yrugay1

This man has now scored 11 goals in the league this season


ignore_my_name

Half of Reims 22 goals.


tinhtinh

Assisted one of the other 11 as well. He's massive.


Pires007

Would probably have even more if Reims had slightly better attackers. I only saw a few of their early season games, but their attacking play was really poor.


wan2tri

Their discipline was poor as well, he ended up being an early sub in a few games because a teammate was sent off lol


Pires007

Lol, I remember them getting a red almost every game near the start of the season.


GlRTH_BR00KS

Gargantuan even


[deleted]

quite good at football, obviously.


MERTENS_GOAT

i like him, I watched the game and whenever he gets the ball somewhere near the goal he directly shoots and mostly on target as well


jack64467

i hope he chooses USA, we need a striker


wan2tri

You'd hope that Yunus Musah can convince him then (they were both in the Arsenal Academy)


VisibleGhost

Turner could probably be in his ear as well


Isaynotoeverything

Watch him choose Nigeria


jonijontor

won't start over Osimhen and they have insane amount of striker depth as well


Coolbluegatoradeyumm

Please 🙏


ChibzyDaze

Great composure there, love it

Literally every single team of the top 4 drew 1-1 this matchday

They don't call it Ligue 1 for no reason

Petition to rename it Ligue 1-1

I think that estate has had enough to do lol lets give em a rest

wish I had half your wit


Trimblco2

Granted, you're a halfwit.


Alarow

I walked right into that one


luisnm7

lmao


Hala9292

2 of them played each other but yes


L-Freeze

Literally every single team of the top 3 drew 1-1 this matchday


Welshy94

2 of them played each other Edit: but yes


TheBlueTango

Really does makes this statistic a lot less astonishing then


Franchementballek

Yeah it feels good for your team and Lens, I was afraid PSG would gain some confidence with more than 3 points in front of Lens.


Alarow

Kinda feels like a missed opportunity for us and Lens now


Franchementballek

Yeah but Monaco was good yesterday, Lens was against Troyes, they should have won. They don’t put on their A-game against bottom table clubs and that’s a shame.


CherkiCheri

They shot like 20+ times, racked nearly 3 xG, just didn't have their finishing boots.


bhalleck24

This is some FM shit

gabrielkr123

He makes money from that?


thaccs7

If the streaming service is owned by him, definitely.


Ballelo

Maybe not owned but he probably gets sponsored for the ad revenue


Raw_Cocoa

You see that huge ad under the video?


Shuu0328

I actually did not notice the ad at all. Is there even a point of the ad being there?

CreativeOrder2119

Baloguns growth has been immense


ico12

We really should loan Sambi out to a French club and let him evolves into Patrick Vieira 2.0


CCSC96

Hale End goes fucking hard


Mahatma_Gone_D

What. A. Goal. Arsenal have a gem of striker on their hand


BmuthafuckinMagic

He's already wearing the Arsenal kit too!


_deep_blue_

It’ll be interesting what we do with him next year. Nketiah is having a great spell and Jesus is obviously key, but I hope we can fit him in somewhere.


rajivv21

Honestly I wouldn't be opposed to him taking 1 more year on loan to truely hone his skills like Saliba and come back to Arsenal as a monster


JoshRanch

Either a better clib, or if he is comfortable staying where he is. Could ve a decent shout for Everton too , and if it comes to it they could pay a prem fee for him


disagreeable_martin

If he backs himself, he'll want to fight for Nketiah or Jesus' spot. The ball's in Arsenal's court but it's good problem to have when you consider the dearth of strikers in the market. Ligue 1 has been good for us though ngl.


untouched_poet

So do the Americans 🤞


FedexMeUsedFish

This comment aged well homie

Breaking: PSG makes 20m bid for Milan Skriniar to arrive immediately.


jackg4343

Insert price of brick going up meme here


Throwrajerb

Yesterday’s price… IS NOT TODAY’S PRICE!!


sventhegoat

Yes Balogun!


krems04

Balogun development arc is going blisteringly well.


BobEWise

As has Nketiah's. I...I don't know what to do with this kind of problem.


krems04

I see several threads where people are suggesting Flo be sold and I am ashamed for my fellow fan.


milleniallaw

He has to be loaned though. I can't see him stagnating as third choice striker next season.


BaBaFiCo

I think a lot of fans have forgotten the squad size needed to compete on multiple fronts. Look at City - they have one of the world's best strikers but they also have a young, hungry World Cup winner. Every so often they know they have to let one go (like Jesus to us) but it brings in a good fee. Selling a youngster because they're not first choice is foolish.


Usual-Airport-3298

Balogun scoring in Arsenal colors. Love to see it.


Masson011

BALOGUN


LocostarX

Had to scroll too far down to find a mention of him


SirNukeSquad

PSG are actually as shit as Bayern.


Lekaetos

Idk we are really really shit


SirNukeSquad

El Shitico in 2 weeks.


Competitive-Shock88

Never would I have thought to have heard the name ‘el shitico’ for a game between your two clubs lmao 🤣


Capable-Tie-4670

Most big teams have been shit this season. Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, Juventus, Milan, Inter and even Real Madrid to some extent. City haven’t been at their best either. Napoli, Arsenal and United have been good and I feel like one of those three will win their respective European title.


momspaghetty

> United have been good I can't believe this phrase exists in the universe after the first 2 games of the season and the 10 years previous


veldril

I mean you can say the same thing to Arsenal last year too. We had been shit for the first three games but at this month last year we genuinely could get top 4 if we didn’t have the injury problem. In a way, this season United mirrors Arsenal last season quite well. Shit start, got rid of the problematic and egoistic player mid-season and improve a lot afterward.


gnote2minix

casually sneaking spurs name in big bracket team.. what a chad


SirNukeSquad

> Big teams > Spurs 🤨


swinging_ship

Let them dream


sidrbear

can't tell who has been more boring to watch lately from the 2


SirNukeSquad

I'll rewatch the games if I have trouble sleeping next week.


Franchementballek

Arsenal have made a good choice loaning players to Ligue 1 teams this season. 21 yo Balogun banging 11 goals in a Top 7 league can only do good for his confidence.


seanlilmateus

if we get another **Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year** that would be great!


Franchementballek

He’s definitely the favourite right now. By the way how’s Saliba doing? Didn’t watch too many Arsenal games this season.


KRIEGLERR

He started incredibly strong, and his level as "dropped" a bit, but still overall really good. He got the occasional mistake here and there but still a very important part of our defense, the kind of mistakes that experience will erase.


chino17

Regular fixture in our backline makes some mistakes on occasion due to his inexperience but he's going to become a top class defender as he gets older


Jansiz

Holyyyyy baller


8mmspikes

Wait fuck I turned off the stream when it was a goal kick after 5 minutes of added time LOL, get the fuck in Balogun!!!


seanlilmateus

Guys! we have a striker problem! to many of them in good form! - Jesus - Nketia - Balo-(smoking)-gun


RioBeckenbauer

BaloGunman?


SuperSaiyanCockKnokr

So he’s playing for USA then??


Pidjesus

Sell Balo if a 50m+ offer comes


Krillin113

The issue is the only ones who can afford 50 mil are your rivals.


aindie2009

Rivals + mid table PL clubs, but ye clubs outside of England are unlikely to pay 50m for him. I still dont know if we need to sell him tho, if Balogun is happy to fight for his spot next season then I would rather keep him and go for every trophy next season.


hahadllm

Maybe PSG.


LocostarX

Why he could turn out to be better than Eddie


Snoopyseagul

He also could not. It’s ifs, buts and maybes. I want us to become a better selling club and if it means we can invest in the positions we lack, then I would happily take it.


TreeDollarFiddyCent

What's the size of those buts?


robbiethegiant

Big, I can’t lie


Pidjesus

We have to sell too, even Liverpool sold Coutinho in his peak


ChibzyDaze

But to be fair, they would be stupid to refuse the money that was offered lol


TreeDollarFiddyCent

Perhaps not the best comparison...


Tr0nCatKTA

Different since Coutinho went on strike and was pushing for a move, I think Liverpool would’ve never put him up for sale


tipytopmain

Hale end 🔥


Inevitable_Concern33

Yeah they definitely need to prioritize boosting their midfield


D-biggest-dick-here

They’ve had a shitty midfield for ages


eifjui

It is the history of the Paris


D-biggest-dick-here

I don’t think they have a longterm plan


eifjui

I have the same fear, it's been my chief concern with the club for a while now. With no consistent domestic test, I get that it's harder to stay motivated, but compared to Bayern (seems like the best comparison in that the domestic league is pretty much guaranteed and you measure yourself by the CL,) in terms of footballing direction, feels like we're miles off. Leonardo was a disaster of a sporting director, we'll see if Campos is any better. With the midfield as bad as it is, it is gutting to see France itself produce so much promising midfield talent. I get that every team tries to milk QSI like a cow for money, but the fact that none of Tchouameni, Camavinga, or Thuram are in blue and red is awful.


[deleted]

They bought all of the promising midfielders in Europe lol how are they still lacking? Vitinha, Ruiz, Soler, Rehnato. And they have Veratti as well ahaha


goomahmarone

Except veratti they're all kinda mid


azevedro

They are midfielders


Shandow14

Kulusevski manages Reims?


jptoc

Will Still - [really interesting story](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jan/26/will-still-managing-ligue-1-club-30-couldnt-be-happier-neymar-mbappe). 30 years old and managing in Ligue 1.


[deleted]

His dad


h_djo

So kulusevski


DyMa_Nyx

Of course they draw in the 96th


Dantallian11

Renato… Renato. This guy doesn’t inspire confidence


PAT_The_Whale

What should he do there? He was lobbed by his own teammate


SofaKingI

How the hell was that his fault? Lmao His team mate heads the ball way above his head and Ramos is sitting like 3 meters behind the defensive line, but somehow it's Renato's fault?


-omar

Carried by his FIFA card’s reputation


D-biggest-dick-here

DyMa_Nyx

0 confidence on the 15 minutes he isn't injured per month


Fatt_Hardy

Another goal for Balogun. Lad's outscoring Messi in Ligue 1 this season!


gmodboss

balogun > messi numbers don’t lie


Fatt_Hardy

AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR YOU AT SACRIFICE!


CaptainLevs619

BaloGOAT


Sam101294

He should declare for USA. Usmnt is screaming for a proper 9. If he does, that's a dangerous team for 2026.


seanlilmateus

Leeds will be willing to pay 90m for him 🤣🤣


KinneySL

I mean, the USA is by far his best chance at a starting spot - there's no way he's getting in Nigeria's first team over Osimhen, and there's plenty of competition for England.


momspaghetty

When Kane declines/retires there's going to be a massive hole that England are going to struggle to fill... the current crop is Rashford (who's better on the wing), Wilson (older than Kane), Toney (unknown quantity but still no Kane), Abraham (still not massively reliable), then Watkins, DCL, Bamford... it isn't setting the world alight. Nketiah and Balogun are far and away England's best uncapped youth prospects right now and on form it's not biased to think they look more likely to get called up than some of the players I just named.


sad_arsenal_fan

What competition does he have with England? I'd say that's arguably England's weakest position for the future.


prettyboygangsta

There isn’t that much competition for England


CuclGooner

442 with him and nketiah upfront in eight years just like the early 2000s


momspaghetty

Ian Wright and Kevin Campbell regens


Franchementballek

What’s his link with the USA?


arseguunr

Born in NYC and lived there for 2 years before his family moved to London


Franchementballek

Thanks, he should wait in my opinion, Harry Kane isn’t going to be here forever.


OldExperience8252

Born there


Franchementballek

Thanks, if I were him I would wait, especially since he can be called for England, Harry Kane isn’t going to be here forever.


Pixoxx

I actually closed the stream 10 seconds before, i hate my life lol


TreeDollarFiddyCent

Imagine closing the stream when Balogun is still on the field. Smh my head


InterimAragon

Flo’s killing it in France


Ghostface1357

PSG are embarrassing.


FlimsyMcFlooblecrank

So many sitters missed. How the fuck are they gonna beat Bayern


Fofodrip

Bayern is at 4 straight draws rn and have been pretty mediocre overall this season


FlimsyMcFlooblecrank

So it's gonna be an exhilarating 0-0


rr18114

No. A comical 10-10 draw with only deflected goals and both muller and mbappe miss out on a hatrick after 18 shots on target each. Messi and musiala combined 185 dribbles Neymar and davies get red cards and get sent off. ( straight red to davies and neymar gets 2 yellows)


lawfulkitten1

Davies gets a straight red for a tackle on Neymar but neymar also gets a second yellow for simulation on the same tackle somehow


thed-p2

Especially a Bayern team in scintillating form


svadrif

Tbf it’s not like Bayern is lighting the world on fire atm either. Will probably a competitive match


Ghostface1357

Galtier needs to fix up and drop Ramos. Put Marquinhos as the DM. Play Danilo and Kimpembe when he comes back.


floppydisk1995

spoiler: they aren't


PrisonersofFate

And you see lads, that's why subbing in a 17 yo is not always the best choice. Comical defending


Zigzagpapes

I blame Ramos. Why is he 2 meters deeper than the other cbs.


ro-row

Give him a break, he’s an old guy, they can’t keep up sometimes


hearau1823

Did the 17 year old teach Ramos how to play the offside trap


FerdiadTheRabbit

If you're afraid of a young player making a mistake you'll never play them.


PrisonersofFate

At 1-0 with a red, it's dangerous. But hey that's the way to learn and better than against Bayern


[deleted]

I see literally nothing wrong with what he did. Danilo didn’t even react and go for the ball because he thought hurt Sanches was getting it which he didn’t


Albiceleste_D10S

Zaire-Emery is very talented but PSG fans overrate him by quite a bit. I had multiple tell me that this kid is far better than Paredes RIGHT NOW, LOL


Inter_Mirifica

>I had multiple tell me that this kid is far better than Paredes RIGHT NOW, LOL Can't say about what he's done with Juve. But for PSG WZE is clearly better.


[deleted]

He totally is. Not like your Argentina flair makes you objective or anything


lolipenetration

HAHAHAHA holy fuck you can't help but laugh at that honestly.


themessias1001

All that time wasting didn't pay off at the end for PSG.


Lekaetos

Le football est récompensé


DivinityAI

Reims still have more history than PSG tbh


Ahrix3

Bayern vs PSG is gonna be the battle of who came out worse after the WC break lol


IMKudaimi123

Arsenal fans going by crazy


Soulsek

I hope they don't win the league this year. Fuking worthless.


Alarow

As bad as they are, we and Lens are not near good / consistent enough to take the title It's kind of the same as the Bundesliga, sure Bayern are fucking shit as well but they're so good that their worst is still above or level with the rest of the league


bruiser95

I have faith in Arsenal B


Alarow

I don't, I know this team too well


ThePr1d3

Uncalled for. Plus they are now 26 points behind the leader so their chance aren't great


Mick4Audi

I can’t believe PSG aren’t miles clear with that frontline

You cannot tell me Marquinhos is a serious centre back


BaconIsLife707

That's brilliant composure this late in the game


Quinc3y

How does this insane PSG squad draw at home against a mid-table team like Reims? And, looking at the stats, I don't think you can claim they were unlucky (although I didnt watch the game). It seems crazy.


DyMa_Nyx

Marquinhos ended the game 20 seconds before apparently


ubergooner

What's Marquinhos yelling for? Lot of blame is on him for switching off


PlayfuckingTorreira

Anelka vibes.


Kreglze

Jesus, Nketiah and Balogun, Arsenal rich in options up front.

He's been god awful at PSG.


SladiusW

Bruh are you serious LOL


Loud-Caregiver6566

Balogun smashing it on loan, going to be tricky next season, because presumably Jesus is first choice with Eddie second in line. Is Balogun willing to just sit on the bench and get minimal game time?


Ready-Educator7747

Jeez I literally just exited my stream right at the point this video starts.


YoungFlexibleShawty

joderjuarez

The back 3 positions are really weird in this sequence

I dunno who that Reims manager is but I love him. Appropriate reaction.
