Sochaux v. PSG

Emotional and concentration let down after CL. Complete horror show tbh.

Van Shat Wiel - got raped again. Shouldn't be on the team sheet imo.

Alex - Scored goal. But also got raped often. Typical Alex.

Sakho - 3rd goal was on him. He ran out of gas and didn't cover. But was the most solid defender. Also scored a goal.

Mehwell - Didn't do anything t on defense or offense.

Verrati - Can't defend. I don't know how many times Sochaux players got a free run going at the back 4 starting in his area. Good distribution... but he has to defend better.

Matuidi - typical game.

Pastore - Pretty good. most dangerous player for psg.

Lavezzi - Had some chances. But mostly under par.

Ibra - he's off form, plain and simple. His runs are passive.

Chantome - Typical game.

Sirigu - not very good. Bad with feet and second goal should have been saved.

Only thing of note is PSG Youth player of the year in 2012, Kingsley Coman (he is french lol), got some time. Only 17. He plays CM is part of France U17. More highly rated than Rabiot coming into this year lol.

Game came all down to the adrenaline withdrawal post CL game.

Carlo should NOT have tried a god damn 4-2-2-2 for no reason (last tried it vs Nice, which failed) and it resulted in the signiture PSG defence being over run again and again.

I do not know how Van der Veil even has the license to be called a Right back, let alone a footballer. Alex can score all he wants but will continue to be the mediocre CB that he is.

Carlo got carried away with his Chantome love, he is an impact man, a stabilizer, I Keita, cannot start. Verrati simply couldn't be offered protection in such a formation and with Matudi having to put in a double shift, it only served to hinder things.

I don't thing Ibra is off form as he created multiple chances and passes up from deep for PSG yet the finishing of Pastore and Gamiero tended to fail him. He simply needs a rest after playing many games and having a lot on his shoulders. It happens to him around this time of year.

Much can't be judged from this game since Sochaux were just on a mission while the refereeing quite obviously has proven to dislike PSG and Ibra especially. Lyon destroyed Borduex 2-0 and this loss ignites the Ligue 1 race once again with PSG only 3 points ahead of Garde's team. Match vs Marsielle will be more crucial than any match this season.
