Poor man's Leroy Sane
Kylian Mbappe | PSG
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
More downs than up. He only just turned 19 though so inconsistency is to be expected. He's still managed to score 16 goals and have 14 assists this season.
He's been very good first part of the season, only his finishing was a bit average.
He hasn't really found his form since being assaulted by Lopes in 2018.

In the French league in by far the most dominant team - that doesn't say much.
Lost his way the last few months. He started the season on fire though, looked bad against Real
Well said, not sure if Neymar is affecting him (he probably is) but he's showed some consistent levels of selfishness this season. At Monaco he had a manager who wasn't afraid to bench/protect/help him. Emery is a pawn, M'Bappé came with big money, he has no power over him.
He's at the wrong club and in the wrong league. Needs to leave PSG if he's to grow as a player and individual imo.
Last season when everyone was hyping him up I had no opinion of him because I didn't really watch Monaco. Since joining PSG, I've caught a lot of their games and I see the hype. He'll be an incredible player.
Indeed. Fat chance of that happening though with his 150m price tag. Be hilarious if he left on a free in 4 years
They are nothing alike. Weird comparison.
Neymar coming has just had so many bad things that came with it .. Mbappe and Cavani have both looked well not happy at all...
What are your sources?
Selfish and immature taking that shot on in the first half instead of looking for Cavani. It could have changed the tie.
Should have took less money and gone to Madrid imo, he'd have been the successor the Ronaldo and had everything to become a legend there. He's 19 though, this is normal and he'll show up at his best eventually. Hopefully he gets his form back before the World Cup.
He was very good and promising until December.
Since 3 months, he isn't in a good shape.
I hope he will be good at the World Cup

Mbappe was signed after Neymar.
He’s 19, and class imo. Just a rough period
He will be a great player. The whole French team is stacked.
I dont think he was worse than Neymar in the first leg or than Di Maria today, what says it all. I thought PSG could win but we can see that Real Madrid is just superior as a team.
Remember Barcelona in the CL last season, not even Messi will look great when the team is not working well.
Cavani was offside on that anyways IIRC. He's only turned 19 in December so of course he's still going to have moments of immaturity when he makes poor decisions.
He's a fantastic talent who struggled to have an impact over 2 legs against Real. I wouldn't worry about his future.
I don't think it explains the outcome tonight or the performance of M'bappé
He’s young. I think the people claiming he was already a world class player, top 5 in the world etc has turned a lot of people off him. Too much hype.
IMO Emery made a mess of not playing him on the left, especially with Neymar out, doesn’t look natural for him on the right and severally limits his x factor.
Well whoever made those claims were delusional with not too much football knowledge.
I think he's better on the right, he can beat his man then cross and his finishing also looks more natural from the right.
No it really doesnt .. But The Brazilians have made their group there with Neymar being the top Brazz not sure this is a great group to play with to be honest... That said I for one hoped that PSG could throw Real out but like always they come up short ... Like you said hardly the shambles it was last year but not really a step forward either ...
Cheers, thought as much. Nothing surprising considering his age, as you said. I remember people last season being convinced that he was already world class.
Few OTT reactions calling him shite or over rated after 1 game is silly. He's a wonder kid and already a brilliant player. He won't hit his prime til mid 20s and he'll be frightening.
Last season, Monaco was champion. This season, PSG will win all the 3 domestic competitions. Compared to last season, it's better but insufficient at the European level.
I hope we will recruit Jardim next season.
I think he was the best player from PSG today - noone was good, very poor atheletic perfomance, no fighting spirit - but at least Mbappe fetched his balls in the midfield and showed some sort of tempo and pressing - We expect something better for his pricetag, but for me he was the only one really trying to force something in the offense. And yes his attempt was very poor when he should have just passed to Cavani.
Yes absolutely. He's young PLUS still a relatively new PSG player.
He could have at least tried switching things up during the game as it clearly wasn’t working from the start.
Winning all there is domesticly should be the bare minimum with this squad, it's clear that the ambitions are aimed much higher. Round of 16 wasn't it thats for sure... Jardim would be a great addition ..
Last season, we weren't champions.
That said, there is no denying that the PSG management wants to win the Champions League asap.
If we're honest, it's the reactions from last year that were over the top.
The truth lies inbetween.
Typical knee jerk reactions based on one game. Players threads are bumped on a game to game basis to either to praise the player to ridiculous heights or the typical overrated or insert this player is better than him. Rinse, repeat by the time the next high profile match comes around.
He was being called world class and the best young forward since the Brazilian Ronaldo, after a good 6 months with Monaco.
He can still be all of those things
Way to miss the point. He was being called those things at the time. Not that he might develop into them.
