Ligue 1 2017/18

[Savi]

Wow. Huge chance for ASSE there

 

[Evilo]

What a great save by Areola. So quick to send that leg to the ball, well done.

 

[booyakasha]

such a soft call. Cavani went down so easily.
a few minutes later he flops again, but to no avail.

 

[Evilo]

Yeah but frankly in live action that was a no brainer foul.

 

[YNWA14]

Surprised they didn't give Neymar penalty duty.

 

[booyakasha]

Yeah but frankly in live action that was a no brainer foul.

true, the luxury of replay at home has made me a bit jaded, as the refs have a hard time...I thought the 2nd one looked more flagrant in real time, but didn't get called.

 

[Evilo]

There are some questions about Neymar not taking penalties. But Cavani rarely misses.

 

[booyakasha]

Neymar has been hot and cold for me so far this game.
Rabiot, brilliant as always.

 

[Evilo]

Neymar could be for PSG what Messi is for Barca. Someone who accelerates the game on a team that likes to keep possession.
Sometimes, PSG could have trouble changing rythm. Neymar does that to them. He alwyas accelerates the game, something he didn't always do at Barca in fact. He seems to have been set free in a way.
It's his team, he's in a free role and creates for him and others.

Yes, this is Neymar's worst game so far, but of course, PSG is struggling as well.

 

[Evilo]

And yes Rabiot is so underrated. Amazing player.

 

[booyakasha]

Yes, this is Neymar's worst game so far, but of course, PSG is struggling as well.

Lets see what comes 2nd half.
I hope a better showing collectively.....though not taking anything away from AS Saint-Étienne, as they came in with a good game plan, and are playing rather well despite being a goal down.

 

[Evilo]

Yes Sainté are playing well defensively. But PSG are lazy so far. Pastore seems lost. Transfer talk clearly going into his head.

 

[Evilo]

What a terrible first half for PSG. No movement, no imagination, lazyness all around (ADM, Pastore, I'm looking at both of you).
St Etienne actually look better, but no team had more than a chance each.

 

[booyakasha]

what a goal....that's how you attack on a set piece.

 

[Evilo]

That foul and daddy slap on Neymar has woken him up.

 

[Evilo]

Kimpembe is developing into a monster.

 

[Savi]

This game is a snoozefest compared to the one against Toulouse

Cavani has been terrible as well

 

[Evilo]

Yep. Not very good PSG that's for sure.

Trapp is looking at Areola making another great save

 

[John Pedro]

Kimpembe is developing into a monster.

Areola too!

really funny seeing them focusing on Trapp after every Areola's save.

 

[Savi]

Di Maria

 

[Evilo]

Areola too!

really funny seeing them focusing on Trapp after every Areola's save.

Yeah ! lol

Di Maria has to go. He's starting this season exactly like he started the last one. 5 months of good football isn't worth the salary he's making.

 

[Evilo]

Turpin's insistance on not calling any foul on Neymar is ridiculous. He's fouled everytime he touches the ball because of this.

 

[John Pedro]

Lo Celso in, nice.

 

[Savi]

Turpin's insistance on not calling any foul on Neymar is ridiculous. He's fouled everytime he touches the ball because of this.

He's really not, don't let Neymar fool you. Everytime he gets touched a bit he just stops playing and watches the ref. It was one of the things that was driving me crazy when he was at Barça.
