Paul Le Guen has returned to France, after a very disappointing time in Scotland, this is a talented coach and I am sure he will have success in Paris, but it will not be easy.
PSG sit just one place and 2 points, above the relegation zone and play their "game in hand" tonight, against mid table Toulouse, who arrive buoyed by their 2-0 win over runaway league leaders, Lyon, last weekend.
Le Guen's side are without a win in 8 and reached a new low last time out with a 2-1 home defeat, against 10 man Valenciennes, who had managed only one point and 4 goals, in 10 previous away starts. That result was the final straw for the board, who dismissed coach Guy Lacombe the next day, paving the way for PLG's return to Ligue 1 and the club he played at for 7 years.
Despite just a couple of days in charge, he will pick the team and has promised to attack and go for the win. They face a difficult trip to Champions League place chasing, Lille, up next, so anything other than maximum points, could leave them deep in trouble.
I think the urgency of the situation and the new coach factor, will "kick in" and PSG will grab 3 vital points. They are without Gallardo and Baning, the visitors have Ebondo (key defender) and Cherfa suspended and several others missing through injury. The following squads have been named for today and have been taken from the PSG official website.
PSG :ALONZO Jérôme, ARMAND Sylvain CHANTOME Clément, CISSE Edouard, DIANE Amara, DRAME Boukary, FRAU Pierre-Alain, HELLEBUYCK David, KALOU Bonaventure, LANDREAU Mickaël, MENDY Bernard, MULUMBU Youssuf, PAULETA Pedro,
