French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[marcous]

It should not be judged now whether Luis Enrique is a good coach for PSG. Luis Enrique has proven in the past that he is an experienced enough coach. I have no doubts about Luis Enrique's ability. But PSG's situation is a bit different this season. Their attack is now completely dependent on Mbappe's performance. There is no experienced striker in PSG's squad. I think PSG's gameplay would have been stronger if the attack was stronger. However, PSG management should give Luis Enrique enough time. If Luis Enrique is PSG coach next season, I think he will be able to take PSG team to a unique height.

In terms of his quality and achievements in the past, Enrique is no longer in doubt, yes, in line with what you said, Enrique needs time to bring PSG to the peak of success. Regarding the team dependence on Mbappe, I think that is a very natural thing, just like Messi at Barcelona and Ronaldo at Madrid in the past. If luckily, Mbappe can be fit throughout the season and play all of PSG matches. On the other hand, Enrique has quite good squad depth for this season, although not as good as Mbappe quality.

Only a few coaches can have an instant impact on the club they manage, but luck could come to them more quickly. Everything takes time to make changes gradually, I think Enrique can do it well.

In the end, Reims won away from home with 2 goals to 1. Lille conceded at home and also fell to a defeat at home to Reims. It was a dominating performance from Reims who moved up to 5th place after the victory; while lille could only fight back and draw a goal back in the 79th minute. Deserved win for Reims.

Reims won the match by 2 goals but Reims team could have won this match by 4 goals if they had good performance in the first half as they did in the first half. But Reims team did not play well after half time. The first goal was scored by M. Daramy at 12 minutes.  .and the 2nd goal was scored by K. Nakamura in 16 minutes. The game was very tense between the two teams.

Enrique is a proven coach he's managed alot of big players in the past, and I believe he'll do same at PSG with Kylian Mbappè, they both need eachothers trust to excel this season and I believe sooner or later the players would be on their best performance, most of them are already understanding the basics and performing well especially Hakimi that's scored in several matches and even scored a free kick game, i won't even be suprised to see Dembele performing very well at PSG cause that what Enrique is good at, bringing out the best in his players.

 PSG would definitely win the league title but I think their main focus this season would be on the Champions League trophy, I won't be very easy to achieve but with the help of Kylian Mbappe they'll try to go far in the tournament maybe get to the semi's or so.

In the end, Reims won away from home with 2 goals to 1. Lille conceded at home and also fell to a defeat at home to Reims. It was a dominating performance from Reims who moved up to 5th place after the victory; while lille could only fight back and draw a goal back in the 79th minute. Deserved win for Reims.

Reims won early in the first half of the match with a two-goal lead since the match had barely started, while the home team Lille was only able to get one goal back in the second half even though their dominance and level of ball possession was slightly better than the visiting team. But the home team was unable to equalize until the end of the match so Lille had to accept defeat at home to Reims and I think this was very detrimental for Lille.

No wonder because anyway, I also said before that Reims is not a weak team for Lille. Because from the head to head record too, basically Lille does not have good dominance when playing against Reims. Moreover, previously Lille and Reims only had a gap of one point and that way, of course their quality at this moment is also not much different. So yes, that is how Reims managed to win this match and managed to improve with an additional three points and now Reims has ten points from the six matches it has played.

But statistically Lille has possession of the ball with a total of 70%, of course it can be said that they dominate the game well and also have more opportunities than Lille, which can actually be said to be quite better, but they don't have a good spearhead in the game. so they had difficulty scoring goals against Reims, historically Lille didn't have a good head to head experience against Reims.

I think they Lille must have a good central midfielder and striker to be able to beat Reims, or is this like a mental curse, from what I saw from Lille in this match it was quite good. but maybe this is what's interesting about football.

Reims managed to hold on to the lead they created in the first half, just before the 20-minute mark. I think their defense did a good job, they made it difficult for LOSC to equalize even though they tried various ways. LOSC had some hope after they managed to reduce the score in the 79th minute, but it was not enough to make them settle for 1 point, the remaining time was not enough for them to create a second goal. They've struggled at the start of the season, it shows in the six games they've played.

The score made by M. Daramy was really dangerous, if his foot slipped even a little, then there would be an uninteresting incident in that match. Overall Reims played very well in that match, they are able to take advantage of counter attacks very well. Alhough in that game Reims continued to be press by Lille, but their defense was quite solid, it's no wonder Lille difficulty to got scored even though statistically Lille is better rather than Reims.

Reims performed very well and perhaps if they had not scored first then they would have struggled to get the win. Lille is one of the good teams in Ligue 1 but unfortunately when they played against Reims and their statistics were not that good, it was quite clear that they were having difficulties in this match. Maybe Lille should be able to play better, especially since at the start of the season all the teams compete with each other to get the best position.

Mbappe is not injured.
In fact, even Enrique started talking about him a few days ago and according to what we heard from their coach Enrique, this player is not even injured but he just felt pain and that's why he needed to leave the field because substitution of this player was the only option for Enrique.

Yes, I think so too because I didn't see Kylian Mbappe really in pain in the match at that time, it was just a small mistake in his foot so he felt a little pain in his ankle so we don't need to worry about this news and next weekend's match Mbappe looks like he will be present compete against Clermont and this is an opportunity for Mbappe to score more goals because Clermont is not a very strong club in League 1.
About Luis Enrique, I really hope that this coach will immediately provide the correct strategy to immediately dominate League 1 because if you wait too long to provide the right strategy, this will be very bad because even though current competitors such as Brest and Nice are not too strong clubs, if Luis Enrique If PSG doesn't immediately give the right direction, they will be too far behind in points.

PSG will become fierce in less than no time. PSG beats their opponent to grab 3 points, resulting in the parisians climbing upwards on the Ligue One table. However the game was kind of tough for the Frenchman, having little bit of challenges scoring, I was surprised to see Luis Enrique substituted Kylian Mbappe and bringing on Goncalo Ramos from bench, shockingly he scored a brace in the game, something that was difficult for Mbappe to do. I totally understand what the club is trying to do, they are attempting to do perfectly fine without without their main player on the pitch.

Luis Enrique had to replace Mbappe during the match because he was injured, but Ramos managed to answer all the team's needs even though he had not really proven his abilities in the previous few matches. Gonçalo Ramos scored the first brace for PSG and was his first goal in the last 6 match, but he deserved it and it will make him even better.

This weekend PSG will travel to Clermont for the 7th matchday of Ligue 1. Clermont is a team in the relegation zone which is unlikely to complicate PSG's plans to win the top of the standings, but of course it will have a bad impact for them. PSG's point difference with Brest is only 2, so the result of the Brest vs Nice match will probably be very decisive.

I understand how hard things are for Luis Enrique. When a good player like Mbappe gets hurt, it's always tough. But I believe it's time to honour Goncalo Ramos. I don't think that brace was a fluke; I think the guy has it in him. He didn't score in six games, but it's about time that his hard work paid off. Based on the weekend, I don't think Clermont will give PSG too much problems. I can already feel the fear on the Clermont side. The match between Brest and Nice is hanging over PSG like a sword, but a win against Clermont would definitely help their case. I'm confident that Ramos will make a big difference again and show how tough he is

[Phoenix Anka]

Believe or not, Mbappe is most important and vital player for PSG although fantastic winning from Marseille last match without have Mbappe its not guarantee with PSG not necessary with him. First opening match in Ligue 1, PSG can't scoring goals when Mbappe have absent because Luis Henrique not including him in player list name. Arriving Randal Kolo Muani have positive impact he can scoring goals when Mbappe absent but looking on top scorer Ligue 1 standing placed Mbappe have scored  7 goals for PSG with playing 5 matches.

For this season, Luis Henrique not really worry because he can use Mbappe service until end season and try to find new replacement if extend him until the end season, but not easy to find the same level performance because Mbappe have experienced and consistency scoring every goals on every matches for PSG.

Luis Enrique is incharge, too early to conclude about the poor form of the club, rather there's more exploring options to be triggered by the new headcoach. The club made a crucial mistakes in the past decades, focusing on a primary player, when they finally exits, it becomes unbearable for the club and they start struggling. Currently, PSG are currently nothing without Kylian Mbappe, he single handedly brought the club to limelight with his outstanding performance. You're right, Kylian Mbappe is an important player for the club, having full dominance in the club and a strong influence on the Parisians. Real Madrid, Florentino Perez is an admirer of the Frenchman, he would do anything within his reach to sign him in the January transfer window.

Florentino Perez wants very much to bring Mbappe to the team. They couldn't do this during the transfer period this year, but I am certain that they will bring him to the team in the summer next year at the latest. Real Madrid can do wonders with Mbappe.

Reims accepted Lille's superiority throughout the match. When Reims scored 2 goals in the first 15 minutes, they easily completed the rest of the match. I look at the statistics of the match and Reims had only 30% possession. Lille was ineffective in attack. If they had been a little lucky, they could have won against Reims.

I think we should give the manager a little more time before talking about what he has achieved and what he is going to achieve. I personally think that he is a great coach. He just needs more time with PSG.

A lot of people are actually in doubt about PSG winning the league title. I don't think it is going to be a problem to be honest. After all they have started to improve. I think if a coach like this or even himself was brought in earlier, Mbappé would have definitely settled better with the team. And he would have also done better with the other senior players that he had alongside him, Messi and Neymar. But it is what it is.

PSG is going to play against Clermont Foot in the next match. I have no doubt that they are going to win that match. After all Clermont Foot is in the last position of the table.

Florentino Perez wants very much to bring Mbappe to the team. They couldn't do this during the transfer period this year, but I am certain that they will bring him to the team in the summer next year at the latest. Real Madrid can do wonders with Mbappe.

Madrid should have brought him in last summer's transfer window. but they didn't do it, I don't know whether the rumors are true or not, about Madrid getting Mbappe as a free agent. However, if they bring him in this season, Madrid will be one of the favorite teams to win the Champions League trophy. despite the predicate that Real Madrid is a team that has a winning mentality.

However, what we currently know is that Mbappe is still in the Paris Saint-Germain uniform. We don't know what Mbappe's current status is, whether Nasser Al Khelaifi has an agreement with Mbappe. in fact, we don't know, even though there are many rumors and gossip that pepper every report. but if that's true, this season will be Mbappe's last season with PSG. What we know is that his contract ends in 2024. That means PSG will probably still do something. Enrique's side, he doesn't want his first season to fail. At least, their target is the Lique 1 trophy. So, Enrique will really take advantage of Mbappe this season.

[Furious 7]

I agree because seeing the situation of PSG destroying Marseille, it is clearly very good for PSG, especially seeing the scores they created without Mbappe in the squad which certainly raises expectations that PSG is ready to lose Mbappe at the end of the season (I believe Mbappe will leave) but on the other hand these expectations are still expectations that must be proven and the victory over Marseille still cannot be used as a benchmark that PSG is considered capable of playing well without Mbappe in this season. squad because in this case we also have to see in other matches whether PSG can play this well or not in the future.

Believe or not, Mbappe is most important and vital player for PSG although fantastic winning from Marseille last match without have Mbappe its not guarantee with PSG not necessary with him. First opening match in Ligue 1, PSG can't scoring goals when Mbappe have absent because Luis Henrique not including him in player list name. Arriving Randal Kolo Muani have positive impact he can scoring goals when Mbappe absent but looking on top scorer Ligue 1 standing placed Mbappe have scored  7 goals for PSG with playing 5 matches.

For this season, Luis Henrique not really worry because he can use Mbappe service until end season and try to find new replacement if extend him until the end season, but not easy to find the same level performance because Mbappe have experienced and consistency scoring every goals on every matches for PSG.

That is what PSG must fix because seeing the current contract, it is actually just a business game so that Mbappe is not released for free but on the other hand sooner or later he will definitely leave which makes PSG, especially Enrique, have to try to rack his brains to be able to find other options without Mbappe in the squad.
Currently he is injured although there is some news that the injury is not too severe I think this could also be a good thing for PSG to try a scheme without Mbappe there.
Mbappe is indeed the most vital player, but if you continue to do and expect Mbappe to continue to be with PSG with the conditions last season a lot of drama happened I think this will not forever be overcome because sooner or later Mbappe will definitely leave PSG and will provide a big gap, especially from the attack.

I love the fact that Mbappé is playing for the team with his heart and has able to score about 7 goals for them making him the player with the highest goal for the team this season,it shows that he's still loyal and has love for PSG, I like what Enrique has done to the team and In their last match they score about 4 goals without Mbappe's presence, it should that with time they'll have to adjust without their star players and still perform well.

 Luis Enrique would be hoping that his star players injury is not very severe because he'll be much needed in their match against Newcastle, their opposition team might not be very familiar with the championship league but they're not to be underestimated, they're Enrique would need the help of all his key player to win the game and continue to lead the table in the group stage, well hopefully we'll get to see Mbappe play and help his team to win the game.

[Webetcoins]

I would guess that Mbappe will keep doing things like this when the games do not matter anymore. It could be against simpler teams, it could be against any team when they are up by a lot, I think Mbappe will keep on being "in pain" and leave the pitch.

They will have to figure out a way to get rid of that trouble and that's what they are doing with the Kolo Muani test as well, they could just use the players they have without Mbappe and still be a great team, I bet that they would still end up with a lot of wins. I get that nobody could be as good as Mbappe, but they could still be considered a strong team without him as well, the rest of the squad is good enough that they are going to end up with a win eventually.

In as much as they don't have to be very dependent on Mbappe they still need him because he's still their player and his presence in the team would make it easier for them to win games or have a better performance against other big teams, especially in the big team, their performance against Marseille last week was very impressive it shows that the players are beginning to understand themselves better and they would be find in cases where Mbappe is not available or fit to play.
 
 With Kolo Muani, Dembele, Ramos, Hakimi and several other quality players present in the squad I think they'll be fine when Mbappe finally decides to leave the team and by then these players must have understood themselves better and would had learnt to adapt without Mbappe in their team, however his presence currently matters and the coach is happy to have him in his squad.

After seeing the game I think Lille not being lucky wasn't the problem I think it was Reims actually being good at absorbing pressure that was the major issue because they know if they come out and play probably Lille might draw or even possibly winning the game so defence was a good choice and effective option that paid off for them.

That is a form of professionalism and that is what Mbappe must do because after all he is still a person who must do something like that for the club he defends until his career ends there and he did something very good.
Enrique did a very good scheme with his very big win in the match against Marseille I think it's a very good thing for him because this can be an encouragement. Not only for Enrique but all parties at PSG so that they can release Mbappe without the hassle of thinking about replacement player options because there are already several players who can be used as options.

Strasbourg vs Lens

How do you see the results of this match later? Remembering that in the previous match Lens started to find bright spots to be able to win the match again. Previously, Lens managed to get their first win of the season by beating Toulouse with a narrow score and considering that later they will play an away match at Strasbourg headquarters, it seems that it will still be a challenge for them. If you look at the overall H2H, the two teams are actually quite evenly matched, but sometimes Strasbourg is quite difficult to beat when hosting.

I think even though the statistics look like that, Lens must be able to get another win in order to escape the bottom of the table and quickly get to where they deserve to be. On the other hand, it is possible that this could be a problem for Lens because Strasbourg certainly wants to maintain competition at the top and at least continue to stick to several teams in the top 4 that are not too far away in points.
