GWT: Ligue 1 R17 GOTW

[Evilo]

This one was an easy choice.

Lens-PSG !
Saturday 9PM Paris time

On one side you have one of the most interesting teams to look at in Europe. Players from lower levels, from obscure foreign leagues, from Ligue 2, youngsters with promise or even vets who once were hyped and disappointed (Fofana, Kakuta) with one of the most tactically sound coach right now in the world of football. Surrounded by one of the best crowds in the world.

One other side, you have the team of the rich, filled with stars, but little collective cohesiveness and who can score on brilliant plays but can also get scored on on very simple plays.

This game has everything you need to enjoy football. Nice stadium, amazing fans, two very different styles, coaching vs pure talent, hard word vs the best technicians in the world.

Enjoy people !

Does Lens still for Cheick Doucoure?

That was always one of my under the radar guys

 

[Evilo]

Yes, he's still at Lens. And having a strong season.

 

[Evilo]

Lens players to keep an eye on :
Young striker Kalimuendo
RWB Clauss, wanted for the NT
Fofana and Kakuta, incredible

PSG players to watch :
you know everyone but Gharbi and Michut are on the bench and both are exciting youngsters.

Is Santa Clauss coming to town?

 

[Evilo]

We'll see.

 

[Evilo]

No Neymar, no Mbappe.

 

[Evilo]

Poor PSG are in for a rough night.

 

[Evilo]

PSG unable to get past the half line.

 

[Evilo]

Messi's genius almost scored a goal on PSG's only shot. Hit the post instead.

 

[Evilo]

City hasn't dominated PSG like Lens is right now.

 

[Evilo]

41% of the play has been in PSG last 30 meters, 47% in midfield and only 12 in Lens last 30.
Incredible.

 

[Evilo]

OMG what a volley ! Too bad it was on Navas, would have been quite the wonder goal.

 

[Evilo]

Lens should be up by 2 at least right now.

 

[Evilo]

PSG breathing a little better now...

 

[Evilo]

Messi

 

[Evilo]

WTF, what TF is that save????

 

[Evilo]

What an incredible halftime !
Lens stiffling PSG for 40 minutes, almost scoring a few goals and all of a sudden, PSG had two golden chances, met with two amazing saves.

What a game.

 

[Evilo]

Lens retreived 9 balls in PSG's last 30 meters. Record for most in a half over 10 years in L1.

 

[gary69]

Kakuta subbed off injured.

 

[Evilo]

Damn, wasn't Kakuta's best game, but too bad he gets off injured.

Fofana is amazing.

 

[Evilo]

Fofana humiliating Parades wow

 

[Evilo]

Fofana opens the scoring. Mistake by Navas, but deserved.
VAR will see if there was a foul on Messi.

 

[Evilo]

Awarded. Lens ahead.

 

[gary69]

That was terrible from Navas. I don't see how this keeper rotation makes sense, neither of them gets any consistency going.
