Surprised to see the two new signings starting. VAR handball penalty for Metz and a straight red for the 2nd game in a row for Monaco. They're a shambles but they're also the most unlucky club in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, it appears that they will struggle again, although I'd be shocked if they are battling relegation, as I predicted them to be lower mid table by years end.

Eco Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 I'll ask for my other French lovers to chime in @...Dan & @Batard I actually wrote down a preseason prediction for this league, and had Rennes a solid mid-table team, but after beating PSG today and sitting 2nd due to GD, I'm curious if this is a team that realistically will be fighting for a CL spot.

Thoughts? It's not entirely impossible but they've lost Sarr who was one of the key players as @...Dan alluded to. To beat PSG is a big result though at any stage of the season. Maintaining a good start in the season is difficult but at least they've got some momentum. Sarr was a very impactful player but if a player like Niang can replace such an impact they've done well. Still think Top 4 will be PSG, Lyon, St Etienne & Lille, not necessarily that order. It'll be a big ask for Rennes to get enough points to breach that top 4 though. They were quite some way off last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

...Dan Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Another lineup I don't understand. Badiashile at right back? Or a 3-5-2 with Onyekuru at wing back? We'll see. Hopefully this is the last game we see Glik and Jemerson together with Maripan coming in. Adrien Silva should make a big difference in midfield, I don't trust that defence though. I liked Glik when he was at Torino, but he's become awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really could end up in another relegation battle if this start is anything to go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
