Great summary.
To be honest, he was prone to missing some crazy sitters in the past, but he always had a good goal scoring record over a year.
Yeah that narrative never made sense to me. Higuain, however, you can't convince me isn't a big game bottler. I've seen him miss more big chances in important games than any of the other big name strikers.
Tbf, the league is a bit ridiculous, PSG have a +63 goal difference...i mean...they're good...but really?
It wasn't just a game against Chelsea. I think it was that season in general he had a few games in the CL where he missed a lot of easy chances.
True enough. I really hope he does a Cristiano & does a small tour of European powerhouses. He'll be 23 when his contract ends, so there's plenty of time for him to go PSG > Real > Bayern > Milan or somethingTbf, the league is a bit ridiculous, PSG have a +63 goal difference...i mean...they're good...but really?
Agree with your point about Mbappe though, he's amazing. Although i'm beating Ligue 1 a little bit he's completely ran it since the age of 18 in two different sides, went to the world cup and again, ran it at the age of 20, winning it in the process, and then comes back to have his best season so far and showing the world that they've no need to worry about Neymar, Cavani, etc. being injured as he'll win the game for them.
The only mark against him is squandered chances but they don't even matter much because he makes up for it in the game anyway. If anything, the chances he misses are just stopping him getting to a Ronaldo/Messi level of goal return but he's got plenty of time to get there.
PSG > United would be fine tooTrue enough. I really hope he does a Cristiano & does a small tour of European powerhouses. He'll be 23 when his contract ends, so there's plenty of time for him to go PSG > Real > Bayern > Milan or something
I've said it before, but a front 3 of Martial/Rashford/Mbappe would be like porn for fans of fast attacking football. I'd honestly love to see it.PSG > United would be fine too
You really have a hard time analysing Ligue 1 here, it's a bit ridiculous when you read redcaf frequently and read all of these "farmers league" comments.Tbf, the league is a bit ridiculous, PSG have a +63 goal difference...i mean...they're good...but really?

If anything it just exemplifies PSG dominance compared to the rest of the league as the next closest to them has 43 less, whereas in the PL it's a bit closer. I never said that the league was a farmers league, but there is no doubt that PSG are so far ahead of the rest.
I see where you are coming from but the first sentence "the league is a bit ridiculous" led to this answer. The league isn't ridiculous but the context is, basically PSG are one of the top teams in Europe and the only team in the league that can actually keep its best players, particularly attacking players. The other teams are continuously fielding new and young players who despite being talented can't really compete with the regularity and experience that seasoned players like Neymar or Cavani have or the talent of someone like Mbappé which would be true in pretty much every other leagues in the world.
Would be fantastic with a creative midfield. It's my FIFA front line
He misses a lot of good chances for a striker of his calibre. His movement is the best in the world of any striker by a distance though so he gets a lot of good chances. Huge fan of his but he's definitely prone to missing easy chances.
I was making more of a general reply, triggered by your post I admit. On the previous page someone wrote :
Only Madrid, us and City really afford him.
You watching the games? The product is dreadful. Roustan on commentary helps drive that point.
That's not even remotely my point.
Not trying to be a dick by bringing up old posts, but does anyone still think any of this lot are better than him?
Yeah he's better than all those players except for Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar.
Isn't it strange that Griezmann isn't in the list? Also I think that Griezmann is one of the better players.
And against Barcelona, and multiple other big CL games.
Kun, Costa, Kane can be considered better. But Mbappe hasnt peaked yet.
You can argue Griezmann I suppose but if I was picking a side I’d have Mbappe ahead of Griezmann all day long.
Griezmann is a system player, Kylian transcends those.
I think he's mainly wondering why Griezmann isn't in a list mentionning name as absurds as Morata, Lacazette, Lukaku or even Suarez this year when he truly is a world class player and far better than them.
Have you spoken to him personally?
- Very doubtful, can't see PSG going all the way, they're still lacking something
I give it 2 years before the actual rumours starts and 3/4 before he leaves because PSG will probably offer him 1B a week to stay...I seriously doubt both of these. Winning the CL with PSG is certainly worthy, but why would he want to linger at PSG for 7/8 years. Others have mentioned it, but PSG is a big fish in a little pond. Unless he goes to England, Spain, or possibly Italy, his only other option is Bayern, which is in a slightly stronger league, but it's more of a lateral move in terms of what the league itself can do for his stature.
Still think that Griezmann is the third best player in the world (maybe even second if Ronaldo continues regressing). Mbappe will be better than him soon though, and better than anyone else.
And City have to break their 'policy' of signing £40m - £70m players.
And Harry Kane scored a brilliant solo effort goal.
