Re: Ligue 1 19/20

I get there's a talent gap... but do you need to play tactics that make the gap seem even wider? How stupid can you be? Sit back for FFS and crowd the middle. Without Neymar, you don't have dribblers in tight areas. Di Maria doesn't do well if he's crowded.

It was just insane.

PSG currently losing 2 1 to Dijon.

There is something I love about a weaker team desperately defending a lead.

by Doc Sun Nov 10, 2019 7:34 pm

I know it's Ligue 1 and trust me, after trying to watch PSG yesterday, it really is meh but as the ONLY unbias poster when it comes to Ligue 1 business, I shall watch the Choc des Olympiques for the sake of the forum.

Wish me luck.

Lyon is hot fucking garbage, no idea why they exist as a team. Meanwhile, Payet and Marseille is actually playing decent to good. And the fans in the stadium are having a grand time too. Good half of football, can't complain.

by Doc Sun Nov 10, 2019 9:37 pm

So Marseille is doing their very best to blow a 2 goal lead. Love it. Both are actually hot fucking garbage but I like Marseille's uniform.

by sportsczy Sun Nov 10, 2019 11:37 pm

Well it wasn't horrible. We suck... no doubt about it. But it's always better to suck less than Lyon.

AVB having his own redemption arc in Ligue 1

Marseille are brilliant.

or, The French League has become total and utter garbage.

Anyway, still plenty of time for Marseilles to end in mid-table.

Meanwhile OM is only 2 points behind PSG...

PSG with 2 games in hand hmm

They'll lose the one in Monaco. 5 point lead. That's not unsurmountable especially when PSG gets bumped out of CL and all the players go on vacation in March....

by halamadrid2 Thu Dec 05, 2019 7:40 am

They have Keylord now. He's been their best player since the start of the season. They're not losing this lead with him in goal

by sportsczy Sat Dec 07, 2019 3:36 am

Navas has not been anywhere near the best player for PSG since the beginning of the season. Di Maria, Mbappe, Silva, Icardi and then Navas. In 2 of their league losses, he was a calamity.

But that doesn't matter. He barely has anything to do in league games. Elimination round CL games is where all the PSG players will be asked to show.

by halamadrid2 Sat Dec 07, 2019 9:51 am

If it weren't for Navas they'd finish 2nd in the CL group. He's been saving their asses week in week out

Has been the MOTM 3 games in a row and 4 times out of the last 5 games. Spare me!! Without him they'll go back to being the laughing stock they were pre-Keylord. ADM has been excellent too, much better than the two players stealing the limelight

by Doc Sun Dec 08, 2019 9:28 pm

Wouldn't lie, watching Ligue 1 is actually a chore. And by Ligue 1, it's just Marseille and PSG. That being said, reading what Hala wrote about Navas and saving PSG, not exactly true. PSG could have any random keeper and still be winning games. Talent gap and all that. Navas did really well in our return match but he hasn't exactly been Lev Yashin in France but I'm glad to see him nonetheless.

Also, Marseille actually playing decent football. And I am stretching the decent.

No OM is playing well... mainly because the Euro is coming and Payet sees an opportunity lol. Dude is the most talented, but unprofessional, player i have ever seen. He only shows up in WC and Euro years.

AVB is doing a good job shockingly. We have structure for once.

That said, I fully expect an epic collapse at some point.

Ligue 1, sigh. I can't understand a country produces really good footballers and yet quite a few of the Ligue 1 teams tend to be bland, boring or plain bad.

As for Toulouse, I think I watched 2 of their matches outside of PSG/Marseille/Lyon and I cannot remember anything from them.

As long as France calls him up for the next internationals (last chance for Euro). If he doesn't get selected, I predict that he'll be nowhere to be found for the rest of the year...

i guess players are using game time as gateway to big club move ...
ibrahim sangare is a damn good player dunno what is he doing in toulouse then XD

i expected OSG Nice to be up there ; rennes / bordeaux to be more challenging
monaco has fallen badly too ...

Goal-line technology will not be operational in tonight's Ligue 1 clash between Nice & Toulouse because rats have eaten through some vital electric cables. (France Bleu)
