Ligue 1 23-24

[Savi]

Matic threw a tantrum to leave Rennes for Lyon.
Funny enough, calendar made Lyon host Rennes tonight.
3-0 Rennes and we're not even at halftime.
Doue with a great assist and a wonder goal.

I'm surprised to see Fofana is already starting
Still weird to see that Lyon team on paper, being so bad on the field

Lopez has been horrible. They have had tough luck too and have lost their confidence. Their D is awful.
Lyon has a real chance of going down, it's quite incredible when you see the individual quality.

Barcola superstar.

Barcola superstar.

Good player, little end result. But still very young, and Coman's injury opens up a spot for him on the bench for the NT.

MOTM tonight so far.

Lille end result? Wonder assist and secondary assist tonight..

This is not ice hockey. And a goal contribution every 182 minutes for a team like PSG isn't ok.

That's stat looking. Guy had very few minutes in the first part of the season but since he's starting the last few 5-6 weeks, he's been phenomenal.
And again, you can be an incredible player without adding goal or assists when playing wing. Case in point : Dembele.

And Barcola just got a yellow card for just walking and touching nodoby...

 

[luiginb]

We have differences in what we consider incredible. And even Dembele has one every 172 minutes.

Red card for boy incredible haha

(If you check our post history I hyped him here before you did)

 

[Evilo]

And a red card now for Barcola
Second yellow is deserved, first one is hilarious.

Yes, the Dembele example is exactly what I said.
And Luis Enrique stated Dembele creates the most unbalance for defenses in the world. And I agree with him.

 

[luiginb]

Sometimes I miss the unique brand of chaos Dembele brought to Barcelona, and his passes. Not his shots though, definitely not his shots.

 

[Evilo]

Brest is a mystery to me. They're a very average team with average players who never struck me as particularly good. Their coach is a known asshole and incompetent in every coaching job he's had.
But they're having a great season, and it's not like they're lucky, they fully deserve their points so far.
They seem to play so well together.

Turpin at his best. He gave a yellow for this and a second yellow 2 minutes later (for a bookable offense this time).

There's obvious contact from the other angle. Even from this one if you pay attention.

 

[Evilo]

And yet it's not a foul. And even less of a yellow card.

 

[luiginb]

Amateur hour in Ligue 1. Penalty for PSG, the camera on Mbappe's face, he approaches the ball, he misses (I guess?) because the camera never leaves his face!! hahahhahaha and they still haven't shown the full replay from an outer angle. I've never seen this level of broadcasting. Shocking

 

[Evilo]

Yeah they showed it. Absolutely crazy good save from a guy who had zero L1 appearance (Sels' replacement).

They just did. 28th minute. Have you ever seen something like that before?

 

[Evilo]

Frankly I don't know I saw it a bunch of times already since it was stopped Different broadcast?

Now that goalie makes an amateur mistake and Mbappe scores in the empty net.

 

[luiginb]

Strasbourg aren't playing badly and might even get a result here but their individual mistakes are killing them. That goalkeeper should stick to saves and not play out from the back, he's been burnt once and close to be twice.

Asensio makes it 2-0. He's making a case he should be a starter, onthe rare occasions he's actually been fit to play he's looked very good.

Great game of football, Strasbourg get one back after an amazing cross by Chelsea loanee Angelo, who's been impressive. Then Donnarumma saves PSG's ass twice more to keep them one goal up.

Man, Strasbourg supporters DO NOT like Mbappe, booing him like Saudis booed Kroos haha ... and Strasbourg miss another glorious chance.

PSG hold on to win 2-1, but Donnarumma was their MOTM

 

[Evilo]

Caqueret with a dominant second half against Montpellier and probably wins it with a screamer from the wrong foot.

Would you say Lyon is more likely stay up at this point?

 

[koyvoo]

They were always way too talented to stay at the very bottom of the table.

 

[Power Man]

lol totally forgot Benrahma moved to Lyon

 

[Evilo]

Would you say Lyon is more likely stay up at this point?

Yes. Their recruitment has added a lot although their defense is still very questionnable.

@Evilo

Why is Jake O'Brien serving a suspension today for a red card from a month ago?
