PSG, however, has won 6 matches in a row and scored 18 points. They are 5 and 6 points ahead of the second and third teams in the points table. Still, I would say I didn't like their game. PSG now has one of the strongest squads in the world. I don't think there are any other clubs with so many star players like PSG. Even then they now display defensive gameplay. Defensive play should not be done despite having a strong midfield and strong forward. The team can not adapt to Messi. In the matches in which Messi has performed, PSG's performance has been worse than in previous matches.

But PSG still difficult to get win on every match, last match faced with Lyon they need waiting almost 90 minutes to celebrate and get three points after Mauro Icardi make last goal for PSG. I think with many star player PSG have easy to win on every match, trio Messi, Neymar and Mbappe exactly have make many goal on every match but still not get touch so far, Messi pass two match without created one goal so far and very bad beginning for him.

If Messi uses a professional approach to business, then no matter how great he is (or no matter how great he thinks he is), he should respect the coach and even more so not to bring disagreements to the public. Plus, I'm sure that now, in terms of the strength of the game, he is definitely not the top-1 in PSG, so there is no point in arguing with the coach, the best way to prove something is to play well.

I think in that match messi played quite well and was able to create lots of chances , but unfortunately some golden opportunities couldn't be converted into goals so they were just wasted, I was also surprised by messi exit in the 76th minute, but I think the coach knows better what the team needed at that time so that messi shouldn't have to protest against Pochettino's decision, after all, after the match was finished, Pochettino had revealed the reason for messi substitution was to protect him from possible injury because in fact messi had not fully adapted to the French league style of play.

As far as I remember, during the whole match he had only two really good chances, not many. By the way, I watch the matches of the French championship very rarely and did not notice any special style of play there, is it really the same tough game there as in England or Italy? It seemed to me that there is a pretty comfortable game for technical players and especially from top teams.

Messi may not be happy about his situation, but Pochettino is just scared of his injury. Whenever Pochettino chooses to substitute players in the interest of the team, he has every right to do it. Messi should settle in with a new team and a new style. The coach made a good decision if he thinks someone else might be better at this or if he is changing tactics to win the match. In the 76th minute, Messi was replaced, and his reaction was not bad. I'm just glad Messi played well and the coach is not scared to sub him.

Now messi has to realize that if he is no longer at Barcelona, ​​where he has a lot of influence on a team and even he seems to have control over the coach who coached Barcelona back then, I think messi should be able to get out of the  he is safe zone and acts like any other PSG professional at the moment and Pochettino should make a decision that prioritizes winning the team, even if he had to take the risk of bringing out the best player like Messi in a game.

Messii reaction and conduct is unprofessional after being substituted, he is not used to that kind of decision because of he is highly influencial in Barcelona, pochi did the right thing afterall PSG eventually won the match that means the tactical changes made by the manager in replacing Messi for hikimi was very effective because Messi was not having any impact in the match again, infact French local media had criticized him for his unprofessional conduct after being replaced, although there is much pressure on him to deliver as soon as possible for PSG

If there's one thing that can derail the PSG super-team this season, it's failing to integrate Messi into the team. It may not matter much if they implode in the French league, they have very few challengers there... but they can't afford disharmony when they come up against the top teams in the Champions League.

PSG have managed to maintain a 100% winning record in their first six Ligue 1 matches and get a perfect score so far, in the match against lyon, PSG controlled the ball with the individual quality of their players and it proved they had the ball almost 55% in the match, however Lyon play who are more defensive make it difficult for PSG to penetrate the Lyon defense, moreover the solid duo of Boateng and Jason Denayer in Lyon defense makes the PSG striker a frustrated including  messi .

PSG didn't have their best performance against Lyon because Messi still hasn't adapted to the team. If I'm not wrong, it was only his second game in the starting eleven. Messi already knew that he would need to adapt to a totally different game plan here. He is trying but it will take some time. When he is bad, the team is also affected in the same way. Lyon would have got one point in this game and it wouldn't be surprising. But Icardi saved the team.

When you want to win or want to steal points against a strong team that has some great players like PSG then you have to have a solid defense and a fast forward to counterattack. Defending and counter-attacking are the most common strategies used by any coach when they are playing against top team.

Because PSG have a style of play that dominate ball possession, sometimes they will find it difficult to create chance and score goals if the opposing players manage to defend well throughout the game. This can be a distinct advantage for a team like Lyon and other team in Ligue 1. But even though Lyon managed to maintain a level score throughout the second half, when the match entered injury time PSG were lucky to score the winning goal.

Even though PSG has star-studded players, and has the best players in the world, and it can be said that PSG is the only club that has many of the most expensive players, such as Messi, Naymar, Mbape, Donaroma, Dimaria, but they are not able to compete in the highest competition, they only become king in his own club, but can't be king in europe,, if this year psg can't win champion champion, i think they are in vain to buy players with star labels..

Monaco have a home match against St. Etienne tomorrow evening. They still have a terrible form now but St. Etienne are also no different than them. This can be seen as a golden opportunity for Monaco to get their second win in this season. Monaco drew with their opponent by 2-2 in the last season here but I hope to see them winning this time. It is really sad to see them like this now. They were far better in the last season as they ended as the 3rd.

In my opinion, in the last few years PSG have continued to dominate the championship in Ligue 1, so even without Messi all this time, PSG is still the king who has ruled Ligue 1 so far, I agree as you said, of course it is a big loss if PSG can't get it champions league trophy this season, because the main goal of PSG owners collecting star players in their club is to achieve the trophy they have always dreamed of and of course PSG fans also want to see their team get the champion league trophy for the first time this season.

[Cafex]

PSG continue to win their league matches one by one even though the deadly trio is not ready yet because of Messi's adaptation problems. But it is totally normal of course. Because there are not many strong clubs in this league to put up a really good fight against a team like PSG. I think that PSG will win the league title by a huge gap. Teams like Monaco, Lille and Lyon are struggling this season. Marseille can be the second at the end of the season as they are doing quite good lately.

PSG's ball possession against Lyon was 54%. It’s not too much. Moreover, PSG has not attacked much. Lyon and PSG have attacked almost equally. Even with such a strong squad, I am at least not satisfied with PSG's poor performance. With such a performance, they will not be able to go to the next round of the Champions League.

We had a great game yesterday: PSG 2 -1 Lyon. PSG were being favored against Lyon of course. We watched the Messi - Neymar - Mbappe trio in this game too. This time, Mbappe was the centre-forward and Neymar was the left winger again. But Messi didn't play as a winger. We watched him right behind Mbappe like the old times as he was playing in that position at Barcelona. But unfortunately, Messi didn't make any assist or score a goal. And he was not happy to be replaced by Hakimi in the 76th minute. PSG still managed to win this by Icardi's goal in the last minutes.

No player is thrilled with a substitution, especially the likes of Messi, but that doesn't mean disrespect for the coach. He has done the same with Guardiola and Enrique in the past. This attitude can have a negative impact on the atmosphere in the team, and I wouldn't be surprised if the coach gets fired at the end of the season.

I don't know if this attitude can cause Pochettino to get sacked. But Messi was already performing poorly before being replaced by another player. So I didn't understand Messi's attitude against Pochettino actually. He still isn't accustomed to PSG's game plan so he is struggling a lot. After playing with a totally different system for so many years at Barcelona, it won't be easy for him to fit the team either.

Although PSG has heavy-weight players, the market is gradually turning bad for them. Moreover, Lionel Messi is expected to miss his next game against Metz on Wednesday because of his knee injury. He will recover quickly, so I wish him speedy recovery. Let's wait and see what happens at the end of the season, it's just the beginning of the season.

I didn't know that he got an injury. I hope that he recovers quickly. Apart from that, Lionel Messi is still in the adaptation phase and it is only the start of the season. In the coming games, I expect him to get better after playing many matches in the future. I don't want to believe that he will do nearly nothing at this team until the end of the season. Maybe he had his career at only one team so far but it is Messi we are talking about in the end.

Although the substitution of Messi has created a lot of debates and rumours, but it won't cause anything big in the future. Because PSG has won the match. He missed some easy opportunity to score in the match. Messi need to play few more matches to build up a perfect combination with PSG players.

You are saying they are getting results in a difficult fashion but the result is the same, they got 18 points in 6 games without losing any points. Sure some of them were harder and some of them were easier, and sure they will lose points eventually and will not finish with full wins (assumption of course).

However, that doesn't change the fact that they built a team that is young and very talented and could go for long years if they can keep Mbappe. It looks like they may lose him next season, if he wanted to stay then they would have signed a contract with him already but he keeps on rejecting meaning he will be gone for sure. But they are marvelous right now, incredible.

In Ligue 1 of the French championship, they have no equal, it is a fact, and if they become champions and win the cup it will not surprise anyone and it will be unnecessary for anyone if PSG does not win the Champions League. Even if they win the Champions League, people will talk, - of course with such a line-up, you can win. ) But in fact, the team's play is not impressive, and Messi does not fit into the team, maybe it's too early and he needs time? But the same Ronaldo started to score from the first match and does it all the time.

I think PSG don't really realise what squad they've got and how terrifying they could be to other teams. This is the sort of attitude they took to the UCL and ended up drawing the game between them @PSG and Club Brugge. Not like I'm under rating Club Brugge but, in  what wprld would you have expected a draw to come off that game, looking at the squad PSG have got! It was really Shocking!!

I suppose that's the same kind of attitude they are taking to the League 1, not entirely sure of the damage they are capable of and as such, they employ some defensive strategy in there games. They need to watch Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga a little more.
