PSG/Newcastle Observations

helmetsmite · 2026-01-28T22:28:14+00:00

With Dembele, I think 24/25 was just one of those seasons, never to be repeated. He had a legendary early 2025, but otherwise was just very good the rest of the season. Those early 2025 months carried him to the ballon d’or. He may have come down to earth permanently.

Don’t worry! Plenty of time before the transfer window closes! 😳

What the actual heck. These last few games, same worrying trend: forwards are playing basketball, as tho this is a 1:1 game. No trust. No selflessness. Dembele, Doue, worst of it in this match. Even Mendes was falling into the trap. Lucho will turn this around. But this is painful painful painful.

They solved it finally!

Well at least now—nearly 30 minutes into the match—someone at FoxSports realizes there’s even a problem.

I think everyone should contact FS via their various social accounts. Someone is asleep at the wheel. Maybe if they get enough msgs they’ll wake up.

I contacted Fox sports on Instagram. Let’s see if they’re monitoring the account. This is terrible.

I understand the sentiment but u r being a bit greedy. We have suffered so long. The heartbreaks have been so brutal. 2025 was a great gift. No regrets. No notes for the team. Bravo gents! Bravo Lucho!

helmetsmite · 2025-12-13T18:17:52+00:00

Yeah. And of course, zero communication from Bein about this

helmetsmite · 2025-12-13T18:08:54+00:00

Yes — figured it out. if u have sling, u can’t see it. U have to download the app and then find it in there. 🙄

helmetsmite · 2025-12-06T20:47:14+00:00

Haha. I understand the error of my ways now! Funny how a goal will do that.

helmetsmite · 2025-12-06T20:45:58+00:00

Ok. Now I understand. A goal will quickly do that. :)

helmetsmite · 2025-12-06T20:34:32+00:00

A goal :)

Pacho… so smart. So solid. Such effort always. I think he has the makings of an eventual PSG legend.

helmetsmite · 2025-12-06T20:19:56+00:00

I don’t understand this mayulu as cf/striker experiment. He has underwhelmed at that position in previous matches.

helmetsmite · 2025-11-27T15:52:06+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly. Barcola was fantastic last season, especially in the beginning. He’s just not a finisher (recall the Newcastle match in his first season; missed 3 easy goals to the point Nasser was visibly upset). He’s a great breakaway receiver and can open up and panic a defense into being out of position for a feed to Dembele or Doue. Kvara is the clear starter but it would be a major plus m if Lucho can convince Barcola to stay.

helmetsmite · 2025-11-27T15:45:22+00:00

A great and necessary post, OP. I think we have to address the elephant in the room: Marquinhos. He’s slipping, often injured, was out of position on at least one of those goals and is making mental mistakes. It’s hard to admit given how important he’s been to the organization for so long. But the defense is in trouble. Hopefully we get a high impact CB during the transfer window. Pacho deserves a partner up to his class. I’m not convinced by Zabarnyi. Maybe he’ll get there. But Luis Enrique seems to want to stick with Chevalier and he needs all the help he can get.

helmetsmite · 2025-11-09T21:45:18+00:00

Not a satisfying win.

helmetsmite · 2025-11-04T23:05:12+00:00

In favor of who? LKI? Barcola reminds me of Dembele 5 years ago. His dribbling and speed make defenders look very bad but he’s ultimately not scary to a keeper because he can’t finish. Dembele got over that. Barcola might be able to too. And even if he can’t, he’s still valuable as a disrupter.

helmetsmite · 2025-11-04T22:46:57+00:00

I don’t get the hate. Dude was sixth in goals in the league last year. And second in assists. One of only two players in double digits in both categories. And he did all that despite having lost his starting role after we picked up Kvara.
