I believe there is something wrong with PSG. Indeed, PSG won against Metz but can't we miss the drama that happened, even the final goal which was also the winning goal came after Metz lost 1 player due to receiving a red card and it happened in the last minute of the match. It's funny, when the top team against the bottom team compete but the top team can't win perfectly. So in this case Messi is present or not, PSG is still in trouble and this proves that building a team is not enough just with a lot of money and I believe PSG will be destroyed in the UCL event later if the problem is not resolved immediately.

Metz 1 - 2 PSG
this game would almost end in a draw, really PSG even with so many good players is not able to perform well and has serious problems in defense and now it seems that they will start to have difficulties in attack. Today Messi didn't play, does anyone know why Messi didn't play? I didn't follow the news or analyze for this game, for this reason I don't know anything about the news about this game.
He has an injury in his knee but doesn't seems to be a serious one so he might resume playing again soon. AFAIK there isn't a fixed recovery date announced yet. this game would almost end in a draw, really PSG even with so many good players is not able to perform well and has serious problems in defense and now it seems that they will start to have difficulties in attack.

PSG was lucky to get those 3 points at the end of the game but also to see OM and the other teams sitting in the top dropping points too. Lyon flipped the result in the second half and managed to win.
If things continue like that, PSG could claim the title many rounds before the end

It looks like the real problem is not that Messi's being unable to adapt to the team yet. He didn't play against Metz due to an injury. But PSG still didn't win the game against Metz comfortably. They scored in the first minutes already but they got an answer in the same half also. And in the second half, they increased their dominance but they were barely able to score the winning goal in the last minute (90+4). This time, Hakimi was the player who saved the team. As you can remember, they won against Lyon with a last minute goal also before this game.

Metz 1 - 2 PSG
Another match where everything was decided in extra time. I must admit that no one expected such a stubborn struggle between first place and last. By the way, initially three minutes were added to the match, but it seemed to me that the referee was a little late with the final whistle and allowed PSG to win?

Metz - PSG game is going on with a 1-1 score. We are in the second half and I see that PSG are the dominant side. They found the first goal of the game very early with Hakimi. But Metz were still able to respond in the last minutes of the first half. I actually don't have any doubt that PSG will beat their opponent here. By the way, Messi is missing because of a knee injury. Now, we see Neymar - Icardi - Mbappe trio in the field. I think that PSG will score 2 more goals and be victorious.
Hakimi saved the victory for PSG scoring at 95th minute after great assist from Neymar. but overall impression from PSG performance in this match is not good. seems like they underestimated Metz.

In Ligue 1 of the French championship, they have no equal, it is a fact, and if they become champions and win the cup it will not surprise anyone and it will be unnecessary for anyone if PSG does not win the Champions League. Even if they win the Champions League, people will talk, - of course with such a line-up, you can win. ) But in fact, the team's play is not impressive, and Messi does not fit into the team, maybe it's too early and he needs time? But the same Ronaldo started to score from the first match and does it all the time.
Ligue 1 isn't competitive like other top football league. Because only PSG have the strongest lineup and they are hot favourite team in this season. Maybe they will win the match today by scoring few goals against Metz. PSG owner have the desire to win the Champions League. They should obtain it as their squad is best now.However, this is the first time for Messi to change a club in his whole career. So, it's normal to not get fit in the team within a short time. Where Ronaldo had similar experience (team changing) before and he got back into his old club.

Messi not Starting the match today,and from the look of the lineups PSG mean business. Am not expecting less than 3 goals from this team fielded today.
Current scores after 10 minutes Achraf Hakimi scores for PSG: Mets 0-1 PSG
An early goal followed later by a draw from Kouyate and the result is 1-1 in the first half.. PSG will score later for sure tho and 3 goals should be achievable imo.Current scores after 10 minutes Achraf Hakimi scores for PSG: Mets 0-1 PSG
Looking to the other games results, I see Nice and Lyon receiving 1 goal each in the first half vs not hard opponents... What a mess.

Rennes is on fire, scored 5 goals against Clermont, looking to an easy win after three loses in a row
seems that Wednesday is full of goals in all leagues, there is a tone in France so far, over1.5 in all matches, what could PSG make in Metz tonight, maybe we could expect goals there as well, over 5.5 maybe?
I doubt PSG could score that much although it is possible of course. Otherwise Rennes knocked badly Clermont with 6 goals to 0! It is incredible considering the performance shown by Clermont previously. seems that Wednesday is full of goals in all leagues, there is a tone in France so far, over1.5 in all matches, what could PSG make in Metz tonight, maybe we could expect goals there as well, over 5.5 maybe?
Meanwhile Lille won 2-1 vs Reims, surprise not surprise

Lyon should a nice pick tonight, but there is no value @1.3, waiting for HT draw to enter live

You are right. So far the PSG team has not seen any impressive gameplay. Messi has performed in 3 matches. But he could not score a goal. Neymar has not scored yet. PSG relies on Mbappe for goals. The strategy that PSG is playing now needs to change. The coach should focus on this aspect so that all the players of the team can easily adapt to any strategy. Otherwise, they will have to give up their dream of winning the Champions League despite being a strong team. Also with time Poch will understand the best way to use these player’s at his disposal, and if they win the champions league then I’ll be happy for them because they’ll win on their merits and silence their critics.
I'm not saying Messi failed at PSG. But he has played 3 matches. His performance has not improved yet. Although I think PSG players are not as friendly as Manchester United players. Coaches should now apply new tactics. It is important to find out the reason why the performance has deteriorated so much despite having so many good players in the team. It is the responsibility of the coach to ensure that all the players perform at their best.

I'm still waiting and hoping PSG can be like German king Bayern Munich, PSG so far only won by a reasonable score which despite winning big but PSG still can't win big with a clean sheet. Tonight PSG will play away against Metz, where Metz is the bottom team in the standings which PSG should be able to take advantage of to win big. Indeed it's not something important, but for a big team like PSG this should be able to show its stunning dominance because then it will prove their expenses and achievements.
Yes your right i did notice that and plus most teams they they faced were average teams exept for lyon and today they will face metz a team with no win and three points in the bottom of the table and looks like messi will not play i think this will be good for psg since he is not yet back to his form.

Messi is still continuing his goal drought this season with PSG after being confirmed injured and missing the game against Metz, of course this is not a good start for Messi who has missed two games without contributing goals at all for PSG, many fans are hoping Messi can immediately give his first goal for PSG this season.
actually i just found out that messi had an injury to his knee, even though i think in the previous game, messi was very angry because it was pulled out by Pochettino in order with reason avoid him to an injury that might have happened in that match, but it turns out that now messi has a pretty knee injury rare throughout Messi career so far, from some news that I read, Messi was declared to have a bone bruise and the injury was caused by a direct blow to the bone which caused bleeding in it and the injury could spread to other body tissues such as muscle and fat.Pochettino decision to change Messi in the Lyon match was the right thing even though it received a negative response from messi himself, I think now messi must realize and apologize for his annoyance at Pochettino

for now PSG has enough skill to keep winning streak in Ligue 1 even without great performance from Messi or Neymar. they should win in Metz even without Messi.

Messi does not have enough time in a new club. PSG should feel happy because Messi just a little bit far from serious injuries. Two times in a last couple of weeks, he did not get serious injury.At Messi age now, if he get a serious injury, his career will be down too much and his career lifespan will be shorter dramatically.

First, we have matches like Lille vs Reims and Monaco vs St Etienne.
Lille have a great opportunity to start a good form as their opponent is quite weak. As long as they play carefully and be more effective as for attacking, there is nothing holding them back for becoming victorious here. I hope to see Burak Yilmaz scoring in this one also.
Monaco are also one of the losing teams so far but they have the capability to pull themselves together actually. The players just need to start believing in themselves a lot. This will help them be much better at winning matches. They are actually not having problem on having dangerous attacks but their problem is finishing. If they start getting better at it, then something will start to change a lot for them. I hope to see them winning this match too.
