Paris Saint-Germain endured another disappointing outing in Ligue 1, falling 2-1 to AS Monaco on Friday, marking a frustrating start to their season.

The French press was quick to criticize the team's performance, with player ratings from L’Équipe highlighting the lackluster display:

• Safonov: 3
• Hakimi: 5
• Marquinhos: 5
• Pacho: 4
• Zaïre-Emery: 5
• Vitinha: 4
• J. Neves: 4
• F. Ruiz: 5
• Akliouche: 6
• D. Doue: 5
• Kvaratskhelia: 6

Only Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Magnes Akliouche received any praise, while the rest of the squad, largely made up of players from last season, struggled to find their rhythm.

Despite their slow start, PSG is not panicking. The team is focused on improving as they aim to peak in May rather than September, a strategy that has worked in previous seasons. However, complacency has emerged as a significant challenge, and the team’s inability to overcome it has been evident.

Additionally, concerns about Matvey Safonov's form persist, as he has conceded 6 goals from just 9 shots on target this season. The performance of summer signing Lucas Digne also raises questions, adding to the team's woes as they look to turn their season around.
