French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Farma]

-snip-So I don't expect much from PSG next season unless they find a suitable replacement for Mbappe.

Enrique is a good coach and he managed to build a solid squad and they always become champions in every season even though it is a farmer's league. But their performance in UCL is also very good. They almost always qualify for the knockout round. That shows that PSG is on the same level as other top European teams. However, in previous seasons I think PSG is very dependent on Mbappe's performance. Mbappe has a very significant impact on the results of the match. I see as if Mbappe is carrying PSG alone. I think Enrique must be able to prove that they can still perform well without Mbappe. PSG really needs another finisher and I think some league games will show how PSG performs without Mbappe.

I think all coaches must feel that because being a coach also requires a lot of brain power and must be used to make his team win, well of course for PSG they must give full trust to Enrique both on and off the field and in buying new players he will try his best for PSG but if PSG does not give Enrique the right to buy players of course it will be difficult for him to develop this team, this team since losing Mbappe they seem to have lost their spearhead in the front line and that can be seen from the two pre-seasons they have gone through which are very sad and I don't think PSG will say much more now unless he leaves everything to Enrique. Because why is that because Enrique knows that the players he wants are young players and he can play with players who are not spectacular not star players and he can make young players into star players in my opinion with the difficulties experienced by PSG while they still have an experienced coach so they don't need to worry too much in the French League 1 but on the contrary with the Champions I think they will be a weak team and can't do anything because if we examine the teams competing with PSG in the Champions they have good quality at the moment and it is true as you said.

So far PSG has not recruited a striker to replace Mbappe or indeed PSG is not in a hurry in this matter and may think of trying to survive with the players they have by looking at the tactics that Luis Enrique will do in building a club without a goal-hungry winger, PSG has several wingers but yes they are not as great as PSG maybe this will be their chance to show their abilities that do not only rely on Mbappe.

Well at PSG they have a team that I don't see much potential in , to be honest, they have a coach who has had to change a lot of things, and for me a team like PSG needs to make a lot of Changes because their biggest star is gone, is there someone like Mbappé to look for? It's difficult, but they have to do something to make them perform. PS has always been first in Ligue 1, but in Ligue 1 , in the UCL, not even when Messi was there did they Manage to win the UCL, so this is one of the goals they have to set themselves.

One of PSG's problems is the incompatibility between the squad and the manager. Mbappe's departure to Real Madrid is an important loss for PSG, but the technical director's inability to match the squad is a bigger problem in my opinion. A team like PSG should have had a coach like De Zerbi, a high tempo coach who pushes the players to their limits, but they wasted time with coaches like Pochettino and Tuchel who stuck to their own tactics. Even Luis Enrique couldn't cure this team. Those who come to PSG are trying to rediscover football.

The obsession with winning the Champions League has put a lot of pressure on the team and I think everyone in the team has lost their identity. Also, the efforts to build a team on Mbappe have failed PSG. They couldn't find a top class striker and the team's confidence dropped. Maybe it would be better for PSG if Mbappe leaves PSG.

In the UCL this season there are still many who still doubt PSG, especially with Mbappe's departure to another team, there are still no other players that PSG have got who are on par with Mbappe. Besides, it also makes sense to say that now because even when Messi was there PSG couldn't win the UCL trophy, especially when all the star players have left PSG like now. But it would be very surprising if this season PSG could perform well in the UCL and successfully win the title because now PSG does not have more star players in its squad even though that is not what many people are thinking about PSG.

We cannot doubt Enrique ability in terms of building a squad, but for now we cannot expect too much from PSG ability to compete in the Champions League, the squad that PSG has is very good, especially with the arrival of several new players at the moment, this will not exclude them as candidates for champions in Ligue 1, but if we talk about PSG then for now we will no longer talk about their abilities in Ligue 1, because after all PSG main target has been bigger (UCL trophy) than just to get the domestic league trophy, losing Mbappe clearly makes a lot of changes to their current squad, so it directly reduces the percentage of their chances of winning the Champions League trophy next season because at the moment we haven't seen many changes in their front line.

Talking about the big target for PSG next season with the hope of getting the UCL trophy, of course this must be accompanied by changes to the squad in several important lines at PSG so that Enrique's own ability can be more visible when training the players at PSG. But if until now PSG still has no changes in several important lines, of course there are still many people who doubt PSG's ability to get the UCL trophy next season. Moreover, coupled with the new format that generally every team must be ready to welcome it next season so that the strength level of the team squad must really exist and be tested.

I don't agree with this, Enrique is trying to do something fundamentally different at PSG, he is moving away from the system where the team was made up of many star players and is trying to make PSG a team that does not depend on one player.

I see something similar with Guardiola and in my opinion this is a very correct path. Look at what PSG were able to achieve with Messi, Mbappe and Neymar, and look at last season PSG was in the semi-finals without Messi and Neymar, and what will you say if, for example, this season PSG is in the final without Mbappe, or at least in the same semi-final? I think that this is quite possible, because Enrique is building a strong enough team, but I think that a good forward would not hurt them.

There is actually a player who can replace Mbappe and we all know who he is, Victor Oshimen, this player has shown his interest in playing for PSG many times but the club must fulfill the agreement that has been set by Napoli club but until now PSG has not recruited the player and I think PSG has given up on bringing in Victor Oshimen meaning that PSG is ready with the existing players and Enrique also does not seem too ambitious to bring in a new winger. Let's see what will happen to PSG this season whether they are still the strongest in League 1 if there are no more potential players in their squad because I think other clubs like Nice, Lille and Marseille will have make it difficult for PSG to compete in League 1 starting this season.
