French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[makishart]

PSG will not get stronger if there are still weak lines in their team, because last season it was clear that PSG would not be successful in the UCL when they only relied on their front line, while the other lines were still not strong enough. So that is still the main task of PSG if they want to make their team stronger this season, because defense is a very important line for all teams. And this season everything is also clear where PSG was only able to draw in the first two matches in Ligue1.

All of the lines are still weak enough. The results from two matches have proven that how PSG can't even get full points against mediocre team of league 1. I saw that how the performance from PSG has been decreasing so hard. It's likely PSG may take a lot of time to build chemistry again. I don't expect big from PSG. The result will always be the same. PSG potentially to get another draw for the upcoming match. PSG is a club that must be avoided by gamblers now caused by how unstable the performance from the club is.
Mbappe gives nothing. People are over exciting toward him and scoring through penalty is not something special. Mbappe thinks he can become a savior, but he is definitely wrong about that.
Messi helps him a lot last season but there will be no guy who can play like messi this season in the club. The performance from PSG will become even worse.

Luis Enrique didn't have a good line-up in his first two matches in Ligue 1. PSG lost Messi, Neymar and Mbappe in the first game, while Mbappe and Dembele weren't really able to make much of a difference in the second game. PSG failed to win in these two matches because they lacked many things. PSG need creative midfielders, while they also need better defenders.

So far I don't understand why PSG prefer to sign strikers instead of midfielders. Even if they have a good midfielder then their game will get better throughout the season. PSG must bring in midfielders of the caliber of Bernardo Silva, De Bruyne or Ilkay Gundogan, Kroos and Modric, but so far they have not met that criteria from their midfielders.

Luis Enrique having problems problems in the defensive position because some of the defenders he has are currently injured, and vice versa regarding the midfield position because no one has been able to play above the average ability he needs, this is what makes PSG's attack and defense not so strong and good. Mbappe and Dembele also won't be able to do much if their front line is not energetic and unable to provide measurable mature passes because usually attacks are built through the movements of midfielders.

The midfield combination is also not very solid and I think it needs adaptation to Luis Enrique's coaching style for PSG players, because if this is seen this coach relies more on strength in hold the ball and he also often applies short ball games foot. Of course this style of play requires an energetic midfielder who can keep rhythm in midfield and I haven't seen a PSG midfielder who has that ability now.

It's high time the club knows what they need and go for it, they can't keep signing frontlines without scanning the backlines, how these roles operates. The defenders are not fully positioned to win games, rather they keep making blunders that cost them to concede goals in league games. PSG coach, Luis Enrique should make more signings this season, in full focus on the defend and midfield, because that's where their problem originates from. PSG have missed out on big names this season, players that would have secured an easy win for the parisians have already exited the club.

From last season to now I think, that PSG has good players on all lines and not only on the front lines. From goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and strikers PSG basically has good quality players. But for some reason, even though PSG has changed coaches, but PSG has failed to get an easy win in every match so far. If this result continues in the next matches, then PSG will find it difficult to win the title this season. Also, it seems that buying star players is not the right way for PSG, because so far they have failed to have consistent dominance despite having star players.

Definitely improved without a doubt. They still should make a few more transfers but the summer is almost done and I do not think that we have that many players we could see changing clubs anytime soon. If teams wants to get rid of their players, they could just sell them to Saudi Arabia, and the teams who do not want to sell their players could just hold them and PSG could not afford to get them and would have to overpay for them which would be useless to do.

I think it will definitely be a situation where PSG has to wait until winter period or even next summer until they finish their entire setup. I bet that it's going to be even better, Mbappe may leave and that's fine they should get rid of him to stop the drama, but then they will have some great players.

What are your predicting with Ligue 1 have more competitive in season 2023/24 after PSG faced winning difficult from last two matches? actually many people opinion is early eliminated PSG from winning race because they have been success dominance in Ligue 1 for last several years, but PSG have bad start in Ligue 1 after two draw from two matches and they have got two points right now. Badly with PSG attacking line they can't scoring goal through game open play and one goal from last match against Toulouse from penalty kick.

Upcoming match, PSG against Lens are in the bad performance after success finish on 2nd standings last season but get difficult for winning in this season, will AS Monaco with perfect result from two matches dominance for Ligue 1 season 2023/24 or PSG will back to usual 1st standings place?

According to RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins, Saudi side Al Ittihad are targeting Paris Saint-Germain captain Marquinhos (29).
Marquinhos’ role as PSG captain is currently under threat. According to reporting from RMC Sport, two votes have been held to elect Les Parisiens’ captain for the season. Marquinhos is the current proprietor of the armband, and it was the Brazilian international that came out on top in the first round of voting. However, amid internal doubts about Marquinhos’ suitability for the role, a fresh vote has been held – this time the ballot was private. The Brazilian is one of five candidates in the running for the role, according to Le Parisien.

Saudi club is not yet sopping in pursuing more and more european players. According to the latest report, if PSG captain already targeted by saudi pro league club to be recruited before the end of transfer season. Many players in the club have been voting him for twice to be a captain for the club. There's no confirmation whether marquinhos has interest to leave from the club. Losing him will be a disaster for the club as he had been choosen as a captain again through votes that already done by PSG players.

It's hard to imagine who's gonna be a new captain if he will leave from the club and join in al ittihad. Saudi club is still very aggresive in hunting the new player now.

At the end of last season, the PSG team was in disarray. At the end of the 22-23 season, a significant number of the team's players had already left the club and PSG had appointed a new manager. It would not be wrong to call PSG a new team at the moment, the new manager is trying to reshape the team after taking charge of the team. PSG's main problems until last season were their defense and their midfield. PSG could have done better long ago if they had strengthened their midfield and defense earlier but they failed to do so. Luis Enrique is currently in charge of PSG so he will definitely want to strengthen the team from defense to forward. If Luis Enritte is given financial freedom, he can definitely turn this team into a strong team.

PSG have always had a strong midfield, and at the moment there are no big changes in this line, I would say that PSG did not have any problems with the middle line. But at the moment, PSG have problems with the attack line, even in the last matches where Mbappe either did not play at all, or went out in the second half, they could hardly score a goal, so at the moment the biggest problem for PSG is precisely the line of attack.

@Litzki1990 PSG player’s were distracted due to the Mbappe saga and many didn’t even want him to come back but yet he’s back and it clearly divided the team hence they’re underperforming. Lastly with the transfer window about to close I doubt that PSG will be able to buy any new player’s now but I won’t be surprised if Mbappe departs to Real Madrid.

I also see that problem in every season at PSG and it hasn't been resolved until this season so the advice you give is actually also more appropriate for PSG because they need to be able to focus on bringing in better players in midfield and defense. This was also revealed when PSG's front line became unproductive in scoring goals when there were no players who were good at providing passes from the back or midfield. So the PSG team must also be stronger on two lines that have not been their focus so far.

The problem is that the reshuffling and changing of plans from looking for players who are old enough to be finished and this season replacing them with some young players has made their attacking line problematic.
After trying to find and overhaul the defense then this will also have problems in every line.
It may get better for some time but it also has to be accompanied by good training and currently PSG is still struggling in that regard too.
PSG really has problems on every front whether it is from the players or the coach.

[len01]

Because if he wants Real Madrid they can surely offer the same contract to him as well. When he leaves I can't imagine how it would affect PSG for now.

Real madrid only wants him as free agent. Madrid never ever interested in buying him from PSG with non sense price. As you can see that even PSG is still struggling in scoring the goal with mbappe on its squad.

I see that PSG are really having serious problems on scoring goals without Mbappe. Messi and Neymar have left in the same transfer window and we have a much more different attacking line ahead. While Mbappe also doesn't play it is just an attacking line with new players all. There will even be a need for more time to see that trio playing together better.

Even if they don't manage to convince Mbappe to stay for longer they should still have him on the pitch as long as possible. Because until the new players adapt to the team they will really need Mbappe to be able to be productive at scoring goals. This was their second draw in second league match.

Yes indeed, at this moment even though Mbappe is still in the PSG squad but the fact is, PSG is still difficult to score goals. But, is this because Enrique is currently carrying out several strategic experiments or indeed, Enrique still hasn't found a suitable strategy for PSG. Because it seems that this poor performance has also been seen from before the season started or from several friendly matches. With such poor results, of course, Enrique really has to be able to put in a better strategy by involving Mbappe in the main role.

if you look from my point of view, I do not see PSG having trouble scoring even though 2 matches ended in a draw but indeed this is a normal condition because every coach needs the best strategy and reads what opportunities should be added to the strategy and also we know if Enrique is that a new coach still needs a lot of time to understand the character of one player to another so as a PSG fan you have to be able to understand this situation.
and for yesterday last match Mbappe also performed well because he was a savior to get 1 score and also the defensive line players had good strength to hold opposing players from scoring again.

The lineup that a club must have is the balance between positions in the game, be it defense, midfield, or attack. They can't keep strengthening their attack, but they forget to strengthen the depth of the midfield and backline. They also can't focus on one position at the back, but forget about the attack. because it would also be useless if they are good at defense but they can't create goals. I have seen this problem for years in Paris Saint Germain, strangely they don't seem to realize that it is their weakness.

Their idea has obviously been to win the games by scoring three more goals than the opponent, so be it 4-1 or 5-2, it doesn't matter. But the thing is that this works against weak or average teams, but it doesn't work in the Champions League and that's where they tried it again and again with the same strategy, losing the games mostly because of problems they had already encountered before.

If the line-up includes Mbappe, Messi and Neymar, it should immediately be noted that this comes at a cost. Having one player in the team who doesn't support the defense can be ok, Having two of them is already bad for the team's balance and having three of them, well... That is too much.

Now PSG had this short period of time when everyone thought they would win every game with ease because of their attack line, but it wasn't the case. I am really curious to see what their vision is for the mid-term now.

RC lens is trying to recruit sanchez since he was leaving from marseille with gree agent. I knew that if sanchez is willing to comeback again in serie a but the chance is quite small at this moment. I expect sanchez to took lens's offer as an alternative offer for him.
He has been linked to the barcelona as well.

According to Mohamed Toubache-Ter, RC Lens made an attempt to sign Alexis Sánchez (34), who is a free agent since the expiry of his contract at Olympique de Marseille. Sánchez had a successful debut season with Marseille. In 35 Ligue 1 games, the Chilean forward scored 14 goals, however, his contract was not renewed, and he is now available on a free transfer. Following Loïs Openda’s departure, Lens were in the market for a forward, and according to Toubache-Ter, the club attempted to sign Sánchez.

Source
I understand if sanchez never thought to play on league 1 but lens is also good enough to continue his career. His chance to join in serie a is quite small at this moment. He has been linked to the intermilan. Sanchez's impressive performance with Marseille has made Lens consider him as the most suitable replacement for Openda, who has departed to another club. Lens in the needs of new striker right now. The club shall able to get one before the end of transfer season.

The time is going even closer to the end of summer transfer market. Lens needs to do something to secure his service. Sanchez will able to compete with mbappe in league 1. I hope he will consider lens's offer.

There were mistakes in the defensive zone last year as well. PSG had a lot of trouble in this regard. I think Enrique should consider transfers in these regions. The forward line may be very good, but it doesn't matter if you score. That's why defense is so important.

What are your predicting with Ligue 1 have more competitive in season 2023/24 after PSG faced winning difficult from last two matches? actually many people opinion is early eliminated PSG from winning race because they have been success dominance in Ligue 1 for last several years, but PSG have bad start in Ligue 1 after two draw from two matches and they have got two points right now.

Ligue 1 has just started, we still have a long wait to find out which team will be a strong candidate to win this competition trophy. but it's true, PSG's performance in the two matches was not satisfactory. the problem is they weren't able to score many goals or wins, even though Luis Enrique's squad didn't actually play with bad performance. and once again I say, the problem is they are not able to score goals. As for the goals scored, from the penalty spot. but after all this is just the beginning, let's see how these teams compete for trophies this season.
If PSG in the next few matches there is no change, moreover they are not able to win game after game. then, Luis Enrique was in trouble. but I think we'll see first, after all there are still 30+ matches that must be played by every team competing in this league including Paris Saint-Germain.

well, let's just wait when PSG host Lens this week, Lens was able to compete tightly and was only 1 point away. Interestingly, these two teams are not performing well. so, both teams will both target victory in the match later.
As for Manaco, they started the competition by winning 2 wins. if they are consistent until the end of the season, Monaco has a chance to break PSG's dominance. but after all, this league competition still has a lot of matches remaining.

I have seen this problem for years in Paris Saint Germain, strangely they don't seem to realize that it is their weakness.

I think with the arrival of Luis Enrique, the situation is going to get better for PSG. We have seen the previous coaches actually depend on the attacking lineup, a little too much to be honest.

But I know that Luis Enrique is a better coach. And I definitely believe he’s going to make a balanced squad, instead of just reinforcing the attacking lineup. He had a lot of success with Barcelona previously. I think if he is given enough time and money, he will definitely be able to bring good results. PSG do not have any problem with Money. I just hope that they will give the coach enough time.

Firstly, these are still the first two matches and it is only a matter of time until the time comes for PSG to dominate Ligue 1 again. PSG is building a new squad this season and with a new coach there will certainly be a few obstacles that have prevented them from winning in the previous two matches. I think they will get back to winning ways for sure.

Regarding the match against Lens, actually for this match I didn't expect much and it's possible that PSG will again experience difficulties but it must be admitted that Lens is also not as good as at the start of last season, so I think these two teams are still evenly matched. Well, for Monaco maybe they have dominated quite a bit so far but I think they will be like last season towards the middle of the season, they will probably experience more inconsistency.

Exactly @rendravolt it's only a matter of time before PSG starts dominating the league again, and since they're building a new team it would take a while before they adapt into the system and become very dominant again, what fans needs to the worried about is their performance in the Champions league, because that's what they need mostly and they've been chasing the trophy for years and had even recruited the best players around the world in previous season but to no avail.
 It think you're right and they would face difficulties winning lens, bit I expect them to win the match, lens are yet to win a match in their last 5 previous matches including the pre-season matches, and even started the season with a draw against Rennes and that's one thing PSG should capitalise on, the PSG squad looks great and they've introduced talented players though they still need time to understand themselves and start winning matches again therefore I think they'll play better than the previous match and score more goals against Lens hopefully Mbappe would get  brace.
