Away match, 70th min, 1 goal down, 1 man down, what to do...

sub in MOTTA!!!!

Emery

[RealGunner]

Motta-Pastore-Rabiot- Di Maria

[RealGunner]

2-0 Toulouse


Emery has made ligue 1 interesting at least

[rincon]

a mistake from Motta triggers the 2-0

Emery chasing the game with Motta-Krychowiak-Rabiot

[farfan]

Emery and Cavani single handedly making LOL 1 competitive again .

[Pip]

Cavani frustrates me so much. He could have scored 3 goals in the first half! The first one, he pulls out of the challenge with Lafont. The second one, a fluke save. The third one, header right at Lafont.

[Lord Awesome]

Damn, Emery really struggling to give Paris any consistency. Can't believe it's Nice of all clubs to be running away with it. They're confident and tough right now.

[BarcaLearning]

Loving it, go Balotelli, imagine if he leads Nice to the title

[sportsczy]

Again, both Blanc and Carlo started their tenures in similar fashion... namely they sucked for about 2 months lol. OM was running away with the league when Blanc started and Montpellier actually caught and beat out PSG when Carlo started.

It's just a transition. Systems are far too different from Blanc to Emery for the players to pick it up quickly. Also, you can't blame Cavani for this one. Those were good takes. Keeper just made incredible saves.

Emery is making mistakes however. But the players will catch up to him soon enough.

[McAgger]

Nice win again

Top of the table. 4 points ahead of PSG.

[Pip]

Four times already this season where Pastore is injured/benched (Monaco, ASSE, Toulouse, Ludogorets) and you get terrible performances from the rest of the team. Di María also struggling a lot without Pastore. Changing back to 4-3-3 is a disaster for Emery.

This team needs Pastore more than you think.

[Rev]

PSG 2 up against Bordeux after 40 minutes, Cavani double

[RealGunner]

Monaco winning 7-0 away to Metz. Never thought I'd see this day

[Lord Awesome]

Monaco. Jardim (& Emery) giving us real hope for the title.

[Lord Awesome]

Also Cavani's actually thriving now the Ibra's gone. One positive for Emery at least.

[sportsczy]

It's crazy how many chances Cavani creates for himself with his constant movement... he's already scored 11 goals in 8 starts... and he should probably be at 15-20 goals in the 8 starts

[Lord Awesome]

Yeah, and that's what makes Cavani the relevant player that he is. His attacking presence justifies his lack of accuracy in his finishing. That coupled with his work rate make him a constant threat to opposing teams through the 90 mins. He's able to create his own opportunities and I think that is his best game.

[Lord Awesome]

Also just found out Ballotelli is suspended for next match. This could be the chance Monaco have been waiting for.

[BarcaLearning]

The suspension has been cancelled I read since the ref. reported his error later on?

[rincon]

Yeah, he admitted to the error and the whole reffing committee agreed to overturned his, and the other guy's, yellow.

[Lord Awesome]

Saw the incident just make sure.

I think it's a fair decision. Ballo didn't do squat.

[RealGunner]

Nice-Lyon in 30 minutes lads

[sportsczy]

The fact that Lyon went into the season with only Lacazette as a true CF is amazing to me...

[RealGunner]

Yup. Fekir isn't a striker and never will be. He's good enough to start up though but it's equivalent of Arshaving starting upfront.

This should be high scoring. Nice still unbeaten.

[sportsczy]

They're saying Tolisso is going to play CF????

Granted, he's been very good as an attacking player with France U23... but come on lol.

[RealGunner]

Can't see it. He's behind Fekir as a 10.
