Montpellier manage sometimes to make surprises but what I find it ridiculous is to see PSG winning most of the games while their direct followers dropping points easily that way. Look at nice, they lost against Troyes, a team that's worse than Montpellier.. PSG is now leading with 9 points difference after just 10 games!
I am not sure what is the big surprise to see PSG winning 9 matches, they played well and won the games and they only lost one match and a single draw. The second place Lens drew 3 matches and lost 2 matches and today if Marseille wins the match against Lorient which they probably win then they will be in the second position.
Didn't say that seeing PSG winning is surprising lol!
I said Montpellier can make surprises. Then I said it is ridiculous to see PSG's opponents like Lens and Nice dropping points easily. Even OM is dropping points except this game against Lorient where they won 4-1.. They will face PSG next weekend BTW, we will see what they could do Wink

I admit Paris Saint-Germain is doing very well, but I can't understand why Marseille and other teams are so far behind. Marseille failed to win three games in a row. Now it's a big morale to win this Lorient game. Next week they will play with Paris Saint-Germain. After that, their fixture is a little more comfortable. Let's also remind that they will play against Lazio on Thursday.
Lens's loss to Montpellier was unexpected. Paris Saint-Germain is very comfortable in the league now. They are nine points ahead of their closest rivals and we're still in the tenth week of the league.
The answer is obvious, PSG won 9 games out of ten, I think that no one team can keep up with such a pace if they do not have such finances as PSG or Man City. At this rate, PSG will already be able to become champions of Ligue 1, long before the end of the season. But there is no intrigue in this, no struggle. And if PSG are kicked out of the Champions League in the early stages, then they will be very bored to play only in the French League.

Recently Marseille are going down in quality just because of this now they are much behind Leaders PSG even they have one match in hand, but gape is too big for them and their Europa form is also very poor in last match they held by Turkish club at home which is also serious issue for them. Currently, PSG is doing some good but with other teams they are much ahead in quality which is just because of big spending in transfers.

French League biggest issue is money which is not coming like PSG so if they have this solution then surely with some good quality players they can give some more tough competition to PSG but right now it's not possible for any other French club.

Marseille back to winning after three games and they won big at home with 4 1 against lorient but still a good game from the visitors they created many chances and they were really dangerous especially in the first half but unlucky for them payet and guendouzi were back at their top form and first goal for milik after coming back from a long injury.

Honestly PSG played "okay" at best. Just because they won the game doesn't mean that they were the better team, we are talking about clear difference between the levels of two teams and this should have been an easier game for them. I understand that it doesn't look like a proper situation and there were many players missing the game so that is why PSG was weaker this game.

However even with those players missing, the players that played in the game still 10x better than the players on Angers, or at least on paper that is. When you watched the game, it wasn't like PSG was clearly better, it was more like they were close levels teams when in fact we know that they are not even remotely close. Hell put Mbappe on Angers and it would be barely close, I would still favor PSG a little bit more, they would be head to head in that case with PSG only a slight edge, but we know Mbappe is at PSG so it was a weird game for PSG to have so much trouble.

Montpellier, the 16th team in the points table, won today against Lens, who are in second place on the points table. I lost the bet and was surprised at the same time. The Lens team is playing well this season. Their performance was stable compared to other teams. But their defeat against a small team like Montpellier today was completely unexpected. However, the performance of both the teams was very good today. Both teams have attacked a lot and tried a lot to score goals.

I think Ramos have come back last match when PSG faced with Anger but when checking they not on the player list will play on that game, right now have new information about Ramos got injury again and make him will be long time not play for PSG. Most waiting performance and Ramos play on this year for PSG but still can't see his performance for PSG, but still waiting when Ramos come back to the field and give good performance for PSG.
In the 10 match PSG have played in Ligue 1 then we can see that they have conceded 10 goals which means PSG have a problem to solve in their defence. The opposing team will find it easier to exploit their defense and score goals and this is a serious problem in my opinion. Ramos has not played in PSG match so far due to injury, of course he can help the defense to be stronger than now. But he hasn't been able to do so since his arrival but looks likely to get minute soon after the injury heals.

PSG's attack is the best in Europe right now no doubt, but they are lacking structure in the defense. Kimpembe and Marquinhos are good but don't know why they are conceding so many goals. Ramos could be a very important part of the defense. Ramos is no doubt one of the best defenders in the world with his experience, awareness, and positioning. Hoping he will return very soon on the pitch.
I don't know what's going on in PSG's back line at the moment, for sure when in their game they seem to lack communication between defenders, besides that they seem to be too easy to let go of opposing players both in marking and duels.
should be with the condition of the players who are all adequate and can be said to be tough defenders for big teams they should be better.
to be honest in terms of defense I prefer to see nice than PSG

The Montpellier club has a very interesting history.  Incredible victories alternate with crushing defeats.  

Football Club "Montpellier" was founded back in 1919.  At the beginning of 2000, Montpellier was expelled from the 1st league.

And in the 2006/2007 season, miraculously did not get from the 2nd to the 3rd league.

I remember these dramatic events well.  

May 21, 2012 Montpellier became the champion.  It was a victory over the Association de la Jeunesse Auxerroise.  

Montpellier is an absolutely unpredictable football team.  Any result can be expected from her.  She knows how to surprise

PSG has enough players that they could actually do something that they would not need Messi or Neymar honestly because they have good enough players. I mean Mbappe is by far the best player in that situation.. However they have Di Maria and Icardi as well which means that they have a great roster without Messi or Neymar as well.
Mbappe is young and still can grow more. Because he is young, he can recover fastly after matches. Messi is already old and he now playing with his experience and skills that are sharpened in many years of his career. Neymar is no longer young and with his unprofessional style, he won't be able to take care of his body so well.

Di Maria is a player from the same generation of Messi and Neymar. Icardi is not given a good position in PSG and even he is a good player, he needs time and real matches, not training and on the bench.

I doubt PSG will go further in the Champions League this season if the coach cant find the best formula for his team. PSG's last few match in Ligue 1 have been very difficult because the players have struggled to score goals. It's not about how many star players you have, but how effective they are at creating chance and scoring goals. Messi only scored 1 goal for PSG, that too in the Champions League, when he return to France I hope he score more with Neymar and also Mbappe.
There is enough time for Ramos to recover from his injury and enough time for Ramos and Messi to adapt to PSG tactics and players there. PSG can wait them for Champions League but you are right, Pochettino must find a good tactic and positions to use Ramos and Messi.

Messi can be the key for PSG in big matches in Champions League. One free kick, one magnificent shot from Messi can change all. However, PSG must improve their defense and Ramos can be helpful for them with his experience. He can help only he is at his best. So far, Ramos did not have any match for PSG.

last year champions Lille continue to lose points with weak teams. today Clermont beat Lille 1-0 with goal on 32nd minute from Vital Nsimba. Lille had 60 minutes to score an equalizer but result stood.
I wouldn't call Clermont as a weak team regarding their surprising results in Ligue 1 comparing to what we were expecting from them at the beginning. The problem is that Lille became an average team, losing easily vs everyone..
Lyon 2 - 0 Monaco, well I was waiting for BTTS here regardless of the winner.

IMHO I think the job is too big for him to handle,if he doesn't get the right system of play into he's player's, Chance's of taking the Champions League is no longer sure.
Sergio Ramos is a defender that has shown the world he's best,still capable of doing more but he's he been paired with the right person at the backline ?
Messi as well he has Neymar alongside, expected much more than I'm actually seeing.
PSG are doing them self harm without selling Mbappe last season, letting a player that will give you 100 million go is a no brainier, too dumped for my licking......if Mbappe want a move he shouldn't be held back but granted.

 Lens is one of the club doing greatly in the Ligue 1 this season, they are behind PSG on the standings and their performance is their last match was good. They will however be facing Montpellier in an away match today. Montpellier don't seems to be a strong team, but they might give Lens a tough time winning the game. Therefore, Lens have to play carefully, losing this game can risk thier position on the table. Because they are just 2 points ahead of Nice who will be playing against Troyes.

I believe that there is a chance that they could be winning the league if those two players did not play at all for the whole year and that is the important part right now while people do not understand how important the players they already have. I get that people are expecting a lot more from them with the players they have and when there is missing players then everyone thinks that they are going to be worse but even when worse they are still better.

Lille showed that last year they won by pure luck. This season they keep losing to weaker teams and probobly wont even get in top 5 clubs this season. Really disappointed in them was hoping to actully make PSG work hard for that title but i think we already know the winner this year
