French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[zaki12]

What we have to draw from the rumors about Mbappe's criticism, nothing at all. from my point of view, he's just frustrated with the draw against Reims. as a result, he was just looking for excuses as his failure could not score a goal in that match.
luckily Galtier gave him a defense, he said it was natural because the situation was hot.
Unfortunately for a player of Mbappe's level, he shouldn't criticize Galtier's policies on social media. he should have revealed it during a training session if it wasn't to his liking.
Mbappe is a good player and very talented, but unfortunately his attitude will give him a bad image.

yes I also agree with you Mbape is a young and talented player maybe because he is still young so his attitude is so arrogant. in my view of the draw against Reims, PSG without Messi seems very uneasy playing, minimal creation, frustrated reaction as if running out of ways to score goals. How vital is Messi's role as an individual and the psychological impact on the team. Messi is the soul of PSG.

I think this is just a misunderstanding, Galtier has explained to the media that Ramos didn't mean to insult the referee, this was just a matter of language

The decision taken by the referee looked very rushed, fortunately PSG was not defeated by Reims because they only played with 10 colors, if not then lorient would be at the top of the standings

In order to prove that Ramos insulted the referee or not, I think it is necessary to involve an expert in reading mouth movements like what happened to Materazzi and Zidane in the 2006 world cup. Galtier has taken a wise move by defending his players although it is not yet known what exactly came out of Ramos mouth. The language barrier became the right reason for Galtier to explain the case that happened to Ramos to the media crew. But Ramos red card cost PSG a lot as they failed to get full points from a team that should be very easy to beat.

You are right that one way to prove it is to ask the experts. Because if you ask them yourself, of course they will defend themselves from each side. However, if what Galtier said is true as what happened on the field, it means that the referee's decision was really too fast and made one side lose, in this case Paris Saint Germant. But on the other hand, it's difficult for the referee on the pitch because he has to make decisions.

Liverpool part is questionable to me. First of all we all know that Mbappe wants to leave for Real Madrid, that is not a news, because he talked about wanting to play for them for a very very long time. Secondly, it would be a ton of money to get him, doesn't mean that he won't be sold, but does Liverpool have that much money?

I do not remember any time Liverpool spent that much money on a single player, usually they try to get players for cheap, and play them for a very long time. Getting a player for that much money on top of having him want to leave for another team would be a very difficult situation for them, it doesn't look that much possible that much.

No one has any doubt about Marseille as they are second-best club in French League but sadly after having amazing start of this season now in last three matches they already lost five points, and now they are going to face leaders PSG which is surely the biggest challenge for them if they fail to have any positive result from this match then surely they are going to slip at fourth spot as few teams are performing good and have better results in last few matches which are giving them better spot.

Losing at home against AC Ajaccio a shocking result, and now they must have to fight back otherwise Monaco and Lens both are on positive run which can give them good challenge until end of this season.

Marseille is a competent team. I obviously do not believe that they are going to be able to beat PSG. However, they will have to give their full potential if they want to win against PSG and reclaim the top spot. They will not be able to win against PSG in my opinion. That will force them to move down the table. And it is sad but true that they brought this on themselves.

At the same time, I have to say I have no interest in watching PSG perform well in Ligue-1. Then I want them to perform well in the Champions League. The actual competition where they actually face some very strong teams. The team faces some competition in the league this season. But even after that, I believe that winning the Ligue 1 will be enough.

PSG star wants January exit, will only be allowed Liverpool move – Marca bring big transfer claim

Kylian Mbappe’s situation at PSG doesn’t seem the most peaceful right now, despite the France international agreeing to stay with the club in the summer.

He could have moved as a free agent, with many expecting him to join Real Madrid, but instead he continued with the Ligue 1 side. Even bigger wages were handed out and Mbappe was reportedly given extra power within the club.

Well many things can happen, you just have to be aware of how true these things are.

I've come here now to talk about this and seen that you've already shared the recent news about him.



Fabrizio Romano also tweeted about his situation at the team. Things have progressed even faster than I expected. Mbappe seems like he doesn't want to waste any time here as long as he continues to have problems. Real Madrid have been the biggest candidate to sign him for a long time. Maybe this is a golden opportunity for them to convince him to play for themselves. They can do this by making a big offer also as they didn't spent too much money in the previous transfer window while Barcelona were doing the opposite.

All of the team's key players have won numerous prizes, including the Champions League, thus Kylian Mbappe needs to leave that Ligue. Mbappe cannot outperform the PGS team; instead, he needs a team where he can dominate, much like Haaland is doing with Man City. Right now, Madrid is the perfect club for him since they need his pace and speed to bolster their team. He would be ideal for Madrid, therefore he shouldn't pass up this chance in January. He has stayed with PSG for a long time because of the way they constantly pressure him to stay, pretending as though the club would collapse without Mbappa. Mbappa wants to leave PSG every transfer window.  He signed a new contract with PSG the next day. witty folks

There is no player who is bigger than the club, Mbappe looks childish and always creates a commotion on the team. I don't know what he looking for so far, because PSG is a club that provides what he wants. Now, he wants to leave after signed the biggest contract which I think makes another club like Madrid have to think again to recruit him on January. He must be professional, He can not compare him with another successful player because every club has a different situation.

[Zlantann]

There's a rumor around that Mbappe is not happy with the position and role that Christophe Galtier is using him in, Mbappe has not come out to openly say this, but from some football articles and the striker's tweet he made and deleted some days ago, it is rumored that he is unhappy and he wants the coach to deploy him in a different role or position. I do not know if Mbappe is actually angry at the coach since he has not been so influential in psg's games this season except for a few of them, and he is now crying for a change. When Mbappe signed his new contract, we believe it came with some promises that has made Mbappe a strong figure in PSG, both on and off the pitch , if that be it, the coach may be getting the wrong man upset .

The PSG management has given Kylian Mbappé so many privileges that might harm the club. He is not happy because he is not scoring goals and getting all the attention he greedily needs. If he doesn't like the role he is assigned to play, let him have a personal discussion with Christophe Galtier and I am sure his request would be granted. I blame the club for treating him like a demi-god, they would have let him leave the club. Mbappe should understand that currently, he is not in the same class as Erling Haaland, hence he would not get similar respect and attention.

The match against Benfica proved that PSG is not a potential champions League winner this season. If no for the wastefulness of Benfica strikers, PSG would have lost that match. What was Mbappe's contribution? He scored a penalty and selfishness missed so many chances that would have been scored if he had released the ball. You don't force a player to remain in a team because you would never get the best from him. If he wants to leave in January, PSG should look for a replacement and let him go. Mbappe is replaceable. He is even causing disaffection among the player.

Also, if Mbappe moves clubs in January then the club that will sign him must be prepared to spend a lot of money. Indeed, it doesn't matter if the club is willing but I think Mbappe is still very childish who doesn't have a strong determination to choose to stay or leave. Because maybe there is a provocation that he gets so he decides to leave and or Mbappe looks for a club that can indeed give him the title quickly like Real Madrid, because even though PSG are already very strong in Ligue 1 but PSG still needs time if they have to win the Champions League title.

I don't think Real Madrid will be interested in signing Mbappe now. Because Mbappe is an amazing player. But he is very arrogant. And he can't get along with team players. He doesn't give enough credit to a legend like Messi's Messi. Recently I heard him criticizing coach Galtier's match strategy. If Mbappe can't change such behaviour, it doesn't seem like Real Madrid will be interested in signing Mbappe.

The path he will take seems to be smoother and wide open if he actually moves to Real Madrid. because after all, Real Madrid is the path for him to achieve his ambitions and his best achievements as a star player. and I think that's what he wants.
he wants to be recognized as the best player, high dreams make his ego difficult to stifle.

IMO, it's not a problem for Madrid to sign him, Madrid have good finances. but the question is whether Madrid still want him in the next transfer window.
one more. there is a difference between Galtier and Don Carlo, Ancelotti is a coach that the players really respect, he really matters in the dressing room. so it's not a problem for Ancelotti to overcome Mbappe's selfishness if he does move to Madrid.

I agree with you that Mbappe still has that childhood Factor in him, it could be that there was a little disagreement between him and the players, then he began to say he is no longer comfortable with PSG. I also feel for him because the media is against him anything that happens Mbappe would be blamed for having high egos.

But I do not agree with you that one thing to win the Champions League is the reason that he want to leave, that PSG is not big enough to win the Champions League. You cannot say tha, psg is big enough to win any trophy in the world is just luck. They have Neymar, Messi and mbappe and they have been doing well every year in the Champions League who knows they could be lucky this time around

What club will be ready to take him?

Real Madrid, might be not.
Liverpool as the rumor on media, I don't believe so. Liverpool is not Real Madrid and they are not ready to pay $200M to $300M for Mbappe.
Other clubs in Europe like Manchester City, might be not too. They just got Haaland in the summer and Haaland is better than Mbappe. At least, he does not create internal conflicts like Mbappe does in PSG.

I agree with you that Mbappe still has that childhood Factor in him, it could be that there was a little disagreement between him and the players, then he began to say he is no longer comfortable with PSG. I also feel for him because the media is against him anything that happens Mbappe would be blamed for having high egos.

This childish response is only harmful for career of Mbappe then it will affect general performance of PSG too. Star players have high ego that put them to train hardly and seriously. It forces these players to set up very high ambitious goals for their career. I can name, Terry, Ferdinand, Rooney, Lampard, Drogba and more, they all have high ego but they know when to show it and when they have to hide it, cooperate with other team mates to reach to general objectives of the club.

Mbappe is different, his childish and selfish behavior shows that he does not care about the club as well as his team mates. Let's see, he scored 12 goals but no assist to other players that is a good indicator for his selfishness.

But I do not agree with you that one thing to win the Champions League is the reason that he want to leave, that PSG is not big enough to win the Champions League. You cannot say tha, psg is big enough to win any trophy in the world is just luck. They have Neymar, Messi and mbappe and they have been doing well every year in the Champions League who knows they could be lucky this time around

They need best combination of Neymar, Messi and Mbappe but more than that, they must improve their defense. In many past seasons, they lost great advantages because of stupid mistakes from their defense. In Champions League, you can not win it if you have such mistakes too often.

[kro55]

The media has again reported the latest news about mbappe, I just read that mbappe criticized the tactics used by galtier against reims but galtier said it was legal. it seems that the super-large salary has made mbappe's ego peak, without messi's presence, it is clear that there is little support for mbappe, neymar will not do much to help mbappe on the front lines because neymar is also a lone striker.

For all my dislike of Neymar, I must say that you are wrong about him - he is great at passing and not as greedy as Mbappe. In Ligue 1, he currently has 8 goals and just one assist less -7.
As for Mbappe, everything happens as I expected. Mbappe understands that now everyone is talking only about Haaland and that he is the future top 1. I think Mbappe's hysteria will soon reach a new level and we will learn a lot more from him 

I know that a lot of people do not like Neymar but that's OK. The fact that Neymar has not been able to realize his true potential up until this point really saddens me. And it feels like his career is going to be over in a few years from now.

But if I say that Neymar is not performing at his highest level for PSG, that would be wrong. He is playing really well for PSG in my opinion. He has a very effective link-up with Messi. But for Mbappe, I have to say that he is performing very well. However, I cannot say that he is doing well with the team. He has a really big ego. And this is just a case of PSG spoiling this player. I am telling you, if Mbappe moves from PSG now and switches to any other club, like Real Madrid, he will not be able to adapt.

Mbappe's childlike behavior can only result in egomaniacal and self-centered behavior. There are already a lot of Madrid fans who have lost faith in him due to the controversial extension of his contract. As a result of his actions, he has only made things worse for himself. It is true that he is a talented player, but everything else appears to be a mess. Clearly, Kylian Mbappe has difficulties playing with Messi and Neymar. It is Mbappe's responsibility to realize this, otherwise he is heading towards ruining his promising career. I would like him to stay at PSG so that the story can continue.

Football is a team sport and you need team mates to play and achieve good results. It is not like tennis with which you cqn train, play and win by yourself.

Mbappe can not have best mind if he self isolates himself from other team mates. In addition, other players can isolate Mbappe too. He must change his attitude and behaviour to become more friendly with others. Else he only has one last option, leaving the club.

Really?

Neymar and Messi can play well and give key passes, assists to Mbappe but let's see. In return, what Mbappe did to satisfy Neymar and Mbappe. He does not have a single assist in this season. That stats is actually weird if we know PSG dominate Ligue 1 a lot. So i lt is easy for Mbappe to make key passes to others. It looks like Mbappe thinks other players have to serve him and that's all. Nothing in return from Mbappe for the others.

He is unstable and has no principles. The last transfer market was also a big opportunity for him after Real Madrid were serious about getting his services, but what happened? he prefers to stay because of the money and privileges he gets at Paris Saint Germain. It caused a lot of criticism and blasphemy against him for the decisions he made. Now he wants to go? I doubt any other team will be interested in the attitude he is showing at Paris Saint Germain at the moment. His ability as a player is indeed very good, but it must also be accompanied by a good attitude.

Because the transfer fee is very high, then I'm sure not many clubs can make this transfer. Mbappe is a great player, many admit but it is hard to imagine him turning into a more mature player nowadays. I can probably imagine Chelsea, Liverpool or maybe Manchester United being able to activate Mbappe's release clause in the coming seasons, but of course these teams have to balance their finances.

Real Madrid may no longer be interested in him, but who knows in a few seasons they might change their mind on Mbappe.

After Mbappe fooled both parties interested in signing him (PSG and Real Madrid) for a long time, and in the end it turned out that he was using Real Madrid offers in order to get an even better offer from PSG, does anyone still believe Mbappe? I don’t know how serious this whole situation is, but Mbappe already has a reputation for being untrustworthy, so if he uses his ostentatious "desire" to leave because of some ongoing showdown within PSG, then I don’t even know where this can lead.

This week of Ligue 1 we will have a big game between PSG and Marseille, both teams have not had an impressive performance recently especially PSG. They drew 3 times in a row (2 matches in UCL and 1 game in Ligue 1).

What are your predictions for the PSG match against Marseille later? Will we see a draw for the fourth time in a row from PSG? or Marseille will win in this match later?
