Olympique Marseille and Monaco doesn't stand a chance to compete with PSG when the time comes. This is fresh starts and every club displaying their best performance inother to prove their strength. In more or fewer incoming games, most mediocre teams will dropped behind and we will know the main clubs competing for the league title. However PSG always remained the first team that comes on-top the list for nomination of clubs that would lift the Ligue One trophy, then follow by any random competitive club. PSG are consistent in league games but fails to record streak triumphed outside their league.

But the truth is, Monaco and Marseille are not mediocre teams so yes, if Monaco and Marseille can maintain this kind of good performance. Then at least, PSG might find it difficult to be at the top of the table. Indeed, it is still early and of course any result is still very possible, but if I consider PSG relies heavily on Mbappe to score goals. So if at any time later Mbappe cannot be played, then of course PSG will find it difficult to consistently win in every match. If that happens, then maybe this season PSG no longer has a strong dominance to be able to win the Ligue 1 title.

Honestly I still don't understand what is going on with Mbappe. Different news from time to time, actually I think Mbappé will be in PSG team this season.

In the match against weak teams like Montpellier and Strasbourg, yes Lyon they performance very bad especially against Montpellier. Because at home Lyon made helpless by a mediocre team, I'm pretty sure their mentality is very down at now, their confidence might drop in the next match against PSG. But if Lyon can recover and win in match against PSG, their confidence will increase. Although I doubt that because PSG now has found their confidence again after defeating Lens very well.

As quoted from Marca, it is true that Kylian Mbappe has just uploaded an Instagram story on his Instagram and this has given rise to further speculation regarding his possible departure this summer. It is clear that there are 3 emojis and one white heart emoji which indicates his departure but this is only a possibility because we often see oddities in Kylian Mbappe's posts so far on his Instagram account.

Is it possible that Kylian Mbappe will not stay at PSG this season and it turns out that there has been an agreement with Real Madrid to make a splash with his transfer to Real Madrid at the last minute of the transfer market? If this is true, PSG must prepare to go through this season without Kylian Mbappe, especially with other news that Kolo Muani wants to join PSG and is just waiting for Frankfurt's decision.

They narrowly escaped losing Mbappe this summer and where so strategic in trying to keep him in the team thereby making him to sign another contract, but I think Mbappe might likely move to another team next summer and it would be best that they start looking for a replacement while they enjoy his stay at the team this season, he's been so impressive for them so far and his recent performance has shown that they made the right choice in trying to keep him for another year, and making him extend his contract instead of termination it or loosing him for free next summer.
 He's of a great influence to the player and is currently the highest goal scorer in the team this season, imagine PSG'S attack without Mbappe, it would had been weak even with the fact that they got Dembele, Mbappe is the key player currently for PSG, since they've lost Messi and Neymar and I believe he'll help them performan better in the Champions league this season.

Yes, it's true and But it seems that PSG needs to anticipate that it will find a new striker if in the end Mbappe moves to another club and does not extend his contract with PSG, even though there are several quality players in the squad without Mbappe in the previous game, nothing can be produced even for just getting a win is difficult and I think there is a need to add a few players on the front lines.

At least PSG's attacks don't look dull when Mbappe leaves PSG later or if indeed Mbappe stays at PSG at least look for additional new players to make PSG's attack power even better. The departure of Messi and Neymar also had a slight impact on their attacking power, even though there was Dembele but he didn't look any better

That's not normal at all mate, even though PSG were left behind by some of their important players, they still have a lot of talented players in their squad, of course there will be changes, but I mean the changes shouldn't be this significant. We can see all this when PSG played matches against Lorient and also Toulouse in the first and second weeks of Ligue 1, how can PSG only get 1 point at home when facing Lorient? it's ok if their opponent is Lyon, Marseille or AS Monaco.

IMO, PSG have some great players even though they are not as big as Mbappe, we cannot rule out the other players. Luis Enrique has other players, namely, Dembele, Assensio, Goncalo Ramos and several other players. these players, will work together properly as a team. although Mbappe is the only superstar in the PSG squad, without his teammates he is nothing. that is why, every player has their own role which the coach combines with the system he implements to achieve the results they want.

Now, Enrique is trying to build a squad for his team. Unfortunately, Goncalo Ramos, Kang-in Lee, Marco Assensio, have not found the rhythm of play that the coach wants. In the first two matches they only got minor results, in the third match Mbappe was the difference and won his first match this season. no one can deny how great this player is, but football is not just a matter of one player. there are 11 people who will work together, to achieve the desired result. I'm pretty sure, gradually the other players will find their rhythm. especially, for the front and middle line players. Enrique will maximize his team and bring PSG to the best level. although currently the standings are occupied by Manoco and Marseille, it does not mean that PSG cannot reduce the difference in points between these two teams. after all, it's only a two point difference. this week, it is possible that the top position of the standings will change.

It is normal to see PSG in this situation now. Because they have been making big changes in the squad. Mbappe was also nearly leaving and he has been integrated into the squad again after some issues between him and the team. They tried a trio without Mbappe first. Despite the dominance it didn't work out as they couldn't score a goal. Whenever Mbappe was in the game he made a direct impact on the game with his goals later on. As I said before he is the mainstay for now.

As long as they have him in the starting eleven their win percentage should be increasing by a high sum. But I don't have big expectations from them anyway as I need to see the adaptation process of the new players first.

It's true that it's too soon to draw conclusions about which teams will be strong candidates to win the Ligue 1 title, there are still 31 games remaining ahead of us. We are also used to seeing underdog teams ranked at the top at the start of the season, soon we'll see how the big teams will get rid of them. Ligue 1 has only played 3 matches so far, and the interesting thing I see is that of the three matches that have been completed, not a single team has finished with a perfect result (9 points).

It is indeed Luis Enrique's main task to make the PSG team successful again this season even though PSG only has one more star player on their front line. Slowly PSG will continue to create competition again in Ligue1 in order to be in a better place even though Marseille and Monaco have also shown their good performances at the start of this season, but these two teams still have to be wary of PSG because PSG can still make greater dominance in Ligue1 this season.

@makishart PSG has changed way too many coaches quickly now and the player’s will take time to adopt to the new coach and on top of that they need to play with Mbappe who didn’t even want to be there so I can understand why they’re struggling for now. However if anyone feels that they won’t win the league due to their current performances I feel that they should be ready to be disappointed because PSG will soon bounce back and reclaim the top spot.

A number of players are likely to leave PSG after PSG appoint a new manager, with new manager Luis Enrique's plans for the players leaving many players out. Luis Enrique has asked players left out of his plans to find new addresses as being out of his plans means missing out on a place in the starting XI. Neymar has found his destination and now only Marco Veratti remains. Marco Veratti may be looking to find a new address if he fails to find a new address before the transfer window closes, Marco Veratti could spend an entire season sitting on the side bench. Marco Veratti certainly wouldn't want to be an irregular pupil of Luis Enrique.

Enrique is thinking if its team was not depth enough in competing on league 1. The impact of playing without Neymar and Messi was significant, as it affected the club's overall performance. It has been reflected from 1 draw and 1 lose. Mbappe become savior for PSG against lens which has been telling us if PSG is only able winning the match once it would be using its star player. Therefore, PSG is trying to convince mbappe to play again for the club. The result is far from my expectation if PSG would be able beating lens in the previous match.
Im thinking about if PSG will not survive without its star players. Even though PSG had been dominating before mbappe and neymar came but the impact from the star players is really big for the club.
Enrique shall have tried to remove this image from the club. People just knew this as a club that only relies on mbappe.

what I know is that Galtier does not only rely on this star player but also tries to maximize the performances of other players so that the important role is not only in the star players but also all PSG players and as a result PSG was able to get the title last season and on the one hand if we talk about Enrique with Galtier to be honest I prefer Galtier because in terms of experience I trust Galtier to be able to keep PSG in the UCL and its only about time for Galtier but unfortunately PSG officials prefer to fire him and replace him with a coach who for me is not enough experience.

but after all it is Enrique responsibility to be able to keep PSG at the top of the standings and also in the UCL even though he does not have a strong chemistry with PSG players.

Believe or not, Mbappe is most important player for PSG and opening match difficult scoring any one goals after his name withdrew from PSG squad list few hour match begin against Lorient. Mbappe is the best quality striker for PSG and he can contribution well after success scoring three goals in last two matches. Seems close all possibilities with Mbappe leaves PSG in this season and actually difficult for Luis Henrique to sign another striker with few day left before deadline of summer window transfer.

PSG have leave by Neymar and Lionel Messi, they need new chemistry for new player adapting well with Luis Henrique tactic and how well build teammates working with Mbappe. Need time for PSG back to top performance after losing important player on crucial position, not only with Neymar and Lionel Messi but also PSG possibility will leaves by Marco Veratti.

Olympique Marseille is ranked second on the Ligue One table, they're competing with Monaco who's sitting at the first position. Checking out I didn't see PSG in the crucial positions, moreover it's very early to start concluding on the club's that would be in the race to fight for the domestic league title. I'm believing Paris Saint Germain will always make good path to the first position, furthermore the team's healing after important players exits the team, it's definitely going to affect their performance a little bit, but the new boss, Luis Enrique will make sure he strengthen and enchance the team.

PSG shall try to build a good team without him. We don't know how long he will be playing in PSG. We can see that how differences in the performance from PSG when the club play with/without him.
PSG was always suffering the bad result against another club when he doesn't play. Mbappe makes the club perform differ than the first match in league 1. Goncalo ramos is not really a flop for PSG but he needs time in adapting to the club.


True and enrique shall put this as his major concern. Galtier was only relying upon messi, neymar and mbappe last season. PSG needs to build a proper squad that is not relying on the star player.
It will make the club can survive even longer in the UCL as the star player can suffer injury anytime. That's pretty much the same like madrid when it's only relying on vini and benzema before bellingham has come.
