French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

PSG were really unlucky last night. They actually got a lot of chances and attacked very well, but they had a big problem in scoring goals. Shots from the post show how unlucky they are. It is very sad that they did not get 3 points from this match.
But I think the team's game is much better than before. Although they did not win the match this time, it was a good match to watch

PSG didn't perform well as expected with the combination of the three best attackers in the world so far, they couldn't defeat Monaco that has been in poor form since the start of this season it's a disappointing result if you as me and I can't blame bad luck but they're sluggish and overrated and it's beginning to affect their performance. Monaco did a very good job in defending very well after scoring the early goal in the first half of the game I think they should be praised for holding PSG down and getting an away point from them despite several pressure from PSG.

It isn't a very surprising thing to me. Maybe people are surprised with PSG's drawing with Monaco because of being used to seeing PSG win most of the time. But when we examine the head-to-head games between PSG and Monaco we can see that the results are not much absurd. Because Monaco are still not a very weak team against PSG even though there is a visible difference. Messi was not good at all in this game by the way. I didn't see his contribution much and the goal they conceded came after he lost the ball as well. Mbappe could have been the hero by the way if he didn't miss a big opportunity to win the game.

There is no doubt that PSG's attack is very strong. And they proved it in the first three matches. However, their performance against Monaco was not as good as expected. Everyone was expecting to see PSG win. But PSG did not manage to score more than one goal against Monaco's defensive gameplay. And their only goal was from the penalty spot. Galtier should learn from this match. Galtier will now have to adapt his new match strategy to win against defensive gameplay. Otherwise, we will not get the expected performance from PSG in the Champions League.

PSG are incredible interms of performance and have one of the best squad in the world. No doubt, they will lift the Ligue 1 trophy with keyplayers been in the club. My favorites are Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. These trio formulates the goals and assists in the team, without them, the Parisians Boss, Christophe Glatier won't be able to win games, and will definitely find hard time in the team. They have been unbeaten this season but their last game was a draw. That's no a problem for them because I know fully that they will definitely bounced back to winning ways.

I would say they're yet to live up to their expectation , Do you know what it means to have players like world best player Lionel Messi,  Neymar, and Kylian Mbape as team mates and have the trio playing in one match, infact other clubs should be finding them very difficult to defeat.

Imagine when they start living up to expectation and you have each of them start scoring at least 1-3 goals in a match, their opponents will surely struggle and hence find it difficult to defeat them in any given match regardless.

imo galtier as usual made the best strategy for PSG, but luck was not on PSG's side, many PSG opportunities did not become goals and also the Monaco defense was quite solid in yesterday's match

I think we have to move on with the result (lose) of the PSG vs Monaco match because there are many more important matches ahead that await PSG

All three attacker have a talent but it's not just PSG who are unbeaten this earlier season, there's still Marseille and Lens which have same points. PSG last match with draw was against Monaco but Lens didn't a draw, previously this team managed to beat Monaco, one thing for sure that is a problem and I think Christophe must be able to think of a way to break through the defenses of a strong team like Monaco in next or another match.

Mbappe played selfishly from the beginning of the match and spent the attacks. No matter how talented he is his perspective on the game is terrible and his passing choices are wrong. PSG's defensive line was bad. I think Messi is isolated from the game. It was as if they had agreed not to pass the ball to Messi. Galtier was disappointing in this match. PSG's appearance is far from being a team. Messi and Neymar will save PSG.

Playing selfishly is not per se a bad thing. Messi did the same for quite some time and it was outstandingly amazing. The issue is that now three superstars need to get along and that is Neymar, Messi and Mbappe and that is quite uncommon.

Messi has proven that he is a good scorer in any case. He can be a great player without scoring the important goal. It is more interesting to see whether Mbappe can do the same and that is where I have my doubts.

PSG is good more because of the individual players, not because of teamwork.  It was obvious in that match, that's why the players are still the same as selfish even though they've been on the same team for a long time.
Mbappe repeatedly forced kicks from distance even though his teammates got empty space.  It's the same as Nuno Mendes, who dribbles, it's not clear where he is going and he has too much control over the ball, which should be passed directly to his partner

Mbappe, Neymar and Messi should be a good trio in order to bring CL trophy to Paris. Otherwise they won't get to the finals. Their chance isn't weak, they should learn to exploit the maximum of that power..
PSG upcoming games aren't that hard until facing Lyon in September, 18 so they have to avoid such bad situation by making that trio in harmony.

Monaco is not a weak team, the previous season Monaco was in the top 3, meaning that Monaco is not an easy team to beat. So as you said it
shouldn't be a surprise if Monaco managed to draw with PSG. The problem is that Monaco started this season not too well, even Monaco's previous
match was very bad. When compared to PSG who achieved amazing results in the previous 3 matches, this is what finally made some people surprised
that PSG failed to win against Monaco.

I agree Messi's performance is very bad, because Messi lost the ball, Monaco could finally take advantage of the counter-attack and score a goal.
Mbappe also played too selfishly, so in that match I didn't see the good cooperation of the 3 PSG forwards. Very different from the previous 3 matches
the collaboration of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe was very good. Hopefully Galtier learns from PSG's failure to win, and in the next match PSG can show
a better game. Moreover, PSG does rely on their 3 front players, so the three PSG forwards must be able to work well if PSG want to get back to
positive results.

you know what they say " team work makes the dream work" I think this should be thr coach's responsibility to discipline players and force his tactics on them, I've seen mainly Mbappe being selfish a lot of times, maybe they don't want to bother him so he won't leave or something, it's in his contract to play however he wants

All people surprised with PSG result draw by AS Monaco, I think many gambler choose PSG for winning but less expectation after getting draw only with AS Monaco. How ever not only with sportsbook give bigger odds for AS Monaco after last three match just get one time winning and one draw and loss. How ever when getting loss1-4 from Lens make all people believing with AS Monaco will have bad performance against with PSG. But different with reality and predicting how top performance PSG in last three games keep can't get full points against AS Monaco and the winning PSG record stopped by AS Monaco.

Many have blamed Mbappe for his recent behavior. Apart from this, the penalty incident with Neymar. if you think about it, the fault lies with the PSG club. Mbppe has the intention of moving to another club, continues to be detained by all means, give privileges. Now he's acting up, it's not entirely Mbappe's fault, it's the club's fault.

this is what will damage the team, Mbappe is a very young player and of course when he feels that he can have everything he can't control his emotions so he can't appreciate the many senior players at PSG.
this will be a tough job for Christophe Galtier because in the PSG team there are so many senior players and mega stars, to make Chemestry and suppress the emotions of these players is very difficult.

Monaco did a very good job in defending very well after scoring the early goal in the first half of the game I think they should be praised for holding PSG down and getting an away point from them despite several pressure from PSG.

It should not come as a surprise to you, it is not now that PSG disappoints its fans, and I don't always think of Neymar, Messi, Mbappe and other top players at the beginning of the French league because they are not always serious with the starting. It is towards the middle or the end of the season that you will see them becoming outstanding. The home advantage would have been there for them but the attacking was not just right. They held the ball better, but that is not what football is about, all we needed are goals. Monaco's defence was nice too, yet good dribbling might still penetrate nicely.

It also often depends on the game opener so to say. In some games they just score with the first two or three attacks and it is 3 - 0 after 30 minutes. Now against Monaco it was completely different and that is when it becomes interesting. Fighting against a situation when they are one goal down is not what they are used to. Man City for example had the same situation and they were down 2 -0, but they themselves knew that they just need a couple of minutes and some chances and could even turn around that situation.

This is where it becomes interesting when PSG is going to be down by a goal or two in the Champions League. What is their fighting spirit like in such a situation? Sure in Ligue 1 they will get over it, but in the cl as we know it can be game over. I think that is the time when we will see how much of a superstar Mbappe, Neymar and Messi are.

Their problems are likely to keep recurring if they don't realize what they need to fix. I think we will continue to see them like this, to be honest they looked better against Lille the previous game. But the disease came back in this match. I don't understand what's going on with this team, their problems seem very difficult to solve.

yes, mbappe played so selfishly his performance was not so good in the match against monaco, galtier was really very disappointing by pulling out messi and replacing him with pablo sarabia. should have galtier pulled out mbappe and that was quite a disappointment to us.
In PSG's midfield, Marco Verrati and Renato Sanches did not coordinate well. PSG tended to strengthen their defense by entering Danilo Pereira and pulling Sanches. Vitinha's absence was very influential in the match. 
speaking of monaco, they are able to show a very good defense, they have a tight defense and that makes it quite difficult for the psg players to get chances to score goals.
