Re: Ligue 1 16/17 Thread

We had the worst start last year, so? We had a terrible summer. The fact that we had a terrible summer doesn't mean that PSG's summer was good. Not that it matters though, is that what some here would call "strawman"? Laughing

The issue has a lot to do with the CF position. Its 50 goals to replace, it'll be extremely hard. PSG will probably win the league again cause the gap is still wide, but lets see how much less they score.

Cavani scored 31 goals in the season Ibra was down 4 months due to injury (2014-15) and had 25 goals last season as well.

You don't need to replace Ibra's 50 goals... because Ibra had 30, 41 and 35 goals the seasons before at PSG and the team wasn't any better or worse. In fact, it was a big problem last season because Ibra was trying to hoard all the opportunities since he knew his contract was ending. He wanted to justify his next contract.

As long as Cavani scores 30+, which i'm pretty certain he will if he stays healthy... you're fine.

You don't need multiple 30+ scorers on the same team Laughing

as far as a straw man... if you want, although I disagree. But then you're being a hypocrite since you're a Juve fan Laughing

The good thing though is that PSG is going to drop points until November imo... until everyone settles into the new tactics and players find form within it. During that time, if Lyon, Monaco, etc. get really hot, they can build up a lead over PSG. If that happens, Ligue 1 will be competitive until the end this season. Lyon and Monaco are actually quite talented. If they stay healthy, they will get quite a few points and force PSG to play well.

I'd talk about OM... but what's the point. My goal for them is that they avoid relegation Laughing

Balotelli already matching his goal tally from last season.

Look at Gomis trying to put Balotelli off before his goal, how ridiculous

DEM Nice fans in Bayern jerseys :bow:

I hate OM. Really do. They have 3x the budget of Nice and somehow end up with all the scrubs. Of course... we're counting on Lass and Diaby to be healthy and productive Laughing

Lass is good for about 2/3 of the game. Diaby is good for about 2 weeks a season.

Balotelli was brilliant though. Scored a brace.
