Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

[KingLeo10]

Messi and Mbappe look much more comfortable as a duo rather than when Ney and Di Maria are added on top.

 

[DonAK]

I don't get what Poch is doing.

If you want to play a 4-2-3-1 why not Neymar at LW, Messi at CAM and di Maria at RW? That way all three players will play in positions they're more comfortable in. Maybe not Neymar, but he looks washed up and Di Maria on the LW is useless.

 

[KingLeo10]

Poch should be figuring out a good midfield setup for CL KOs rather than shoehorning in 4 attackers.

I know his hand may be pushed from upper echelons but come on dawg...

 

[KingLeo10]

We need to bring out that 352.

Gets more out of Mendes and Hakimi ✅
More defensively solid ✅
Puts Messi and Mbappe in their best position ✅

Who are the 5?

Neymar should just take a 8 month vacation with his sister.

My midfield would be Veratti, Paredes and Gueye

Who are the 5?

Mendes and Hakimi at wingbacks. Then a midfield three of Verratti and two from Paredes, Wijnaldum, Gueye, and Herrera

 

[jamrock]

Very wierd 4-2-3-1

 

[KingLeo10]

Mbappe and Messi as free attackers...in a 3-5-2 would be very much like EV's 4-4-2 with Messi and Suarez up top...except I think much better because Mbappe has pace and the defense and midfield of PSG > Barca 17-19 midfield and defense

Neymar needs to go.

 

[pregra]

Poch with the cardinal sin of playing Di Maria on the left doesnt help either. He is shite in that position 100% of the time these days.

The US beIN analyst team is blaming everything on Neymar and that PSG doesn't have enough hard working attackers/mids to cover for MNM. Have to agree with them, Neymar is like a downgraded Messi at this point of his career.

 

[Rassvet]

Isn’t Neymar on like 35m net until 2026 though?

 

[soul24rage]

The fact that Poch thinks 4 attackers, 3 of whom who don't defend, is the way to go....

I would have that the loss to Rennes might have opened his eyes.

This was always gojng to be an issue

 

[feggydinho]

Messi just wasn't needed at PSG, Fielding the current type of Messi and Neymar is a disaster to any team, their problem though.

 

[SmilerBam]

So are we settled that this transfer is a fiasco until now? We are shite because of it, Messi is clearly unhappy there, and QSG even more unbalanced. Thank you Laportameu.
