I think there is a general goal scoring problem in France. While Mbappe scored 18 goals and was the leader, Ben Yedder scored 8 goals and took the second place. If you have Mbappe, you can score a lot of goals. I can clearly say that this player is one of the best players right now. He will be PSG's biggest weapon against Toulouse. PSG will try to solve the closed Toulouse defense with him.

Toulouse's last meeting with PSG ended in a 1-1 draw. and now it's the final match that will leave PSG with the first trophy of the season.
observers certainly see that this will be an easy match for PSG. but I hope Toulouse gives the best game and resistance to PSG who I think at this time must be very confident to win.
in this match, maybe both teams will score goals. Even though PSG will win the trophy later, both of them will score goals.

Toulouse is not a strong team. In Ligue 1, this team is likely to go to the relegation zone. And so naturally PSG team is considered as favorite in this match.
However, in the Europa League match we saw Toulouse team win 3-2 against giants Liverpool. Toulouse players performed well. Defeating a big team like Liverpool was not an easy task for Toulouse. Yet they managed to do it. That is why it is said that Toulouse players will put up a strong resistance against PSG.
But if Mbappe plays well, I don't see any chance of Toulouse winning. PSG is a strong team. PSG's performance is stable now with the help of Luis Enrique. And Luis Enrique will be desperate to win his first title with PSG.

They lost six points in their last five league games which was a big help for PSG to make the gap five points with them. PSG can easily pull away from them if Nice don't start being consistent again immediately.

5 points is not very big difference in numbers but it will be quite difficult to match or even beat it.
Nice needs to win more and optimize its playing performance to be consistent in winning.
I believe Nice can do it if they can play consistently and stably.

Both teams closed 2023 by winning and also strengthening their position at the top of the standings, PSG managed to get 3 points from Metz, as well as Nice who managed to beat Lens with a score of 2-0, the victory of the two teams did not really affect the current standings, PSG Those who are at the top of the standings still dominate in the league and I think even though PSG and Nice only have a difference of 5 points, it doesn't mean it will make PSG depressed, a 5 point difference from PSG doesn't mean it makes Nice a champion challenger because as usual and also the experience in the previous season Usually in the middle of the season we will see PSG leaving the other teams quite far behind. So a difference of 5 points will be meaningless for PSG and perhaps, as many members have said here, 5 points is still a long enough distance for Nice to catch PSG.

PSG is a good club that can produce many goals but I'm a bit sceptic that they will do such when they meet Toulouse tonight. The visitors aren't much of a threat in their league but maybe since this is a league cup, they could prove stubborn and make the game uncomfortable for the Ligue 1 gaint because it seems like since Toulouse can't beat PSG in the league this encounter could be an opportunity to get something out of this game.

Tonight match is an important match for both teams, Toulouse will try very well to not lose, and PSG also will try very well to win. Considering Mbappe scoring record this season, I think this man will scored in that match. But indeed, PSG victory in tonight may not be with many goals. Even though on paper PSG will be very favorites, but yeah Toulouse will defend very well. By the way, if PSG get the trophy tonight, I hope their confidence will increase in their remaining matches this season especially in UCL competitions.

It depends on the position of who is chasing and who is being chased.
When PSG is chased by the club below, the difference of 5 points will be something difficult to pursue because after all, until now PSG will definitely continue with great consistency but when for example PSG is chasing points, it will definitely be easy.
In addition, currently chasing as well as rivaling PSG in the race for the trophy is only Nice where this is a surprise club so surely this will be very difficult for them to catch up because after all, when PSG is already at the top of the standings for Ligue 1, it is likely to survive even until the end of the season it will definitely happen.
The current situation is not too difficult for PSG even though some surprise clubs are always troublesome but in the end their position will still be safe and continue to dominate until the end considering other clubs cannot provide more resistance in the end.

Talking about Mourinho, it seems that he is not very interested in coaching a team in Ligue 1 and even though PSG is a very big name, he still chooses other big teams in Europe. Mourinho's integrity to train the team he wants is something he has paid close attention to and not just any club can persuade him.

Mourinho has become an age-old rumor. If I'm not mistaken, the rumor of recruiting Mourinho was early last season. But they didn't go ahead because Mourinho played football with the old strategy and didn't suit PSG. With Roma Mourinho also did not have good achievements he was only able to give the UEFA Europa Conference League champion 21/22. Until now Roma is also stable in the top 10 and in the last 2 years they ended up in that place too.

Im not surprised that Mourinho's name continues coming up in rumors, especially with PSG. However, Mourinho's style is outdated for a fast-paced, modern club. PSG needs a coach who fits their style and philosophy, and Mourinho's old-school tactics dont work.

However, PSG's frequent coach changes arent helping. They must invest in a process, follow a plan, and give their coach time to accomplish their goal. Switching things up hinders team development. They must consider long-term to dominate locally and in Europe.

I don't think so, however Jose Mourinho is one of the best coaches in the world and he has proven this most recently with the Serie A team AS Roma where after Mourinho's arrival in Rome quite a lot of team development has become even better so I think it's only natural that PSG management is looking at Jose Mourinho.
However, it is not about Mourinho's quality that is in doubt, but PSG management must also give Luis Enrique more time so he can build this team through a process to become the team he wants.

What is clear is that Toulouse in this important match will play very carefully against PSG, and will most likely strengthen their defense, especially blocking Kylian Mbappe with two or three players.
The reason is, Kylian Mbappe is currently on fire after returning to defend France in the international break at the end of last November, and Toulouse needs to be wary of this man.
And if you look at the meeting between the two PSG teams, they were far ahead and Kylian Mbappe also contributed four goals in the meeting between the two teams. And if you look at the results of the meeting between the two teams and the condition of Kylian Mbappe who is on fire, Kylian Mbappe should be able to bring PSG to win the French Super Cup.

I don't subscribe to your position that Jose Mourinho's style of play is outdated. If it is archaic, how did manage to make it to the Europa League finals last season? Roma has also qualified for the second round of the same competition and is in the 7th position in the Seria A. Roma has a very limited budget compared to other top clubs in Italy. With the financial strength of PSG, Jose will get all the players he needs and you will be shocked with his performance.

The club has a single goal of winning the UEFA Champions League and any coach that fails to achieve it, will be sacked. They don't care if the coach was able to win the League One title, all PSG management wants is the UCL. I think they should give Luis Enrique more time to rebuild the team towards European glory.

The Ligue 1 has given a break really early compared to the other top leagues. Therefore the teams here will have a really big amount of time to pull themselves together and get readier for the second half of the season. I would like to see the title competition to be fired up by Nice more honestly. Because they really can stay in this for a long time if they work harder.

Indeed, Ligue 1 has an more break and the last match be played 10 days before December ends, while the start of the first match in the second half of the season will take place in the middle of the month, to be precise January 13.
Ligue 1 has break of more than 3 weeks and this is quite long break, in contrast to several other league competitions which only have break of approximately 2 weeks.
With longer time lag, all team can take advantage of it to prepare their performance very well and of course the competition between Nice and PSG will be very fierce, currently the difference between the two team is only 5 points.

Mourinho will not be a bad choice as PSG's head coach if they want to sign him. His performance as a coach in Roma should not be used to judge how he will perform at PSG if he is hired. Team management differs, and he may get what he desires most to help his team win more games when he joins PSG. An old coach has nothing to do with the team they will coach; all that is required is good results, and if Mourinho can provide those results for the team, I believe they will not hesitate to hire him.

With limited resources in Roma, Mourinho had two final matches in Conference League and Europa League, he can do it with PSG. With abundant resources and money in PSG, he can have a final match in Champions League with PSG.

Will Mourinho want to stay in Europe or only want money?
If he want money, Saudi Arabia will be his destination, not PSG. It is unrealistic that PSG will be able to compete with rich clubs in Saudi Arabia to pay him high salary.

PSG have money but they have to follow financial laws from UEFA so they will not be ready to pay a same salary as Saudi Professional League can offer to Mourinho.

Mourinho and his abilities, but sadly you are wrong about PSG and its owners because for me, they can compete with Saudi League rich owners as they were spending huge amounts for the star players like Messi, Neymar and Mbappé so having coach like Mourinho is not problem for them with if we have selection from the Mourinho then surely he will decide about PSG because he loves challenges and this is going to be toughest for his career and he can achieve which PSG management fail to achieve with many other coaches but here we also need few things if they are going to have another change of coach then surely this is not ideal.

Now Luis Enrique is doing good job, and he can bring better results but here time to support him and also give some time with you can't win Champions League with money or team which is settled in just few months you need some long time for having ideal results and this is surely need patience otherwise it's just waste of money nothing else.

Every club deserves strong competition. Ligue One is no longer consider a top league, it's really compromising watching these top clubs having no competitive opponents. Nice and Monaco are the only clubs with a possibility of catching PSG on the table. They're competitive enough to manage the difficult situations, and this is going to be a lot of fun for these clubs, who are the primary challengers to PSG, who now leads the table. This season, Paris Saint-Germain have no fight or challenge in Ligue One; they are on a different level compare to other clubs.

Paris Saint Germain rumor to have come for the coach but it shown that they couldn't have him. AS Roma lucky enough to be managed by one of the top genius in football when it comes to coaches. José Mourinho have fulfilled his dream by winning the major titles in his space and have also manage top clubs in elite leagues, so AS Roma is merely just a club he got hooked up with when he had no job offered. José Mourinho is potential coach that sees from far, he's able to stand out and ensure his side is able compete in elite competitions.

A coach like José Mourinho has no doubts about how he trains a team and also how he protects the players he trains quite well. However, PSG actually not only needs a new coach, but also several players who can be solid enough to play in the team so that PSG can get bigger trophies besides its domestic trophies every season. Because this season I'm not really sure that PSG will get the UCL trophy, but for the Ligue1 trophy I can be quite sure that PSG will get it again.

It was a good start for Nice. I thought their performance might stop at some point. Actually, I think they are happy with their position in the league. They are currently in second place and it is enough for them to get one of the top four places to go to the UCL.

Yep, even though Nice has not been able to break Paris Saint-Germain's dominance, at least its current position is not too bad because it is very likely that it will advance to the UCL next season, PSG is the top team in League 1 so it is not easy for other teams to beat PSG to win the title so we Everyone must be patient to see other teams in League 1 able to compete competitively and break PSG's dominance.
League 1 still has more than a week to prepare for Week 18's matches, so for now League 1 teams can still enjoy a fairly long break.

The players have more time for holidays or just hanging out with their families and with this positive encouragement we will be able to see team competition in Ligue 1 become more enthusiastic. Talking about Nice, it is indeed a failure that they cannot control and they are still the same as last season, dropping points at crucial times. The result was that PSG crawled slowly and surely to overtake Nice and at the same time made a significant difference in points. We don't know what the future holds but what is clear is that PSG will start the rest of the season in a fitter condition and they will be very eager to beat their opponents again. If later Nice fails to compete with PSG, I hope they can at least secure a top 4 position so they can also experience higher competition next season.

Mbappe is one star that his departure from he PSG will cause a vaccum that’ll be hard to fill and yes if they need to get any replacement then it has to be a player who already has the confidence to ay for a big team and knows what it takes to fill Mbappe’s shoes in the club. Now this player has to be signed even before Mbappe’s departure so that he can try to fix in with Kylian and learn soe little stuffs from him.

It’ll not be much a task for Enrique as he’s a quality coach that can help build a player and bring out the quality from him. what’s needed is the perfect replacement else I think the club will go through a phase when Mbappe leaves and I don’t think the fans are ready for that, well PSG is a wealthy club and I believe they're currently scouting for a perfect replacement for Mbappé incase he decides to leave by summer.

There are different views about this all with mostly are feeling everything is replaceable, and now it's time for PSG to end this Mbappé saga and look into future because currently they are on right path with after omission of other stars now if they allow Mbappé to leave then surely they need to work on their squad which can give his best under Luis Enrique because he is experienced coach with ability to bring good results and also can win trophies in UEFA for them as well just they need to be patience and support for him with change of coaches quickly never give good results.

Most chances we will have this transfer in coming transfer window in June with this an era will be ended here at the PSG, and they will look for better options which are available in the soccer market, hopefully things will be good for the PSG management and their fans after this all.
