I do feel they never get any wins against the decent teams in Ligue 1.
That seem to be the case this year, among the top 5 teams they've played they've only beaten Marseille. 1 draw and 2 losses... But they win almost everything else. Only 1 draw in the other games (against Reims).

Relative to the talent they have in their team, PSG are the most boring team in the world.

PSG is such an underwhelming team for all the stars they have, they scrap so many results in Ligue 1, when they have like 1000 times more money than the rest of the french teams.

Another year wasted at the UCL when they get eliminated by the first serious team that don't have defensive blunders.

Is there a single team in Europe besides Napoli and Arsenal playing good and successful football? Real, Barca, Atleti, Bayern, Dortmund, PSG, Milan, Inter, Juve, United, Chelsea et al. Everyone is trash

Drawing at home and it is pretty clear that something is not all right. People can only guess but I think that players relation with eachother (beacuse of some things) and how team have been built is the problem.

Money doesn't win you anything, having the right players does

Of course money buys success. Why are PSG and Bayern winning their league every year? Why is City so dominant?
Maybe that should have said money doesn't buy you everything? Neither City nor PSG have been able to win the UCL despite the expenditures.

All over the place
That goal for 1-1 was absolutely laughable. Reims pulled a counter on them in the last second of the game. If you are a serious team those things can't happen. Not to mention all the walking around in the defensive phase from Mbappe and Messi.

They look more like vanity project then a team.

How come United haven't been winning for years? You can spends as much you like but unless you buy the right players you won't win feck all

Because United isn’t the only team in the league spending that much… If United were playing in a league where the second richest team was 4 to 5 times poorer than us we would be winning despite the bad spending..

They seem to get so many red cards, Verratti comes on and sent off within 10 minutes?! Neymar sent off v Strasbourg a few weeks ago aswell. Ramos of course got sent off in the Reims away game. :lol: Think all their stars are just bored playing french league.

Monaco and Marseille away coming up shortly so they need to get focused again otherwise Lens will pull a Montpellier miracle title win which would be ridiculous achievement.

Balogun having some season btw. Wonder if Arsenal will give him a chance given how Nketiah has kicked on in last few months.

Ah, forgot about Neymar‘s suspension
Yes but I think it's more concerning for PSG. Bad losses and when they won, it is hardly convincing. Terrible backline and lack of alternatives for the front 3. They played around with the Ziyech deal as well as Skriniar

Lens dream run at home comes to an end with that loss.

Ramsey inspired Nice with a revival of sorts here. Very disciplined performance.

Paris (without Mbappé) just got kicked out of the French Cup by Marseille.

If Poch was in charge his thread would have been bumped so many times this season. Even after Galtier's positive start many said Poch was holding them back.

He may still go onto win the CL this season but I don't think the job is as easy as some make out.

I don't understand your point.

PSG was unbeaten before the World Cup. Neymar returned with niggling injuries, and now Mbappe's out injured.

PSG play overall has improved a lot compared the what happened under Poch. PSG being a Hollywood FC and lacking concentration is the difficulty for the manager no doubt. Doesn't vindicate the extend of Poch's struggle.

I just thought it was funny how every bad result or performance was highlighted and there was talk about how Galtier is proving Poch to be out of his depth. They started well, no doubt but I wasn't impressed with them in the CL group stage despite mostly good results, nor in their recent games. It doesn't vindicate his struggles but his criticism was over the top on here imo
