French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[topbitcoin]

In the French Soccer League Toulouse vs PSG two-team match, many games were played before halftime. However, neither team could score a goal before halftime. The players of both teams tried hard to score. However, after halftime, the players of both teams scored 1 goal each. In the match  Neither team could win. After watching the PSG team play I thought maybe PSG team will play well and win the match but due to their poor performance they did not win the match they drew and shared the points.

Their finishing was poor and now their attack seems to have nothing to show for it which makes it worse.
Last season, especially at the start of the season, Neymar or Messi were always the initiators in attack who could open up space for chances and even goals. At the moment there is still no one who can really replace that role. Their schemes in attack and possession are good we can't deny that fact but it's also not very useful if their finishing is so poor.

This match PSG created 16 shots and only 3 were on target and 1 goal (penalty) which indirectly does not really reflect PSG as a strong club.

PSG got another draw when they played away against Toulouse. From the start PSG really controlled the game but they still seem not used to the new squad they have brought in this season and Luis Enrique seems to have to give his players more evaluation after this game. The only goal from PSG was scored by its star player who came on in the second half, namely Kylian Mbappe, but that advantage did not last until the game ended because 3 minutes before the normal game ended Aboukhal scored the equalizer. This is a pretty bad result for PSG in the two matches they only collected 2 points and in the next game they have to fight Lens which was one of their competitors last season, clearly the test for PSG will get tougher every week.

What I'm impressed about the match is that Mbappe's got a goal and has proved that he's still very important to the PSG team and they would had regret let him also leave alongside with Messi and Neymar, their squad seemed balance and  also have a good performance despite the draw and i believe that with time the new arrivals would get used to the team so as to start winning matches like this.
 Now my thoughts during the match were like, if Mbappe wasn't introduced in the 2nd half that means they won't had got a goal, that shows how important he is in the team therefore Luís Enrique needs to quit introducing him from the bench and include him in their starting line in their next match because I think they would had won that match if Mbappe started,  he's currently their star player and needs more playing time if they want him to deliver this season.

It can be said that there are no quality players in the PSG team at present. Mbappe and Dembele can only do great things in attack. However, the PSG team has serious problems with its midfielders and defense.

Last season PSG was also not that strong in terms of midfielders and defense so that PSG still had trouble winning a lot in the UCL even though they could still win trophies in Ligue1 because in Ligue1 there weren't many stronger teams last season. Meanwhile, this season PSG could experience even more severe difficulties in Ligue1 and in the UCL too because considering their defense is still not that strong so PSG can only rely on their front lines.

I've said this for years: PSG is like that fancy automobile that breaks down when you need it most. Last season's center and defense? It's a joke, in my opinion. No wonder they struggled in UCL. They won some Ligue 1 titles, but were there any true competitors last year? Since Messi left, they've lost their engine.

My pal is a diehard PSG fan and constantly saying this season is "their season." Ha! Can't stop rolling my eyes. Since their defense is weak, they are putting all their hopes on the front line. Think this is a poor idea?

PSG are having problems up front. in that match there were many chances, they controlled the ball. but they always failed in the final settlement. their midfield dominates, they are quite strong there. but Mbappe's absence seems to be felt by PSG's reduced strength in attack.
PSG got unsatisfactory results in their first 2 matches.

Surprisingly the second time PSG must be held to draw by the opponent, even though if you see the match takes place, PSG should be able to win the match easily. Now the front line is a big problem that must be maximized by Luis Enrique and I see many opportunities that are gained and are completely unable to be converted into goals. Mbappe entered in the 51st minute to replace Kang-In and although the PSG attack is getting firmer but the final settlement is still quite bad.

Some new PSG recruitment players have not contributed and maybe they need further adaptation to be able to carry out the strategies implemented by the coach. Dembele also has not shown its quality and I see the coach trying to place it in midfield as one who tries to manage attacks and the results are still unsatisfactory.

The attacking line of PSG looks very weak, the team played the first half without their usual leaders, and yes they created chances, but no one was able to score. In the second half, Mbappe and Dembele came out, which refreshed the game a little, but it was not enough to win this match. Two matches and two draws, Enrique not expected such a start. He need to give Mbappe and Dembele the opportunity to play from the first minutes of the match, then PSG's attack should look better.

Yes, that's right, I think it takes time for Dembele to adapt to the other players at PSG, it's not easy to adapt quickly playing in a new club as well as in a new league, I think Enrique was just a bit late to start players on the front lines like Dembele and Mbappe in the second half , if only Mbappe and Dembele had played at the start of the match maybe it would have been a different story, but this will be a lesson for Enrique in the next match in the third week.

In the two games this week we all know that PSG only got a draw and that really doesn't look good, although I know sometimes great clubs are not so good at the start of the season and can play better at the end of the season, so let's see how Dembele goes adapted quickly to be able to accompany Mbappe on the front lines and make the attack sharper as before.

In the last season as you just said PSG had good defenders and a good offensive line but still they couldn't do anything in the champions league and just like the other season they failed to achieve a title in this tournament while in the French League, they were also close to losing their place on the league to the other teams. What PSG didn't have in the last season was integrity in the team and that's why even if they buy more players they still couldn't get good results.

Tactically PSG played the match as it should, the system that Enrique implemented seemed to be what he wanted. unfortunately, they struggled in terms of scoring goals. in this fight, Enrique made another change. apparently, he is still trying to experiment with rotating some of the others. in the match against Lorient, Enrique played Assensio. in the Toulouse game, Vitinha played as a winger. I don't understand why Enrique put him on the wing. but at least, they are playing well except for Fabian Ruiz.

In the second half, Enrique just brought in his two mainstay players, namely Mbappe and Dembele. which means, there is a rotation of players carried out by the coach. overall PSG is playing quite well, it's a shame these players haven't found a strong bond yet. which in the end, the match ended in a 1-1 draw. To be honest, I'm not surprised by this result. let alone refer to the starting eleven that Enrique played. Previously I thought that Mbappe would be used in the early minutes, but the coach chose to play him in the second half. next week, PSG will host Lens. I wonder if Enrique will still be doing his experiments. it shouldn't be like that, because in terms of playing they have played pretty well. if Mbappe and Dembele have played to be the main starters. that means, PSG must win the match later when they host Lens.

I thought mbape would play perfectly against Toulouse in this very difficult game but in reality mbape's performance was not that great, I think somehow. with a 1-1 draw against Toulouse and while Toulouse is in 3rd place with 4 points, PSG is still in 8th place with 2 points which PSG coach Luis Enrique needs to improve for the next game.

PSG are having a big problem without Mbappe for now. He didn't start the game from the first minute and PSG weren't very effective in that time period. There was a statistical dominance but it is normal of course. The most important thing is to convert these attacks into goals. The second half was a little better for PSG.

But it was thanks to Mbappe of course. He entered the game and it took him only ten minutes to score a goal to get ahead. After that I was pretty confident about PSG to win. But Toulouse scored a shocking equalizer in the last minutes. It is another draw for PSG as a result. I bet on them but they were really disappointing.

Luis Enrique still trying play without Mbappe, but him formula still can't get the perfect result. As you said PSG weren't very effective before Mbappe playing, and yeah that's true. To be honest, I am also very disappointed with PSG result. Their current squad is pretty great but they still haven't been able to sharpen their attack line, that's not really good at all, If in the next game they can't got full points I think PSG will be left behind to get the title.

I thought mbape would play perfectly against Toulouse in this very difficult game but in reality mbape's performance was not that great, I think somehow. with a 1-1 draw against Toulouse and while Toulouse is in 3rd place with 4 points, PSG is still in 8th place with 2 points which PSG coach Luis Enrique needs to improve for the next game.

Mbappe did not start the match, he came on in the second half and scored, so i don't think the discussion should be about Mbappe, but the psg team, they have not started the season well and i expected it to happen like this because of all the drama that was going on before the start of the season. The drama ended with Mbappe back into the team even though he hasn't signed the contract that psg want him to sign, when the club makes a player believe that he is bigger than the team, they will not be so successful.

Luis Enrique is a very good coach, but he should have chosen another club, i don't think he will fix psg's problems, he can only do that if the club allows him to manage the team without them interfering in his decisions.

Mbappe is still an inconsistent player. Many people trust him to help PSG leaves from the critical situation, but the club can't only rely on him. I remind you that how messi was helping mbappe last season with so many assists, Mbappe will not able to perform the same like last season.
Im not sure if PSG will be able to win league 1 this season. I hope that another team will be able to break the win streak that is owned by PSG.  Enrique needs to improve the performance from PSG or khelaifi may sack him as a coach.
Im feeling doubtful about PSG. Mbappe talked too much about UCL but it was always getting draw even against the weak team in league 1. How can PSG win UCL if it keeps perform like a mediocre club?
This team looks so garbage right now. The performance is far below last season. Some transfers were not performing so well.

In the French Soccer League Toulouse vs PSG two-team match, many games were played before halftime. However, neither team could score a goal before halftime. The players of both teams tried hard to score. However, after halftime, the players of both teams scored 1 goal each. In the match  Neither team could win. After watching the PSG team play I thought maybe PSG team will play well and win the match but due to their poor performance they did not win the match they drew and shared the points.

This match is between Toulouse vs PSG. Both goals came from the spot, of course this is a difficult game. PSG was able to dominate the game but was unable to win the game. This proves that PSG does not have a creator player which is a serious problem for PSG at the moment.

Because it's useless if you control the ball but can't score goals, maybe this will be Enrique's serious work in the next match to be able to make a better strategy, maybe Mbappe and Dembele can be played from the start of the game. So far PSG has only been able to collect 2 points from the first 2 matches in Ligue 1 and are now ranked 11th in the standings.

It's just an unbelievable! A football club would prioritize building a team around Mbappe and leaves Messi, thinking they'll win the Champions League trophies? Despite all the controversies, we can't ignore the truth. They're in for a surprise. I hope they learn a tough lesson this season. In today's match against Toulouse, Mbappe's goal didn't secure a win for psg; it only managed a draw instead of losing points. The club has a big issue, and it's not going away anytime soon.

PSG surprised me, they held the ball throughout the game and got a lot more chances. But unfortunately they were not successful in scoring goals. They lost points in this match as they conceded a penalty goal in the last minutes.
I think it's quite surprising because I expected psg to continue this season without losing points for a long time. Now they have lost 4 points in the second week. I am very curious about their performance in the rest of the season

Only getting two points from two matches is not a good thing for a club that has spent quite a lot of money in the transfer market. Goals from both teams have only come from the penalty spot.
From the statistics of this match, PSG managed to control more than 75% of the ball's possession and were able to make 16 shots at the opponent's goal, unfortunately, only 3 of them were on target, which was not much different from what Toulouse could do, even though this team was only able to get very few balls to attack.
Their next game will be against Lens, and it will be a more difficult game for PSG to win, but if they fail to get 3 points then it should be a worry because losing a lot of points will make it very difficult for them to be able to defend the title. However, from the results of the match, PSG are certainly happy that Mbappe is back in action because they still really need Mbappe.

One person doesn't guarantee that he can be the saviour of his team every time. Messi failed to do it with Barcelona and Mbappe will never be able to do it. PSG problems are quite chronic now with their fluctuating strategy that depended on big names that were not that helpful and now they are turning into recruiting french players to consolidate the team. Although the money spent and the good players they have, PSG still waste points..
In today's match, Lille, Brest and Reims won their games and Nice ended its match with a draw vs Lorient. The place of the "used to be" top teams in the table right now is incredible.

I still can't stop thinking how it is possible for Lyon to suffer a crushing defeat at home to Montpellier with a score of 1-4. Even though statistically Lyon are so dominating and Montpellier seems to often let go when they enter Lyon's defense area, this is evidenced by a total of 8 shots on target. I think Lyon's defense is really bad and the goalkeeper can't do much even though he managed to make 4 saves. Lately, Lyon has experienced a decline in performance, they should be able to win against a team whose quality is quite far below them, but Lyon has been unable to overcome this. Last week they also lost against Strasbourg and Lyon should have been able to win in that match but they had to accept the harsh reality of the current defeat.
