to use the players available to him, including the academy players at his disposal. Even if the players were less than ideal, he's somehow found a way to make it work. Suppose it's to do with the footballing project Lille embarked on.

OGC Nice have been pretty disappointing and inconsistent this season as well.

There is only one solution.
Sack the Argentinian fraud and give it Giggsy till the end of the season.

Lots of goals this week end in France. 5 for PSG and OM and 6 for Monaco. Hopefully the St Etienne-OL derby will be exciting as well. In the meantime, the OM fans have a clear messsage for Evra.

Fekir did the Messi celebration and it started a riot :lol:

Such an iconic celebration tbh, top 3 celebrations of all time(doing it after scoring an overtime winner in el clasico just makes it more epic)

An other extraordinary result at St Etienne, OL leading 5-0 there. Match interrupted after the 5th goal by Fekir, at the 84 th minute, his provocative celebration and the subsequent pitch invasion by some enraged St Etienne fans.
Lyon looks good though with a Fekir back in top form and and powerful trio of Depay, Mariano and Bertrand Traore upfront. All 4 scored today with 2 goals from Fekir.

Man......that was over the top though in the most heated derby in France. He really did rile up the fans. Totally uncalled for. He is the captain ffs....

He is the OL star I have been clamoring for the last few years. Top player.
Traore is a major talent as well and the youngster Aouar is one for the future. I like the fullbacks too, Tete and Marcal are solid.
