Fluctuat

Yup, poor Atleti. Btw, Chelsea is about to do some very great deals if things go through: selling Luiz for a stupid fee, buy good players in some needed positions with reasonable costs. Well done, simply well done.

Do you think he has been AXEcutionned ?

Hi guys ! I really don't know what will be the tactics for Tuesday, but PSG philosophy is to play his own game. So, it is very possible we will not just park the bus as you seem to think. I can see Chelsea putting a lot of pressure early in the game and PSG trying to hold it and then trying to develop his passing game. As usual, small details will decide the outcome (referees, set pieces, individual mistakes, luck...). I saw your game versus Stoke City and i'm rather confident PSG can go through. However as i said previously, you never know. Hope Cavani will do his job (he is playing very very bad since his injury). Have a good night.

I always kept respect in your forum. I didn't even translated the fact that i'm very happy my side won yesterday. I,m keeping pragmatic because i know you are obviously feeling bad about the loss and there is no need to brag. It would seem classless. I brought up some debate for you but nobody is answering: Mourinho stated you did well in the first half, that everything was under control. What can explain the failure in the second half ? I think it is a sensitive point, because if you can address this issue maybe you'll have more chances in the second leg.

There is one who is not speaking a lot these days, but he seemed to know about PSG before the draw, didierforever that is.

Oh thanks ! One of a few times, i find you fair. ^^ Hope you'll put your best side in, that there will be a lot of emotions through the game, lot of goals. No need to say which side we want both to go through !

So first, we were told we were bad because of L1, now we are bad because of Blanc. Yet, he still beat the master genius on your bench.To be honest, i rate highly Mourinho and i have made no certain judgment about Blanc. He is still a young coach and will have to prove. Like the ones of Avb who was supposed to be the special two and proved only at Porto. Not speaking about one not so great coach who didn't last long at CFC bit actually won you the UCL... The thing is, a lot of you seem bias by the fact you are mostly watching the PL and some of the great sides from the biggest league. Judging by some reactions, you were thinking alex was substitute, cabaye was starter (while verratti is way stronger) etc... I won't tell you this is bad because i can understand you are not willing to see the L1. But trying to explain me why my team is so shit is odd. I came here to give some input about the PSG side and i'm glad to learn some things about your side too. For example, i have been a lot disappointed with Oscar and Hazard. There are always a lot of shittalk about PSG offers for this two lads and i would have thought they would have been more influential. To be fair, i think that yesterday was your best asset and once you lost it in second half, you were nowehere to be seen. Luiz was Luiz. I mean he did really good pressing but, unfortunately for him, his mistakes cost you big time. Willian did a good pressing too but then he had no gas, no energy when you had to attack. Ramires were fearing another yellow card and did not much. I felt like your midfield was tired in the 2nd half and Hazard was too isolated to make anything. But it is just my perception, that is why i wanted to know, as Cfc fans, if you feel it was just a tactic or if your side was very tired and couldn't much.

Do you know the club has only 4 decades and is the one who has won the most in the past 20 years ? We aren't (yet) an european giant but we are surely a big french club... I really don't see the point of belittling the others. We were better yesterday and will come to the bridge with a nice lead but i don't think you are a shit club either. You'll have to do your job and us ours. At this stage, the smallest details can have a big impact: poor header= lavezzi goal, zlatan loss of the ball = penalty, luiz foul=lead to owngoal.

What does this even mean ? We play 90 mins game aswell. Not all our games are easy, and when they are it is because we make it easy. We have our Lorient, you have your Crystal Palace. You just failed to beat them. Before the game, people were saying we were shit because L1 is "mickey mouse" league, now you're implying we are actually lucky to play in L1.

Verratti is not injured, he was just exhausted. By the way, according to you, were Chelsea players tired in the second half or was this just a tactic ? Because you did great pressing our midfield in the first half and then let us control the game and paid the price.

I'm not complaining about them, just pointing that they are our leaders and failed big time yesterday. So there is still room of improvement for next week.Cavani touches were horrible and destroyed all our attempts and if you look at your penalty, Ibra lost the ball stupidly, while there was no threat. What i mean is you can expect to be better next weeks but we can too. Lavezzi, Pastore and Jallet who did great yesterday are prolly the less in form players we had this season.

Of course, i think he will have for at least 4/6 weeks !

Speaking about forwards, Ibra and Cavani were really poor today. They missed all they tried to do. We were lucky that "el Pochtron" manned up today. We trashed him all the season but well he has done ok today so props to him. Courtois on an another hand is a fucking beast. You'd better not lose him, it would be one of the worst mistake ever. Football is about cycles and you have some big prospects, maybe they are not ready now but in some years. No need to offload half of them as i see in some posts.

As i was pointing out yesterday. You never know when you'll face an injury. Now that Ibra is probably out for the rest of the season, it is fine to have a second striker. After his comments, he will have to show he can shine alone in the forward position in the remaining game, because lately he has been pretty poor.

Yeah, actually i was thinking the same. We were thinking Lavezzi and Jallet would have been the weak links but they did very good. Ibra and Cavani were poor/average. And i would have never thought about that Pastore wondergoal. I literally jumped out of my seat and screamed !!! PSG was poor in the first half, due to very good Chelsea pressing. You could see the two faces of Verratti, he gave away ton of balls in the first half but step up his game in the second half. I'm actually sad Ibrahimovic have been injured, might be the end of the season for him and we still have important fixtures (UCL second leg, Coupe de la Ligue final..). I won't brag because you are all sad about the loss but saying PSG is a joke while you have been defeated sounds bitter. KTBFFH: blue team won tonight ! Hope we will see a great match next week: PSG has a comfortable lead but you cannot surrender. If you don't believe in now, when will you do ?

Everyone with the blue team tonight !!!

FYP It is Cavani who forced the owngoal. BTW, it is a very nice preview, great job !

Yes, but you have to pay what is needed to have the player. Last year, you weren't willing to pay big bucks for Cavani and you didn't get him. I think Leonardo had full power and the owners were trusting him, so if a player was going to take X amount of money in order to get him, be it. We have still not replaced him yet, and the owners seems a little more cautious because they are questionning the quality of the players, Olivier Letang or Blanc might aim. For a non FFP, rich as fuck PSG, 45 M is not that a big deal but for what he does at the moment, it is of course an awful amount of money. When you see a Gotze for 38M for example....

I'm hoping for an Atletico win (because it is the only team i like in Spain) and MU win ( i can't stand Bayern Munich). Tomorrow, let's BVB win and PSG of course. Writing that, i'm realizing there is very few chances i'm right, sadly. DREAM BIGGER. I hope that tomorrow you'll honor your slogan KTBFFH and that the BLUE TEAM will win !!!

I have explained the situation already. We bought Cavani because we were playing with two strikers last year. Zlatan is 32, he won't last forever. Having two good strikers can be useful if one has a drop of performance, if there is a huge injury, if you want to have differents option tactically. The major reason we are playing 4-3-3 too is because of Thiago Motta, he is the one dictating the team tempo. Last year, he was always injured. We are lucky this year, he has never stayed fit so long in one season; and he is aging too. Laurent Blanc didn't renew his contract already, which means that maybe we will lay another formation next year. We absolutely need a second top striker for these reasons.

First of all we are PSGFC fans, not CavaniFC fans. Last year we were playing with Ibrahimovic and Gameiro upfront, but the latter wasn't good enough. Leonardo was seeking for Cavani a long time ago and before his depature, he finally bring him to us. Secondly, Ancelotti left us and we weren't prepared for this, so we had to bring in a new coach. As you know, a new coach has in own ideas (like Mata your two latest season best player who was substitute as soon as Mourinho came in). He started the season with a 4-4-2 but we were utter shit. Then he tried a 4-3-3 and it works a little bit and then better and better. I hope that Cavani prefer winning playing at his right position rather than losing playing as a pure striker. About the joke Mourinho made about Ligue 1, we can say the same with Bundesliga and Bayern. Of course, our squad has a lot more quality than others and Monaco is an hybrid team (some top players, some players from Ligue 2, some who have past their prime). But we can't deny the guys are doing the job anyway, like true champions. If you know something about PSG, we have an history of big chokers or unlucky guys. Like we had 16 points lead and we finally didn't win the league. Like we were winning 0-3 at La Corogne and we took 4 goals in the 25 remaining minutes (all headers). So now, having true champions, true mentals leaders, true professionals is very good. And you might think winning the league is nothing but it makes us very happy. Yet, we are expected to win it but it is always an achievement. Moura is a very cool and kind guy but a weird player. The guy has all you want but not waht makes you a footballer. ^^ I mean he is lightning fast, he is physically ready (not always the case for Brazilians), he has dribbling skills but he has a terrible decision making and rather poor at finishing. Recently, he did show a lot of improvement. If he can keep getting better, it will a be very good player. Let's hope he doesn't stay that raw.

Thanks for the answer ! We really understand what is FFP is about and it is not very "fair" rules. For example, in France we have bigger taxes (now even a 75% tax on the earning above 1M) for decades. That is why at start the best players (and now even the average) were leaving among other factors. To earn as much as in England, french clubs have to pay a lot more (about twice sometimes). Contrary to the "La Liga", the TV incomes are equally spread. Also, French clubs are not allowed to have debts like English or Spanish because of the DNCG. If not you are relegated to amateurish level. Due to this limitations, french clubs can't really grow. As soon as you have a good talent he will go abroad, because he will be paid more and he will have more chances to win something. The clubs are getting weaker in the field then, and won't be able to compete in financial terms too. Who will want to buy a Brandao shirt in the world ? Who will want to pay to sponsor a no name team ? Qatari are actually doing dumping, splashing ton of money to build a strong side in the field with big names for the merchandising. Ibra is known worldwide and his name is associated to PSG. Our incomes are grown a lot recently. Without the mega QTA deal, we will be around 250-300M. They are marketing around the name of Paris, a capital of luxury. They even changed the logo to make more space for the name Paris and less for the "Saint-Germain" part. I'm not that confident aboutt he FFP because UEFA reportedly found our board a bit contemptous and they'll have to make something not to appear like fools with their FFP. Platini has already stated they'll not ban us from UCL next year but we can fear a big fine. On the other side, our owners are thinking they are doing the things right and they'll prolly sue UEFA. In my opinion, the most fair rule would be to allow any team a maximum budget so that everyone has the same chance at the start, but it is not legally possible.

First of all, we are interested in Luiz but as a CB and it seems that your two last managers don't think he is relaible enough at this position. I really hope we (PSG) aren't going to splash big money for a player who will not necessarily fit our need. Secondly, if we were going to sell Cavani, we would be forced to go for another top striker and it will be hardly achievable. Who is good enough, available and willing to leave his side to come at Paris ? I mean most of our big transfert targets were from the Calcio where clubs are in dire need of money and still have good players with "reasonable" paycheck. The least but not the less, PSG is not a selling club and has more CB solutions than strikers, so the Cavani-Luiz+money is not good for PSG. However, Qatar is a little country which is using ton of money to make himself influential. Lately, they had some clashes with Emirates and The Saudi Araby. As soon as Qatar will disappear, this will be feasible.

I think that by now, we should speak more about the game incoming that FFP. If we score early in the game. If we can do so,i'm pretty confident we will win this first leg. PS: how can i delete my previous message ? And what do you think about PSG kits ?
