Kylian Mbappe | PSG

[Ecstatic]

Players, coaches are rated, assessed and criticized. Why wouldn't it be possible for referees?

The reality is the great games are allocated to the best referees so, in a certain sense, a poor referee is generally punished sooner or later

In theory, freedom of speech should be part of the game. In practice, it happens some referees are sometimes threatened by fans so I would recommend a formal procedure to express grievances.

It's the job of a coach/manager to exert pressure on the arbitral body.

I prefer to listen to a player like M'bappé rather than a player saying the usual platitudes.

That said, PSG suffers more from than a complacent coach than refereeing.

 

[Ecstatic]

Actually he upset a lot of French fans recently for immature comments about the match against Marseille as well

You would have been a great journalist

 

[Ish]

Saying refs should be punished is laughable. Perhaps players can help refs perform better by stopping the constant flopping about and playacting and whining. No other pro sport where both teams are constantly trying to cheat and influence the officials.

They do make it next to impossible for officials indeed.

9 goals in 6 games in the league. Playing on the wing. At 18 years old.

It's mental when you stop and think about it.

2 goals in 6 league games this season. 2 goals and 3 assists in 6 games. Also wing means not as traditional winger, they play as wide forwards.

It's also completely false unless you're being sarcastic.

2 in 7 right?

Yup. It's 2 in 7. He also played in a league match for Monaco.

 

[KM]

That happens any pricey player though, it's the jealous nature of football. Like I said I haven't seen him/PSG play this year but at the start of the season I'd have swapped 10 Rashfords for him. The fact that they were mentioned in the same breath was hilarious.

Has more goals and assists in less minutes in the league this season inspite of playing in an inferior team and superior league.

Mbappe is obviously better, but stop acting as if it's blashemy to compare the two. Also the fact that you haven't watched him play at all this season makes the statement more hilarious.

Why does his trophy look better than Ronaldo's ?

I'm going by Wikipedia. Thought it sounded too good. You mean Wikipedia lied?

Yes, looks like someone edited it.

Yeah Wiki usually sucks. I tend to use whoscored.com for stats, they also give in the minutes played stats which is better rather than appearances.

The same golden ball trophy. Ronaldo will get his Ballon'd'or later. The new FIFA trophy is a new one.

Ah, I see now. In any case, it's well deserved.

Cameroon iirc. Mother is algerian

Fifa decided to splash the cash out of the bung they got from PSG in the deal

 

[Sammyjunn]

His brother has a very ''Nigerian'' name, I think he has roots in Nigeria but his dad is indeed from Cameroon.

Ethan? That's also a pretty common name in France among younger generation like Kylian.

His middle name is Adeyemi, whilst Mbappe's middle name is Sanmi which both are Yoruba names.

 

[JPRouve]

I see. yeah that's Nigerian alright.

 

[Raoul]

Sounds like he's having a dip in form

[Womp]

Ye he started the season like a house on fire but has been struggling as of late.

 

[edcunited1878]

Teenage sensation having a dip in form...shocking. He's human after all!

 

[Pink Moon]

You'd think a home game against Anderlecht would be the ideal game to play him in to try and find a bit of form and confidence rather than bench him.

 

[Raoul]

Probably just the run of the mill sophomore jinx. Just look at what happened to Martial, Rashford, and Januzaj in the year immediately following their breakout year. Its just a part of the development process. In the interim, it may be a good idea to avoid portraying him as if he's the 2nd coming of R9.

I still think it's too early to say whether this is a dip in form or last season was a purple patch. He's looked all along like a goal every 2 games kind of player to me. That's still good but people have gotten carried away.

 

[kouroux]

Why do English journalists call the PSG-OM match "Le classique" when it's not even called that in French ?

Aye, great talent that he is, I doubt I've ever seen the hype go as OTT as I have with Mbappe these past few months.

 

[Treble]

What happens if Mbappe has an underwhelming season? Have PSG to sign him next summer no matter what?

 

[KM]

Yes they've to sign him unless PSG are relegated this season. Not really an option.

 

[Ecstatic]

Lol the title.

He played 14 games this season and just needs rest.

Marketing hard to build up a one team league and the owners want it compared to other historical revelries

That's not what I meant. In France this fixture is refered as "Le classico", basically a shit copy of the Spanish name. I don't get it why English medias translate into "Le classique". If anything they're being more sensible than French media by using a French word
