Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

How did PSG look without Neymar the other night in the CL?

Better because Mbappe got the keys.

The weird dynamic between the two is that they can both play well if Mbappé accepts to stay up front but sometimes he wants to be a playmaker too. The best games they had together was against Bayern when Ney was a pure 10 and Mbappe was a pure 9. That's when it works.

But now with Messi, it's overkill so that's why I think Messi and Mbappe should just play up front with Ney as a 10 and let Ney and Messi switch roles but just keep Kylian as a pure 9.

Neymar-Mbappé-Messi isnt working and overall PSG doesnt play well at all. They rely on their individual brillance but against a better organized team, the team is easily out maneuvered

I still think they need to play a 352 but this is not a system Poch plays.

Poch’s in over his head also

Whats the OMs coach name? He looks and acts like Agassi on coke...

Sampaoli. He's a good one but last WC, man was coaching Argentina and he did some truly baffling choices.

 

[bigdaddy88]

Bastian aint got the connections with ole like them other ex players. Told the truth

I hate when he does that because he's not very good at it and it just looks like he's trying way too hard to compete with his own teammates.

I dont think he has much choice though. Coaching PSG is probably the hardest job, dude has no say in the recruitment and has to manage huge egos. We know Poch is a pressing oriented coach and he's probably dead inside whenever he sees Messi and Mbappé walking up front. At least Ney does some pressing.

It's a leg breaker and you get reds for them



You've seen those type of tackles break the likes of Diaby, Ramsey and Eduardo so I'm surprised by your reaction

Diaby and Eduardo were different, and Ramsey was debatable to me.

This was a yellow card tackle

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I'll take the 0-0 in that mess.. ref was absurd

Ronnie could have got a red card as well today.



Bruno possibly too.

The fact that the ref gave him a yellow without hesitation, let's me know it was a yellow.

This is one off these by the letter red card. Not a naked eye red card

I enjoyed Neville juelzing for Ole on Sky's youtube channel. Carragher was pleading with him to speak some sense, literally pleading
