Lyon dangerous so far. Denied a penalty too.

PSG's defence is why they won't do well in the CL later on.

by Hapless_Hans Sun Sep 17, 2017 8:11 pm

Clear penalty for Lyon denied!

by rincon Sun Sep 17, 2017 8:12 pm

Switched here after the Madrid goal. Agree with @RG the gaps in this defense are too big. Lyon catching them on the counter too easily.

Meanwhile, Neymar loses every single ball he gets Laughing

by RealGunner Sun Sep 17, 2017 8:21 pm

Ndombele looks very good for Lyon

by RealGunner Sun Sep 17, 2017 8:22 pm

Neymar

Neymar

What kind of game is this from him?

A typical one

Neymar has seriously ruined every attack that has gone through him. Draxler keeping it simple is a LOT more effective. Mbappe hasn't been good but hasn't been too bad either. Cavani by far the best of the front 3.

PSG could use another mid in place of Neymar.

Lyon are pretty shit in their own right though.

Keep giving away really stupid balls in their own half, and in the attacking half they have a bunch of headless chicken

by sportsczy Sun Sep 17, 2017 8:56 pm

They're trying to be too cute. But Emery is spineless so he won't correct it.

by RealGunner Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:00 pm

All of them are trying to play like its a futsal match lol. Tricks, back heels, rabonas. Like just do a 1-2 and you'll be through but someone has to try and impress the crowd.

they should still win though.

by sportsczy Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:01 pm

Neymar hasn't gotten used to the fact... he won't get a foul just for someone being near you, which is what happens in La Liga. You need to get legit fouled to get calls in Ligue 1 so defenders can be more aggressive. Also, refs don't hand out cards like candy.

by sportsczy Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:03 pm

Cavani for all his physical prowess and scoring stats... really reminds me of Mario Gomez. Literally has negative technique lol.

by Hapless_Hans Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:20 pm

Lyon's attackers are not in sync at all. Terrible stuff.

by RealGunner Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:20 pm

Marcelo MOTM so far.

by sportsczy Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:20 pm

I really like Draxler

by sportsczy Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:21 pm

Kurzawa hasn't hit his target in his last 100 crosses all comps.

Draxler playing an Iniesta role tonight

Did you see the freekick thing lol? Dani Alves shielding the ball away from Cavani so Neymar could take it Laughing

Can already see the Brazilian contingent bullying the rest of the team

by sportsczy Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:24 pm

Well Neymar should be taking all FKs and PKs. He's better at it than Cavani.

by RealGunner Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:28 pm

HOLY SHIT IF THAT HAD GONE IN
