PSG v Metz [R]

[gaijin]

Letizi is a doubt for the game.

But I think the support of the PdP shall lift PSG to win this one 2-0. :)

Pauleta and Kalou to score. ;)

Allez Paris! :cool:

[ilv2]

il semble que ce supporter messin doute ça ;)

We should be beating Metz. No question.

0-0 would be unacceptable. We need a healthy three points...straight away.

You know how PSG love to start the season off in craptacular fashion.

I'm with Ganu. Metz barely stayed up last season and they are missing lots of players. PSG need to seize the moment and get a resounding 2 or 3-0 win. Great sides beat the clubs their suppose to, if PSG want to compete for a CL spot and challenge for the Ligue 1 title.

I think Kalou will make a big difference this year. Finally we have someone other than Pauleta who can score...also Dhorasso will be a good option in midfield.

anybody else going to the game tomorrow night?

Can you please give us your impressions?

[cmaddict21]

Can you please give us your impressions?

yeah...i am really excited. I feel like this is the year for PSG to get into the champions league, although I dont think they will win Ligue 1. From talking to my friends, Rozenhal can be a threat on the offensive end as well as a rock in defense. It sorta makes me angry that I wont get to see the entire campaign...

I'll post my impressions on saturday morning.

[ilv2]

first day of ligue 1, i'll be listening to RMC

i find it irritating that Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, even Ajaccio have local internet radio stations that provide full match coverage, but Paris does not.

[gaijin]

Used to, but there is a contractal dispute over their right to broadcast the matches...

[ilv2]

I am surprised that Cana is on the bench for M'Bami....

Hmmmm.

Best formation Lolo could have picked, although we still need another option upfront imo.
