sorry to hear about the incident experienced by the Lyon squad, this is truly the stupidest thing a group of football fans have ever done, even though if the match between Marseille vs Lyon takes place, i'm sure Marseille will win the match, things like this actually make Ligue 1 less interesting to watch.

i was quite surprised to see that Brest was able to equalize 2-2 in the second half, but apparently everything ended differently, PSG finally won 3-2 through the last goal made by Mbappe, Mbappe succeeded in scoring 2 goals, good work Mbappe succeeded in making PSG successful continues to approach NICE which is currently in 1st place.

To be honest, I bet on Marseille to win this match but what happened was, Marseille fans were really stupid . Because after all, the reality is that at this moment Lyon is also in a situation and condition that is destroyed and of course, with the bad conditions that Lyon is experiencing at this moment can be a great opportunity for Marseille to win with a big score. So ya, with a bad incident like this, I hope Marseille will get a heavy punishment, not only about fines and also not only about no spectators, but I also hope Marseille gets a point deduction. Because obviously, Marseille fans must receive severe punishment from this incident, and that punishment will befall their favorite club of course.

I don't know how you feel about it but a manager can change a lot of a team. A team arranges their team with many good players but how to play in which position, how to plan against which team or why to raise which player and drop which player at any time.

This is what we saw with the previous team of PSG, no doubt the previous team had world class players but lacked a manager to give the right direction. If this team could have been guided in the right direction from that time, then this team would have at least won a Champions League trophy by now. Luis Enrique is working with this team and he has managed to change some areas of this team and that is definitely a positive change. If he works with this team for a long time, the performance of this team will change more.

That was stupid,very stupid of Marseille fans,the same shit happening also in other leagues in Europe which had a lot of other games suspended like Alkmar yesterday night.Lyon is in the last place of the standings and this was a golden opportunity for Marseille to get that win who would boost some what their position in a season which has not started in the best of the ways for them.This kind of behavior will put them at risk of not only fines and playing without fans in the stadium from quite a long time but also will put them at risk of being removed points or even worse expelled to lower divisions from such behavior.Nothing looks good for Marseille this year so far.

I'm not sure what happened in the game between Marseille and Lyon in the French league but since I'm following them on social media, It seems the fans of Marseille were attacking the Lyon teams and coach for no reason. This made Fabio Grosso injured and I think there is going to be some kind of suspension for Marseille and their fans.
Marseille could easily win this game without any drama.

I confess that when I saw the news about the attack that Lyon's coach suffered, I was shocked and at the same time I was thinking: these episodes could be the beginning of something more serious, I say that with sadness, because when Neymar and Messi were playing in France, they also faced a lot of constant criticism from PSG fans, and they weren't just criticisms with soft words, they were criticisms using insulting words and I believe that the bad behavior that PSG fans had against Neymar and Messi was something that should already serve as a sign that one day things could not end just with words and reach the level of physical violence, and in this case it was not the fault of PSG fans but of Lyon fans due to their dissatisfaction with Lyon's poor performance

but this opens up a lot of space for aggressive fans of other teams, such as PSG fans, to lose their fear and start using violence to impose themselves and create changes in the team when they become dissatisfied with the team's performance. and the problem with this type of bad and reprehensible behavior is that many of these aggressive people do not realize that football is played on the field and when it ends people should not fight and a team has managers who choose the coach and these fans can write a letter of complaint and send it to the club's top manager and they don't need to resort to violence



What would have happened if Lyon's coach died? They would become criminals and convicted of murder, and would face a sentence of more than 18 years in prison, even now they have already become criminals because they will have to be convicted of physical assault and material damage to the car they destroyed. Can you imagine how the relatives of those guys who attacked the Lyon coach will look at them? Maybe they even move away from them, and all because of not being able to control emotions in football. destroy life because of it.

At least, for this week the points distance from the top 4 in the standings is not far apart, Nice with 22 points, PSG with 21 points, Monaco with 20 points and Lille with 18 points. It's quite competitive indeed, at least in the next few weeks. However, I doubt that Nice will continue with its positive trend. This means that next week Nice could fail to get full points when they host Rennes, however the temporary odds do not have a significant difference, even though the bookies still favor the home team. I suspect, this meeting will not produce any points. "This is just an assumption without basis", I mean, without any basis in research and analysis.

Likewise with Monaco. their defeat to Lille, as I previously predicted. If every match played by Manaco doesn't look solid, they will end up losing at home to Lille. Next week, Monaco will host Brest. As we know, Brest put up resistance against PSG last week. In the next match, something similar could potentially happen when Monaco hosts Brest this week. Well, these two teams have the potential to lose points this week.
For PSG, as I said, slowly Enrique will bring his team to the top of the standings. So, it's just a matter of time. and if that doesn't happen, it means that Enrique is not capable of coaching Paris Saint-Germain.

It must be like that. I can still accept the reason from lyon to postpone this match. Fabio's head was hitting by a stone. No reason to continue the match while lyon was missing him in the game. The police needs to take a step as soon as possible.
This is why i don't even like the french supporters. They were not able showing their respects toward their opponents. It will be so good if police will able to gather the information regarding someone who was throwing stone to fabio's head.
This is a shame for marseille caused by the club can't even control the emotion of its fans at this moment. I hope marseille will be taking an action to prevent the same incident to happen again in the future.

Since the start of the season, we've seen that Kylian Mbappe has been the star player for the Paris Saint Germaine team but I don't think it simply means that the club solely rely on him for them to win their games because I think the club manager Luis Enrique is too experienced to build a team that'll rely on the brilliance of just one player before they can win any game.
Kylian Mbappe is a phenomenal that'll be very influential in a club he finds himself anywhere in the world but that doesn't mean that his his personal brilliance with the ball and always scoring goals means that any team he finds himself do rely on him. Without Kylian Mbappe, Paris Saint Germaine has all it takes to win games but the fact that they have a big player like Mbappe in their squad, it's never a bad thing to build the team around him.

It's not all but this is not my first time to see this kind of incident. Fabio grosso's head was also bleeding after being attacked by marseille fans. Marseille fans were so stupid as fuck. They never have mind to understand what meant of respect to the their opponents.
I do agree to the lyon's owned to postpone the game. Marseille's fans are having shitty attitude. They were as bad as PSG fans. Im not even having respect toward marseille's fans. They were only making the name of their favorite clubs looked so disgusting.
Lyon's owned has explained that if the club was still able to playing the game against marseille but due to the put more respects to the fabio which was being injured.

I can even understand if lyon was postponing this game. I hope that fabio will able to recover from his injury as soon as possible. Marseille needs to make sure any club that was coming to their stadions must be safe from arrogant fans like that.
These kind of fans were only destroying the reputation of clubs caused by they barbarian attitude.

PSG's performance yesterday either impressed me or not because initially PSG was only able to compete in a draw and after almost approaching the final minute luck came to get a penalty and even Mbappe's kick almost failed but succeeded in getting 1 additional goal which gave PSG the win and still all this relied on Mbappe while Until now, Enrique has not been able to control other players to become a strong club without mainstay players, while Mbappe is certain to leave in the coming season.
Maybe a lot will happen but it is quite difficult for PSG without Mbappe because he is still very reliable and PSG still depends on this player and I can't imagine what PSG's future will be without Mbappe.

Nice are very serious about winning the league this season though it's too early to decide that yet, however their performance is very impressive so far and their good performance has landed them in the 1st position, however they shouldn't be relaxed and still continue working hard to maintain that position for a while to give them a boost in the title raise, cause PSG is directly behind them waiting for them to drop points.

 Monaco would've still been the leaders of the league currently but they lost their position to Nice and could still drop if they fail to perform well against Brest in their next match, well they've got more advantage in the game cause they're the hosting team  however they need to be careful against Brest who can be very dangerous.

We all recognize Nice greatness from the start of the season until now but PSG also seems to have improved quite drastically in the last few matches so Nice really has to collect full points in every match so that PSG doesn't move them from first place.
But are you sure Nice can consistently maintain all this for long time until the League ends?
Because there will be ups and downs in every football team and we cannot determine when they will experience them.

These three top teams will always compete for first place, but if they are trying to get the title then safer shift is when the League is almost over so that when they advance in first place it makes it difficult for other teams to catch up.
I also want to see who between Nice, PSG and Monaco can win the title this season.

PSG aren't solid neither doing well in any competition. Imagine them waiting every time for Mbappe to score a goal and save them from wasting points easily.. I know Brest are doing well this season but PSG is a top team that play internationally vs the best teams in the world and not only local ones.. I wonder how they will manage to win Ligue 1 from the time of Mbappe leave them this winter or next summer..
Otherwise as expected the match between Lille and Monaco was interesting and Monaco allowed both PSG and Nice pass them in the ranking. That's why I always say the problem with this league isn't how good PSG are but how bad the others do..

Slowly they are picking up and this is what they should have done from the start because the changes at the beginning of the season were very lame and this is not like Lens last season.

This first big win for Lens is very good but it is still not enough for them because to return to a decent position and if they want to be considered as one of the dark horse clubs again like last season they must now start to try to be consistent and play like when they played against Nantes because this is important for them considering the position is still not too suitable for them now.

PSG didn't surprise me by winning only by a one-goal gap against Brest. I wasn't expecting them to have a comfortable game against a strong Brest. Because Brest started the season really solidly but for a couple of weeks their form has been on the decline. This was a big opportunity for PSG also to hit them hard.

However I didn't expect a big score because PSG are still an inconsistent team. It is quite difficult to predict them in the Ligue 1 as well. Mbappe played a huge role in this win of course. I don't know what they will do when he isn't able to play or if he leaves the team by the end of the season.

PSG has made many coaching changes but it is still difficult for them to win the UCL trophy. And I think the club management doesn't have to look for a new, better coach to be able to win the UCL trophy. Because what they need to do is give the current coach a lot of time so that can work harder to make PSG progress in the Champions League this season better than the previous season.

Because like Manchester City, they also need a lot of time to win the UCL trophy and PSG management has to learn a lot from Manchester City experience to be able to give their coach lots of time. Luis Enrique is not a top coach like Guardiola and Zidane but he needs time to bring PSG to glory in the Champions League.

But I think that a different coach would be able to make them much stronger than they are right now. I agree that regarding the names, some of the exclusivity was gone when Messi and Neymar left the club, but when you look at their whole squad they still have plenty of quality. I would like to know how far a top coach could develop this team. With someone like Zidane or Guardiola I believe they would be better off. Enrique may not be a bad coach, but i never found him to be particularly good. He had some good timing when he had all these great players and won the Champions League, but apart from that I wouldn't say he is among the best coaches.

It's unfortunate that things like this still happen in football and it's a huge disservice to the sport. I understand that the tension of a match is always high, but violence that leads to harm is something that should be avoided. This is not only detrimental to one party, but all parties including football itself.

How is it possible that the "respect" that continues to be promoted will be able to happen if the people who harm football still exist. As a supporter, we should be more mature and not do something harmful. There must be very firm action and the perpetrators must be found immediately.

Not only Lens and there are several other teams in Ligue 1 who have made big progress this season. Lens have slowly shown improvement and despite some of their shortcomings, two wins and three draws from their previous five games have shown a good improvement compared to the start of the season. But this is not entirely good because they must always appear consistent if they want to catch the top five in the standings. As the days go by, the match will become much tougher, especially if a number of the players they have are injured.

The Ligue 1 competition will be much more interesting this season because there are several teams that have the ability to match PSG's dominance. Even though it has only been a few matches, the temporary competition has shown significant improvement, so PSG must be wary of the rise of several other teams if they want to secure the Ligue 1 title.
