Ligue 1 2018/19

[Evilo]

Monaco losing against, this time at Strasbourg. But man were they unlucky in this game.

 

[John Pedro]

Lille what a turnaround from last season. Could watch (wasted time watching a terrible Devils game), but they won again with goals from Pepe and Araujo. 22 pts, if not for PSG perfect start...

 

[Evilo]

Well Depay probably got a talking to after the midweek game because he's actually much less selfish today and has two nice assists.

He'll probably get back to his usual self after the game, but still it's worth noting.

 

[Evilo]

Well second assist was written off for tight offside.

 

[Evilo]

And Traore actually made a defensive play in his own zone. First in a while.

 

[YNWA14]

Then Memphis scores the game winner in the 87th as well. Not too shabby for a 40 minute appearance.

 

[Evilo]

Yup, a simple tap in after a great pass by Dembele. That said, he was less selfish today, as I stated and Traore made a few defensive efforts (in the second half). So Genesio probably thought the same after the mid week game and gave them a good talking to.

 

[Evilo]

And there it goes. Interviewed at the end of the game, Depay whined that he wasn't respected for his value and that he should start every game...

This guy is a headcase.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Monaco can’t be relegated. Won’t be relegated.


...right?

 

[Evilo]

Probably will save themselves through their talent in key moments when confidence is higher.
But won't be close to a european spot, that's for sure.

 

[John Pedro]

Lille won again yesterday goal scored by portuguese prospect Rafael Leão. PSG winning the derby today gonna be a nice result for them, they aren't winning the league so better to concentrate in qualifying for UCL or EL.

 

[Evilo]

Mbappe and Rabiot on the bench for the clasico. Imagine if they had Depay's level.

Anyway, Tuchel seems determine to win with several backups.

 

[Evilo]

To sum up, PSG will be without :
Alves, Kurzawa, Silva, Cavani (injured), Kimpembe (suspended), Rabiot (sick this week), Mbappe (coach choice).

 

[Savi]

What formation are they playing? Seriously, I'm reading the starting lineup and can't make anything of it

 

[Evilo]

3-5-2

 

[John Pedro]

lol

Mbappé scored on his first touch, this kid is unreal.

 

[Evilo]

He really is.

 

[John Pedro]

Didn't see foul on Marquinhos there, PSG caught a huge break imo. should at least consult VAR

 

[Juve]

There wasn't. He should have been given a yellow card.

 

[Evilo]

VAR was consulted.

 

[John Pedro]

Draxler! 2-0

 

[Evilo]

Draxler! 2-0

Mbappe with the assist.

 

[John Pedro]

11 games, 11 wins

not bad

 

[John Pedro]

Mbappe with the assist.

the hockey assist, he passed to Neymar that missed the shot then Draxler scored.

 

[Evilo]

Hmm, I looked from far from the TV, but wasn't it a great pass from Neymar, a missed shot from Mbappe and the goal from Draxler?
