PSG has losing several players this season besides Neymar and Messi PSG has losing Verratti and this is important thing because last season Verratti has been make PSG midfield sides was very stable and until now i didn't see any players who able to performing well just like him and for defensive lines too PSG haven't found their best composition because until week 5 new player just like Milan Škriniar is still haven't reach again his top performance and they have to admit that losing Ramos is very affected to their performance and this Wednesday PSG will facing Dortmund on champion league and i am sure Luis Enrique is under pressure because win result is mandatory and if PSG lost then his position will be threaten

Mbappe had no other choice than leave from the club. he was still young and he must also think about how to improve his career to be even better than before. Stay in PSG was not a solution to improve his career. PSG will face difficulty to play without mbappe.
We can't even sure whether mbappe will stay till the end of season or he will leave from there in winter. There have been many speculations about him linked to the real madrid. It's just frustrating for all of his fans if he will be staying even longer.
I hope that mbappe will determine the best decision for his career. Mbappe needs to achieve more than only winning farmer league. There are many stroies about someone who leave from his old club and got succeed in the new club.
The story about keywalker even luka modric have proven it. Mbappe needs to be better. Im not saying PSG was crap but this club will not able to push his career to get more achievement like win UCL.

There are rumors that Mbappe has a release clause to Real Madrid in the new contract renewal. On the one hand, this contract renewal step is part of PSG efforts to anticipate Mbappe free transfer, it is very likely that Mbappe will join after this season is over. Regarding Mbappe decision to stay, it was stated at the beginning that he would stay until his contract ended.

Mbappe biggest push to leave PSG is to win the European Champions League and pursue the status of best player. It makes sense, I think, if with Madrid there is a big possibility that Mbappe can make it happen, along with these individual achievements. In the end, I think Mbappe will leave PSG, it's just a matter of time sooner or later.

PSG have second opportunity with Mbappe future renewing contract or not until January window transfer opening, I don't think PSG wont left opportunity for selling Mbappe above 100 million when next window transfer opening if fail reach extend contract. Although have good communication right now and Mbappe become top scorer for PSG its seems management still try to get negotiation and make Mbappe want to extend his contract. But if outside from PSG management planning sell him when January transfer window opening is the best option than have to loss with free agent next season. I want to see Mbappe move to other top teams next season and try his challenge how to get most dreaming tittles as Champion League.

Even with Mbappe in the squad PSG this season, but PSG performance at this moment is very bad. Moreover, if Mbappe really leaves and or cannot be played maybe due to injury later, then PSG is only a mediocre team that will not be able to win titles and cannot compete in the upper zone in the standings. So yes, I personally think that PSG this season really cannot be expected both in the Champions League and also in Ligue 1. Because anyway, PSG no longer has good performance and form this season. So of course, with bad factors like that, then no one will be able to encourage PSG to get good results in every match this season.

Worst start of the season for the second spotted team in last season after five games they have just one point and already concede 11 goals which are most in this league their defense and attack both are playing awful and with this performance most chances they will be not able to stay stable in coming weeks as well against the Metz there were few expectations but nothing positive happen and Metz able to steal the show and have three points which give them decent start after losing first game badly against Rennes.

Even situation overall is not good in this season for the many top teams, but they are having worse start with now in coming days they are going to visit Spain for facing to Sevilla into Champions League game which already won their first game of this season and now having ability to beat them at home as well.

Mbappe is somewhat weak in decision making, so far he has not been able to make the right decision for his career. For some time it was heard that he would leave PSG to join Real Madrid, and after a few days there were rumors that he would stay at PSG again. 

For the last three seasons, Mbappe was initially interested in signing with Real Madrid, but he changed his mind again after receiving a large financial offer from PSG and some power at the club, and he once again stayed at PSG.

When the transfer market was open this season, he said he would not renew his contract with PSG this season, and that he would change the club as a free agent next season, but he renewed his contract with PSG again just before the transfer market closed. It is evident in his actions that Mbappe can never stay in one mind or take the right decision.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi's persuasion for Mbappe could happen before this season ends, but it probably won't be enough to change Mbappe's mind who only wants to end his contract with PSG at the end of this season. Apart from that, consideration of a career with another team could also be a reason for Mbappe not to stay at PSG because Mbappe still has time to make a better record in the following seasons even though it is not with PSG. And regarding the decline in PSG's performance when Mbappe is no longer at PSG, it can definitely happen and this has even begun to be seen this season, where PSG only appears to be in the top five of the standings after five matches at the start of this season.

Lorient knew that they don't stand a chance? Again such a comment that makes no sense. Then please explain to me why they play that game in the first place when there is no point even before the game started to actually play that game?

It's the same as saying that "some managers focus on one competition and lose another competition on purpose". Who are these guys thinking this?

Lorient had all the chances to not lose the game, to win a point and they won a point. Lorient could have won the game. Was it likely that they dominate the game? No, it wasn't, but on a lucky day they can win every game. They started the season with a draw against PSG, yes PSG! In Paris!

What about this? I don't understand why Lorient plays games when they know they have no chance.

There are times in a players life when he is not driven by money but by personal achievement and glory, I am sure this is the phase Mbappe is in now. Spain if possible Madrid will be the best club to achieve his ambition to win the Ballon d'Or. PSG or even the Saudi League would have been ideal if the Frenchman needed more money but Mbappe want to win personal awards and other prestigious trophies now that he is at the prime of his career. PSG is willing to pay him more if he had agreed to sign a new deal and the Arab billionaire would have paid the highest fee for Mbappe. But he wants things that money cannot buy.

You are correct, something is wrong with the defense. The club has conceded six goals in five games. But this will not be a problem if the attackers are scoring more goals. Monaco which is topping the league has conceived more goals than PSG but the only difference is that Les Rouge et Blanc is scoring more goals. Luis Enrique needs to find a way to make attackers score more goals.

Lorient knew that they don't stand a chance against Monaco who are currently inform this season and the only way they could try to reduce the pressure on themselves is by getting early goals and put the pressure on Monaco, but Monaco read the game so fast and scored an equalizer after 15mins of the game and  ended the first half with draw because both teams were impressive and were so careful not to concede another goal.
 
 However Monaco scored another goal to put them in from around the 60th minutes, they performed better and even created more chances than the home team in the 2nd half of the game but we're too careless to allow Lorient retaliate at the late mins of the game and destroyed their hope of winning, they would had gaped with about 3 points but are still leading with an unbeaten record and 11points in the table.

Concentration is an issue, and it's usually in those vulnerable minutes where concentration drops. At the start of the game and towards the end of the match is when concentration starts to falter and that happened in this match with the goal in the final minute of the match.
They must pay attention to that because it must be recognized that it is very difficult to be able to create concentration from the start of the match until the match is over. If we see now in various leagues many goals are scored in the early minutes or in the final minutes, it proves that the percentage is high and one of the causes is concentration.

I'm not too worried about Monaco's performance, especially now that they have new ammunition for their attack line, namely Folarin Balogun. Even though he only played twice in this match, he started from the bench. but he has shown it, by contributing one goal against Lorient. although in the end, this match ended in a draw. However, Monaco remains at the top of the standings.

As for PSG, there is a problem with their center forward. While Assensio performed well in his last two matches as a center forward, he suffered an injury and had to miss the match against Nice. Unfortunately, there seems to be a good bond between Goncalo Ramos and the PSG players. So, he underperformed. In the next few days, PSG will play an away match against Dortmund in the Champions League. I'm quite sure that Enrique will rotate for the front line. There is a big possibility that Randal Kolo Muani will be the main starter as a center forward. Enrique will try to maximize his squad, while waiting for Asenssio's recovery. So, I'm not worried if they will show Luis Enrique's best version of their game again.

Lens, I have reviewed it in several previous posts. If Franck Haise is unable to lift his team and return it to the right track. then, it looks like his career will be threatened.
well, interesting for Marseille. In their five matches, they were only able to win 2 of their 5 matches. the rest, ended in a draw. I doubt that Marseille will finish in the top four of this competition until the season ends. Even though it is too early to judge, I think the system implemented by Marcelino is no longer effective in modern football. If he doesn't want to adapt to the new system, it looks like Marseille will have difficult matches. However, let's see, because so far what I have said is only temporary conclusions and speculation.

PSG squad has experienced defenders. But their defense is weak because they are not able to perform well. Markinh, Kimpembe and Hakimi are all very talented. Even then, PSG is not playing well.
Luis Enrique is trying to stabilize the team. He doesn't spend much money yet. Not too many new players are added to the squad. Maybe after stabilizing the team he will add more talented players to the squad. Enrique applied new match tactics. But PSG players are not playing well with this strategy. Maybe the team should be given more time. If the players work hard, we will get better performance from them in the upcoming matches. Luis Enrique is quite an experienced coach. I think he will be able to stabilize the team.

Although Mbappe has extended his contract with PSG, it is very likely that Mbappe will leave PSG next season. Mbappe will join a club next season where he is expected to perform and win the Ballon d'Or. Far from winning the Champions League trophy, PSG are in doubt as to whether they can retain the Ligue 1 title this season. Mbappe is still in the team and still scoring goals regularly but he still can't get PSG to win. If Mbappe leaves, it will be very difficult for PSG to assemble the team. PSG let go of Messi and Neymar because of Mbappe, Mbappe is now not staying at the club. Since Mbappe has to stay in PSG this season, I hope he will play his best in PSG this season.

There is no reason to stay at PSG actually for Mbappe and talking about leaving he even wants to do that since before so I guess sooner or later he will leave anyway,
Until now my belief that he will go to Madrid remains the same as before and I think after several seasons of problems it is likely that next season he will be in a Madrid shirt no matter what.
Letting him go for free is impossible because with some previous news with Mbappe extending his contract until 2025 it is proof that PSG do not want to let go of their assets for free. Madrid will definitely pay PSG if they want to take Mbappe but the process may not be as difficult as before.

A defense line that consists few of the best current defenders in the world like Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe and Lucas Hernandez shouldn't be seen as a weak defense rather I think the defenders aren't putting out their best performances for the club and that is a very worrisome for a big club like Paris Saint Germaine.
The club management did well in signing quality players to the club in summer transfer window, so it's now the job of their manager Luis Enrique to figure out the best playing pattern that'll bring out the best from his boys or risk losing his job if PSG continues to lose matches like the one they lost at home last weekend.

I think so too, Mbappe will not stay longer for PSG, he will stay until his contract ends and join another team next season. PSG has no way of keeping Mbappe longer because the player wants to try new challenges in the coming season. This season, PSG seems to be having difficulty showing their aggressive play like they did in previous seasons. Other players still cannot be relied on to be the difference in the final result of each match because only Mbappe is capable of doing that. I think if Mbappe leaves PSG performance will automatically experience a drastic decline like what they experienced in their first match of the season. However, Nasser Al-Khelaifi will try hard to persuade Mbappe to stay with PSG, even though it is quite difficult considering that Real Madrid is the team that Mbappe wants for his next career.

I agree with your shot. PSG's defense is weak. And the performance of their attacking players is erratic. In attack, Mbappe, Asensio, Ramos and Dembele are all talented. But nobody can play consistently well except Mbappe. Not that Mbappe is performing very well either. However, strengthening PSG's defense is very important. They are conceding goals in every Ligue 1 match. They conceded 3 goals against Nice. Every team in the Champions League is very strong. If PSG performs in the Champions League with such a weak defense, then they will not win any match. Also, PSG players are not able to adapt themselves well to Enrique's match strategy. This is why the team's performance is erratic.
