Ligue 1 Discussion 14/15

Kid is 19. Completely ruined his confidence this awful awful Lille side. All of his development has went to shit this season. Probably did more damage than good this loan spell.

Doesn't help that savage fans are booing their own 19 year old academy player simply because he's been sold by the club to Liverpool.

Origi had several opportunities to do something in the final third and he made the wrong decision almost every time. I see nothing good in him if he is supposed to be a striker.

Please know the facts before saying stuff...  Kalou was the starting central striker for Lille the past 2 seasons and did pretty well.  He had 16 L1 goals last season and 14 the one before.  Lille moved him to give Origi the opportunity to start... a huge opportunity for a kid who was all hype and no tangible production.  Origi started ok the first month and then completely disappeared.

Lille fans are very knowledgeable and passionate.  Origi is a youth product that forced his sale to Liverpool before the season started... in their minds, he's a mercenary.  So he gets zero homegrown treatment, which is normal.  The boos are for his pathetic play and for Seydoux/Girard playing him despite his form and his departure this summer... it makes no sense.  He's not part of the club for all intents and purposes.

Reminds me of Niang tbh... great raw talent that just isn't developing at all. Both these kids relied on their huge physical advantage in the youth ranks and didn't develop any fundamentals or work eithic. Fell victim to their own hype. Both are young and you hope that it gets turned around pretty soon. But now, they have a flop tag that they'll fight to erase.

Speaking of Niang...what on earth happened to him? The last time I heard about him was when he hit the post against Barcelona in the Champions League a couple seasons ago.

Excellent display. Good way to build confidence before the crucial Champions League match.

Michy Batshuayi, future star.

He was superb for Liège last season, almost reminiscent of Lukaku's later days at Anderlecht. He is not really that quick or that strong like Lukaku but what amazes me is his poaching sense and technique. Big fan of his.

I can almost guarantee you Origi will be a success at Liverpool where the team actually plays attacking football that will suit him. He's only 19 and has all the attributes to be a success in the PL. He's gonna be a back up at first to Sturridge but in a year or two he'll get himself in to the team.

Not a single forward could be a success in that Lille side. Worst attacking side I have ever seen in my life.

Watching Origi right. On the 31' Lopes and Origi on the counter and he gets a half chance and shots wide very wide. Thats been the story all season.

Issue isn't style. Yes, Lille is playing some ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING football. BUT he has not hit a shot on target in the last 2 games and had more than enough chances

I wonder how long it will be until Nabil Fekir receives the attention of Europe's top clubs. In my opinion the best player in France this season, and he is only 21!

Laca and Fekir are doing a raul-morientes atm lol

Just saw the highlights. scoring FIVE away to montpellier.

Really hope Lyon wins the league this year.

Doesn't matter how poor he actually is, dat WC hype is still alive in the minds of Liverpool fans.

Origi didn't even play well at the World Cup. Just some fancy touches and managed to not embarrass himself like Lukaku did.

dat origi jinx

Hattrick today

GL jinx

pls someone puts the Thug Life meme on that vine

Origi

Kid is 19 years old. Now he's the highest goalscoring teenager in all of Europe.

GL

Ibra

The officials are doing their best to make sure PSG do not win the title again.

what a disrespectful little shit .
ever since he came to PSG he's been very condescending towards everybody in the country , thinking that he's better than everyone .
why didn't he do this after the ridiculous red card he got in the CL ? he thinks he can get away with shit like this in France because he's playing in a " bush league " that's beneath him .

France doesn't deserve this PSG he said ? i'd say this  champions league aspiring PSG deserves more than a washed mental midget and a  perennial CL flop to lead its attack .

Psg have only themselves to blame if they don't win the league... Officiating is poor for everyone. I don't see it being worse for psg. Ibra has been vocal about the bad officiating since his first season. This is nothing new. He went overboard however.

Tbh, Ligue 1 needs players like Ibra. However, players like Ibra don't need Ligue 1.

Damn. You're going in dry son.

He has been by far the best player in France since he has joined PSG. I remember at the end of the second season some people were considering him as one of the best to play in the league. Some people in the PSG-forum were talking about him as the best to play for the club. I think by next season he will be the top scorer. He is only 13 behind Pauleta.

If I remember properly, he has criticized referees all through his career. I know he did it many times with Milan, so I know it is not only a problem for Ligue 1.

The difference in decisions is clear. It looked like Ibra made a terrible challenge to Oscar so the protest was not needed. PSG immediately appealed. But the backpass to Carrasso was a disgusting decision from all the referees, how they did not see that...? Incredible. This is even with the shouts of the PSG players, you could even hear it on TV. Rolan scored straight after, putting a huge hole in PSG's title chance.

The outburst was ridiculous. Ibra will be suspended for many important games, and he is already suspended for the CL games. He is a diva type player, but Pauleta was also the same type.

FT PSG 3-1

Lorient nearly gave them a scare but PSG were too good in the end.

Ibra complains way too much. About every little thing.

Oh please...  Ibra had a couple of the best seasons for a striker ever in his first two years.  But in terms of best ever?  Not even close.  Zidane, Waddle, Francescoli, Platini, Rocheteau, Papin, Benzema, Ginola, Drogba, Weah, Giresse, Sonny Anderson, etc. had bigger impacts overall and just as good single seasons if not better.  And then you had Ronaldinho, Suzic, Ribery, Kopa, Djorkaeff, Trezeguet, Pauleta, Rai, etc.

Only PSG fans (and young ones) would ever claim that Ibra is clearly the best ever.

reading some of those comments , you'd think Ibra moved to the Saudi league or something

Rai did way more in PSG than Ibra, and that team actually achieved more than the current side ... a european trophy and a champions league semifinal appearance to add to the league and cup .
