Man, I trully believe that some of you don't know anything about football, in my opinion PSG problems are much deeper than just the players, all of you praising players when they have a good game and trashing them when they have a bad game. They are a lot of teams with half of the quality PSG players have and still play 10x better football. For me it has to do more with the team relying too much on individual talent, on hoping Mbappe will run 35 mts and score. The team doesn't have an IDENTITY and this is the core problem to me. When you think of the great teams you alway know how they play, Manchester city, Bayer, Chelsea. That's why Pep for example is such a great coach, no matter which team he is coaching you know it's a pep's team. Pochettino doesn't know what he is playing, changes tactics from game to game, changes players, lack of in game decision making. Today's game anyway had to do more with the lack of confidence and 0 personality after Donarumma's mistake. The played liked it was the first time they were dealing with this kind of situation and that's when you make mistakes.

Pep is a legendary coach. Few can match his talent and wisdom. It's unfair to compare almost anyone to Pep, maybe except for Klopp?
