PSG have played many games with Messi so far, but until now messi has not shown his best performance with PSG, I think the many star players at PSG make it seem like messi has been left out of the team because of the player's ego and we can see how few good passes there are what messi got from other PSG players and this was different from when messi was still a Barcelona player, which at that time messi got the full trust of other Barcelona players.
After leaving Barcelona in some controversial way and having here in PSG Messi is really not good enough because just 1 goal and 3 assists from his standard it is very poor but here we have too many problems because PSG is never been an ideal combination it's all about money they have world-class players but sadly coach unable to create a good and successful combination which give them better results but currently as rumors working around Mbappe is going and then hopefully they will be able to have some better strategy because it's very important for them to create some better and lethal combination in presence of these best and quality players which can give them better results in domestic and Champions League.

Probably Messi will have to change the way he plays, like Ronaldo did. He is not on same team, not in same league and he doesnt have the same age. It seems that he wants to play the same way on different conditions. Lets see if its adaptation time or something else

I mean the players in the team have to be able to make the best use of Messi's abilities on the pitch. Giving the ball more for him because only then Messi is more involved in a series of deadly attacks to score goals or provide assists to his teammates. Actually I do not see Messi is experiencing a decline in form, but there are many assists that Messi creates that other players don't score. Look how he gives Mbappe lots of chances, but most of them fail to score.

Ligue 1 became unpredictable, PSG failing to win and almost lost and today the same thing happened to OL, I don't trust it anymore, a lot of unpredictable things are happening, even Marseille lost after they were leading in the match, crazy stuff.
Yep, the French league this time is hard to predict, many have lost money from the 17th game of 38 matches ago. even Messi looks bad, some say that Messi's bad appearance is because of the cold weather in France but I'm not sure that's the cause.

Actually I agree with your opinion about their coach. He works 100% for his team and I think the players do the same. But the coach's strategy will largely determine the results his team will get in every game and we might think that Pochettino has problem managing a big team like PSG as well as one inhabited by top players. Pochettino has players that other team in Europe dream of like Neymar, Mbappe, Messi, Veratti, Ramos and other big names on the bench. However, when the strategy applied is not in accordance with the potential and abilities of the players, this will only make the team experience a decline in performance, especially in terms of scoring goals. I can't say the players don't really understand how Messi plays, they have to be able to use Messi to make a lot of goalscoring attempts.
Pochettino always applies a good strategy but always fails to bring in more goals and even if Messi is not hungry for goals in league 1.
In essence Pochettino has to deal with new tactics.

Bordeaux 2 - 2 Olympique Lyonnais
this was a very irritating game, I confess that I stopped watching after 70 minutes, I lost my multi because those from Olympique Lyonnais couldn't win, predicting results for this league is increasingly difficult for me. maybe it's good for me to take some vacations and focus on other leagues
It's unbelievable that they can't even beat Bordeaux
sorry for your loss, that was a terrible performance from lyon, they were even lucky they didn't lose, Bordeaux almost scored at the end of the match but the goalkeeper saved it, Ligue 1 became unpredictable, PSG failing to win and almost lost and today the same thing happened to OL, I don't trust it anymore, a lot of unpredictable things are happening, even Marseille lost after they were leading in the match, crazy stuff. this was a very irritating game, I confess that I stopped watching after 70 minutes, I lost my multi because those from Olympique Lyonnais couldn't win, predicting results for this league is increasingly difficult for me. maybe it's good for me to take some vacations and focus on other leagues
After previously Lyon suffered a defeat against Reims, this should motivate them to win the match against Bordeaux which is a weak team.

Lyon just threw away their 2-1 lead which they enjoyed not until the 54th minute equalizer which came courtesy of a great counter attack which saw Alberth Elis get the goal. Had Lyon won today, they would have seen themselves move from 13th position to 8th position but since they have settled to share the points with Bordeaux they have just moved one place up to 12th position.

Even though Bordeaux only won two wins in 17 matches, Lyon should have beaten Bordeaux easily. But the match ended in a draw, even
though throughout the match Lyon dominated, even Lyon's percentage of possession was far superior to 71%. But Lyon have a defense that is
quite fragile, twice Lyon had taken the lead and twice also Bordeaux managed to equalize. It's a bad result for Lyon, I hope Lyon can show
a much better performance in the next game. Although I doubt Lyon will beat Lille in the next match, because Lille's performance has started
to improve in the last 5 matches and is unbeaten, even the last two matches Lille won in a row.

Winning in ball possession but very minimal in goal attempts and also shots on goal, results like that should not be accepted by PSG and even PSG almost lost. Indeed, the opponent is Lens who is still part of the team at the top of the standings but still, the capacity and or quality of PSG in Ligue 1 remains the main focus which promises a more interesting game but the fact is not so. Indeed, the points that have been obtained by PSG so far seem no longer able to be overtaken but that does not mean they can play casually. Because after all, each player has his own target for a desired achievement, I'm sure they are not satisfied with this result because actually PSG could have produced better results.
Too much possession of the ball and not having but the chances are not used well even PSG 2x drew for me this is an unsatisfactory result for us considering the good performances and with a lot of superstar players.With points far away PSG are quite relaxed in the domestic league and I believe the champions of league 1 will be early with the points won.
I'm still a little doubtful at UCL whether they can win their first title? considering that sometimes in the domestic league which is currently difficult against the top 5 teams in league one and in the UCL, the opponent will be even more difficult in his test for PSG.
They have been close to winning it in the past and it is not like they couldn't at all. They can, but in these very important games it seems they lack a few percentage points of focus compared to the other teams. PSG literally breaks apart for no reason in specific situations on the top level. That wouldn't happen to Bayern or Liverpool.
Yes, and that happens every year no matters what team or coach is in. Is like a club own identity
I wouldn't go that far. If they make it to the final it would be dumb to believe that they have no chance to also win it. It just became obvious a couple of times in close games that they lost their nerves completely. The very best example was the 6 to 1 against Barcelona when they won the first leg 4 to 0...

I can imagine how many multi-bets burned yesterday because of PSG 
Draw 1-1, Messi didn’t score again and in general their game doesn’t look very good - Lance looked no worse yesterday, but this team is clearly not rated as one of the strongest in European football. I'm afraid that PSG may well be knocked out of the Champions League in the 1/8 finals if they get on a strong team (this is very likely given that PSG will take second place in the group).
What do you think about the PSG coach, the team's performance drops when the best players are with them. PSG's game strategy is very easy to read by the opposing team, only by pressing high will PSG have difficulty playing longer with the ball. Lens didn't let PSG get many chances and control the game. The defense area scheme with man to man guard managed to make it difficult for PSG to develop the game. Just look at the previous few matches, all the teams against PSG implemented this scheme and managed to hold PSG to a draw until the end of the match.Draw 1-1, Messi didn’t score again and in general their game doesn’t look very good - Lance looked no worse yesterday, but this team is clearly not rated as one of the strongest in European football.

Unfortunately, it is difficult for me to judge him as a coach due to the fact that I know quite a little about him and his views on football. Because of this, I can’t compare what he wants with what comes out and I’m not even sure that he manages the team 100%. It's quite difficult when your team is a bunch of wayward stars. If you look at the names, the team is performing worse than it should, but I cannot blame only the coach for this because I do not know the whole inner workings of PSG.
As for the game schemes, I would not say that it gives you any advantage if you know the opponent's game scheme (at least if we are talking about the top teams) - everyone knew how Barcelona would play (in its starry times), but for that it took several years to come up with an effective counter-scheme, and even when this scheme became 100% known, only a few teams could implement it.

I was one of those people who got caught up in this match and I get annoyed with things like this.Draw 1-1, Messi didn’t score again and in general their game doesn’t look very good - Lance looked no worse yesterday, but this team is clearly not rated as one of the strongest in European football.

but indeed this is football regardless of how good the team is and how good the players in it are but still it relies on 11 players on the field with high consistency for 90 minutes.
and PSG I feel they are too easy to read in terms of tactics and formation.
Does Poche really want to be sacked because of rumors with MU?
or indeed Poche is already very difficult in determining the formation because there are many players with star labels there

Rennes are really having a great season this time around, and currently they are winning four goals to nil against St Etienne . By the way, this is a big result too as they are not just winning away from home but this also means they get to leap frog Marseille to go second temporary depending on how the results come later this afternoon from the teams yet to play.
In current season two teams are doing very good even they have no resources as few teams enjoying in French League but their current results giving very good impression in this season and their current form is also very good even both having not serious challenge for leaders PSG but if they are able to perform like this then surely these both can give shocking results in this season's end.Rennes and Brest both are doing very good with very impressive results and now having second and 10th spot when some good teams are badly struggling to stay at top and having very serious threats from them Marseille, Monaco, Lyon and Lille all having very poor run let's watch how they are going to end because it's very important for having some entertaining end of this season when PSG alone standing for champion title.

Brest are doing impressively great.
After their first ten bad games, lossing five and drawing five,now they're here winning five out of five taking them to the top 7 in the French league.
The Coach honestly did well by winning for the second time against Marseille.
I would have assumed that Brest would not be able to pull something like this off. It also shows that how quickly you could recover in league system. I mean you have 10 bad games but then you have 5 game streak and you are at top 7 suddenly. 5 points out of 10 games, versus 15 points in 5 games. It is really cool to see teams recover, same happened with Arsenal in EPL as well, they were at the bottom for a while if I am not wrong and now they are fighting for the top, or at least UCL entry position.After their first ten bad games, lossing five and drawing five,now they're here winning five out of five taking them to the top 7 in the French league.

These are the things that usually show that team is actually good, they just had bad stretch, it wasn't some roster change or new superstar signing or something like that which resulted with it, same team but different approach and different mindset could turn a team from nearly bottom to nearly top, which is wonderful to see and optimistic for teams at the bottom as well.
