Lemar has such a wonderful balance. We should be looking at players like this heading towards their prime.
Ligue 1 | French Football 2017/18
- Thread starter bucky
- Start date
Likes to go centrally like all our other players though, every pass of play I've seen from him so far is him cutting inside or going centrally.
Really not a LW even if he lines up as one.
Monaco having lot of possession, but zero end product.
Edit: 1-1 Jemerson!
1:1 Jemerson
I hope people see how high Fabinho plays.
Feck me, watching other leagues really makes you appreciate the intensity and hustle of the PL.
Not exactly edge of the seat stuff this.

All those players don't have that low centre of gravity and balance you want from the central players though. Mata for example is perfect for teams that sit deep. He can't lose his marker, can't turn a defender, etc. All our so called central players/10s don't have that poise you want from players who help you open teams up from the middle, with the possible exception of Mkhitarian.
Besides these days proper width is always given by fullbacks.
Monaco close to the 2-1. They haven't played that well, but they deserve to be up.
The PL has plenty of slow boring games. This game's been great so far. Nothing wrong with the intensity at all.
Great tackle by Jemerson to prevent an 1 vs.1.
August 4. Like 30° heat, 80% humidity
Yeah I guess you are right, match has been a bit of a letdown compared to the free-flowing Monaco I often saw last season though.
Guess losing all those players will take some adjusting.
It's no different to last years early CL games.
1-1 HT. Dull game.
Monaco have been exerting more and more control over the game since Toulouse's strong start.
They've not done all that much with that control so far, though.

This Lemar's free kick was very good. Good save.
Good goal by Tolosa again, but Monaco's defence completely cocked up.
Wow. Toulouse ahead again.
If Toulouse wins, PSG will be champions IMO
Jeez Sidibe.
It's on Sidibé and Sidibé alone.
New season, and still Sidibé finds new ways to let you down.
Falcow 2-2, good goal.
What a half so far! 2-2 El Tigre!
Let's fecking go
Like last year?
You have lost against them last season?
As great as Sidibe is attacking wise he can single-handedly lose you the game with his defensive lapses.
Monaco lost 3-1 at Toulouse.
Mbappe gone down awkwardly on his knee... doesn't look good
English commentators got a bit excited about Mbappe possibly seriously injuring himself. Weird.
The BT Sport 1 commentator just about had an orgasm when Mbappe looked injured there.
Thankfully he seems OK.
Monaco are playing Mbappe too wide.
He's looked much more dangerous since moving to the wing, if anything he is a little too deep, having taken Lemar's spot.
Mbappe is so good.
3-2 Moutinho.
3-2 Monaco! Has Glik touched the ball?
Glik!
