I agree that Mbappe shone brightest when he was surrounded by Messi and Neymar. Imagine having a dream squad trio doing miracles on the field, I mean! However, I believe Mbappe will encounter some difficulties now that Messi and Neymar are out of the picture. I have no doubts about his abilities; he is a true gem! The PSG lineup of today, though? Not really that impressive, if you ask me. They are not on Mbappe's level, frankly. I have a sneaking suspicion that Mbappe may start seeking for a new club shortly. Its disappointing that PSG doesnt value him as they ought to.

The PSG squad is not bad in itself. But the thing is the chemistry between the players are not very good in the psg squad. So it is good that he is trying to fix that problem first. Definitely if the players do not have good chemistry with each other, they are not going to play well on the field.  And that is exactly what has been happening with the psg team in few previous seasons so far.

Oh, and i know that he is not here in PSG for a short time. So he is definitely trying to build up a team that will work properly in the future.  So first of all he is trying to fix the TV that he already has in his hand, and after that he will try to bring in better players so that he can improve the power of the team. i think that is the approach is taking. And I definitely like his approach.

PSG will not get stronger if there are still weak lines in their team, because last season it was clear that PSG would not be successful in the UCL when they only relied on their front line, while the other lines were still not strong enough. So that is still the main task of PSG if they want to make their team stronger this season, because defense is a very important line for all teams. And this season everything is also clear where PSG was only able to draw in the first two matches in Ligue1.

Yep, that's true and we agree. however, we cannot confirm the true quality of PSG this season. the competition has only been running for two weeks, there are still many matches that PSG will play in the future. after all, Enrique is trying to build his team to achieve what he hopes for as well as what the PSG management wants. Moreover, some rumors suggest that PSG is still active in this summer's transfer window before it closes. I don't know which players they will bring in, but what is certain is that PSG really need a midfielder who is truly creative. while their target player, namely Bernardo Silva, does not seem interested in joining this French league giants. even so, at least Enrique will do as he must with his team. the era of Messi and Neymar has passed, now PSG has several newcomers plus Mbappe. although in two matches they did not achieve maximum results, there was still plenty of time for the coach and his team to reach the level they wanted. so, we just follow every development of this one team.

I think the players are still adjusting to Enrique's strategy because he, as the new coach at PSG, definitely needs to adapt to the PSG players, especially in the two matches at the start of this season, PSG were only able to get two points with two draws and that's why maybe Enrique hasn't shows his quality as a coach at PSG, of course that must be addressed immediately to get good results.

PSG is ranked eleventh and it doesn't look good enough at the start of this season, of course in the third week at least PSG will be able to steal three points and Enrique really needs to learn to improve his strategy by fielding the right players and putting good players in positions That's right, I think it will be a bad record if the start of the season is bad.

It has become two weeks for Lens without a win. But I'm not surprised with this kind of a start for them. Because they have lost really important players in the midfield and attacking line like Fofana - Openda duo. Especially Openda's goal contribution was really valuable. But now there is another problem actually.

Defending is a more problematic thing for Lens now rather than their scoring power. Because they conceded 4 goals in 2 matches already.

If you remember Lens were the least conceding team last season - 29 goals. They need to work out their problems on defending to have a better run.

Although PSG's attacking side is fairly good, I don't see any improved players in the team from midfielders to defense. The PSG team performed poorly last season as well due to the only midfielder and the defense in these areas the PSG authorities need to do a great job.

Luis Enrique is trying to stabilize the team and strengthen the bond between the players. He also changed PSG's match strategy. However, he has not been able to strengthen the PSG team yet. I would definitely say that the overall condition of the PSG team has improved somewhat. However, PSG's performance is still weak due to their attacking weakness. Only on Mbappe is the team now dependent. And Mbappe isn't getting a good enough performance from PSG. If Mbappe had performed well, PSG would not have lost points in the first two matches. Luis Enrique should find an experienced striker and add to the squad. PSG is the richest club. They have a lot of money. Adding a star striker to the squad is not a big problem for them.

Indeed, this is not too surprising because the previous meeting between the two can almost be said to be balanced and maybe even this time I have quite the expectation that Rennes will win by a narrow score. But it seems that Lens at home are still much stronger and they managed to do their job well so that Rennes couldn't steal full points from them. Talking about Rennes they will host in the next game and their opponent will be Le Havre who are the promoted team of Ligue 1 this season. It is very clear that this will be an easy match for Rennes and even for bets there is no doubt to bet on Rennes' win.

These doubts are understandable. Because Messi, Neymar left the team. Mbappe, on the other hand, continues in the team in an eventful way, but at the end of next year, we can look at it with certainty that he will leave the team. In such a team, there may be uneasiness that may cause the players not to give themselves fully to the matches. Hard times have begun for PSG. It will take a lot of hard work to win the championship this year. We cannot say that he will definitely win the league as before.

Precisely because PSG are in a slump right now so now is an opportunity for other teams to be able to continue to be consistent in moving away from the standings, it's still early in the season but it affects the mentality of the team.
Monaco is a strong team, their problem last season was just not being consistent so they couldn't compete strictly at the top of the standings, so I think the coach has understood their weaknesses last season and has certainly improved.
PSG performance right now is really very bad and the players they have are not as good as last season, so I'm sure this season PSG won't be able to dominate Ligue 1 like they did a few seasons before.

I also think so, Mbappe now has to fight alone on the front lines after being left by his partner Messi and also Neymar, surely this will be very hard for Mbappe and of course if PSG's performance does not improve, the player wants to move to another team, especially Mbappe is a player the target of many top European teams.
If you look at the current composition of PSG's players, there are not so many players who are of quality or equal to Mbappe's quality, so it is very likely that this team's performance was not much better last season.

Messi, Neymar and also Mbappe are the 3 front lines owned by PSG, these three players when they are on the field and are already holding the ball to attack the opponent's defense it can be very easy to produce a goal for PSG.
Now Neymar will only play to keep up with the game of his club mates and cannot dominate a good game like last season because I am sure his club mates will not be able to follow how Mbappe plays.

But this seems to be the last season for Mbappe with PSG and whether Mbappe will be played or not, it is clear that Mbappe is fed up with all this where he is no longer considered a core player for PSG.
I think that for next season Mbappe will definitely have a club that he deserves.

Since they are the strongest team economically in the league, they have no difficulty in bringing in the players they want. Despite this, they have lost a championship to Lille in the past. For UCL, they haven't been able to reach their goals anyway. Although the club president provided all the financial means, Paris SG could not achieve a global success. They will be in this image this year as well and the fans seem to be overwhelmed by it now. They want the UCL championship now.

Mbappe was able to score the most goals for PSG last season thanks to Messi assisting Neymar. No matter how big a star a player is, he can never score a goal alone without the help of other players. When Messi and Neymar were at PSG, they both scored goals for the team and assisted others. This season will not be so easy for Mbappe. This season, Mbappe will not have as many experienced teammates as Messi Neymar, which will result in him being scoreless in many matches. There is no doubt that Mbappe is one of the best stars in Europe at the moment, but PSG definitely needs a player like Mbappe to help Mbappe.

Anything can happen and beyond our expectations, last season Monaco did not perform so well but this new season Monaco has started the season well so there is still a high probability of being able to maintain its game which can outperform other big teams.
When discussing Lens and Monaco last season, Lens was better because they were runners up, but at the start of this new season, Lens did not look competitive, whether it will be like that in the future, no one knows or it could also be for Lens to win the title this season and make PSG under them.

I mean PSG can only be one of the top 4 positions for Legue 1.
Regarding Ligue 1, it only has 3 tickets for the Champions League I know that with first and second places getting tickets directly and for third place you have to go through the qualifying round first.
I also believe that some teams will be very successful and can surpass PSG to win the title this season.

What about the quality from the current players compared with last season? As far as i know that if PSG have been recruiting players with less qualities compared with last season once messi was still on the club.
It sounds non sense to say that the current players have better qualities compared with last season. I saw some players which are very unfamiliar to me. PSG needs to prove it.
The result from the first and second weeks didn't enough to satisfy the fans. Goncalo ramos is still far from my expectation even mbappe was just scoring in the previous match through penalty.
Im not seeing something good was coming from PSG right now. Enrique needs to make a huge improvements as soon as possible.

Luis Enrique has several world football stars in his squad and he just needs to adapt and try to mix things up to create a terrible squad. If they are only able to become strong competitors in Ligue 1 then in my opinion Luis Enrique is not much better than the previous coach because PSG's dominance in the League was already formed before his arrival. Management and fans are expecting more at this time from Luis Enrique and it is hoped that he can bring PSG in the competition for the UCL title this season.

Luis Enrique is faced with a huge responsibility and maybe realistically I also don't think they can achieve success in a short time in the first season Enrique came, he needed time to manage PSG and most importantly PSG entrusted him to recruit the players needed, not recruit players as they were they did before.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi will do anything to upgrade his team this season, they have priorities to hits. Two games, two draws, time for the parisians to secure a winning in their next game. Ligue One is consider as a league that's performing weigh below their expectations. PSG are struggling to earn three points this season, but nothing to worry about because they will definitely bounced back to streak winnings. The new boss, Luis Enrique craving for three points this season, expects his team to match up the same energy he's giving his squad in league games.  

The Ligue 1 is so weak and even if we hope that another team that's not psg should win the title this season, i don't know if it can happen. Psg have not won any of their first two matches, but i know they are not thinking about it, they know that no matter how bad they are, they will win the Ligue 1, and it makes it so bad for the league, so many people have stopped watching it because it is not competitive.

Luis Enrique will fully bring Mbappe and Dembele into the squad and i believe it will improve the team, but psg want to win the champions league, but i don't think they have any chance of doing that.

the results of yesterday's games were somewhat predictable. the monaco who played against strasbourg, in this game monaco won the game without any great difficulty, having scored 3 goals and not conceding a single goal, with this very important victory for monaco they are at the top of the table with 6 points while the your opponent takes position 9, because he has 3 points. another game yesterday was lens's game against rennes, it was a game in which both teams scored a goal, but the game ended in a draw. nice also played yesterday, they also came out with a draw. while reims, who played against clermont, managed to score 2 goals and did not concede a single goal

with this victory reims has 3 points, while their opponent clermont has 2 consecutive defeats, it is not a good way to start the season, nantes also lost in yesterday's game and with that defeat nantes have two defeats back-to-back too, that's not a good way to start the season, even teams that were recently promoted did better than nantes. looking at the results of the games of all the teams I see that the only big team that got two consecutive victories was monaco

but the question is if monaco has a strong squad capable of becoming champions or not, psg with this new coach will probably not be champions, i say that because he doesn't seem to me to be a great strategist or still doesn't know what to do to bring good results for psg, so I see that this whole season psg has been performing poorly and as a result they will not be champions, they have sold good players in recent years and will not be able to make good signings, with some excesses, but I see that other teams have many chances of becoming champions this season
