Looks like a crazy formation.
At first I thought it would be Kehrer as LWB, but it is actually Di Maria at LWB and Kehrer in midfield. He is not "very" good, but he is extremely versatile, that's why he was so much worth. Can play any position at the back, any position in a 3-man-defence, wingback on both sides and as a defensive midfielder.

Areola

Marquinhos Silva Kimpembe
Meunier Kehrer Rabiot Di Maria
Mbappe Cavani Neymar​

So something like that then?

Yes. Just had a quick glimpse into the game, but that's what I could gather. Dunno why Areola is playing, Gigi was superb the other day.

Marquinhos in midfield and Kehrer RCB. Kehrer now out, Meunier RCB and some young dude named Nsoki as RWB

Watching Nice-Dijon on a stream and it's terrible. It feels like I'm watching the highlights instead of the match with all the buffering. All I'm seeing is replays of what has happened prior. Bah!

Vieira's looking good, though.

Well done Dijon. I don't know how Nice didn't score - 4-0 was a very harsh scoreline.

Didn't see much of Sliti which was a shame, but he really should've scored his chance before Keita buried it for 3-0. Cyprien for Nice also stood out.

Vieria going to get sacked soon I think, 3 defeats out of 3.

Nice sold too many goals with Plea leaving and Balotelli on strike.

Awful start to his Ligue 1 career for Kehrer, once Tuchel yanked him out, they started to look much better. I'm all for a jack-of-all-trades, but he has to show far more. Still early days, but very unimpressive and scared performance from the youngster.

How come Le Celso isn't starting?

He'd be a good pick up for many clubs if Tuchel dosen't rate him.

@JPRouve any reason why Jorge is completely out of Monaco's team? Did something happen? Is somebody going to leave, considering they are probably signing Henrichs? I mean they already have more than enough FBs.

Jorge hasn't been good and spent a lengthy period of time out of the team last season, grandpa Raggi was used instead of him. As for Henrichs, he used to be a CM so I wouldn't be surprised if he is moved there at some point and Sidibé's knee is apparently a concern.

Thanks, thought there was more to it.

he played about one or two professional games in midfield. The few minutes he played in this position in the CL match 2016 against Monaco were the exception. I am not sure he played a single minute as CM ever since. He helped out a decent amount of times as LB.

4 goals in 3 games for the kid, not a bad start and keeps saving this team with his goals/assists. The defense looks really weak. They really need to fix that or it's going to be another early exit from the CL.

Marseille are very much like Arsenal, their games are very entertaining, many goals scored in them. Enjoyable football if you have nothing to do

How are PSG playing under Tuchel so far this season? Im a big fan of his ❤
It's difficult to judge the quality given the disparity between PSG and the rest but the football seems more exciting than what I watched last season.

His BVB team were really exciting too - the CL games will give a better Indication if they've made any progress.

Tuesday's going to be a cracking watch I feel.

Klopp and Tuchel as well as two of the best forward lines going up against each other.

From what i've seen, liverpool psg has the looks of a silly 7-5 score. PSG are bad at the back. Real bad. But they have Neymar, Cavani and King of France up top themselves, and there's no defence keeping them out if they're in form. And Mbappé is hotter than the sun right now

Back in my hotel after the Marseille 4-0 Guignamp. Awful first part (0-0), but a truly exciting second time. 2 great (2-0 and 3-0) goals. As always, cracking supporters and cracking stadium ambience/chants.

What is this "farmer" epidemic that we see on the caf lately when talking about Ligue 1?
