PSG get the small victory

Ouf, PSG final secured its first win of 2010...with a "small" victory versus Toulouse after a gift penalty kick. While they secured the essential, there is much to be worried about heading into the derby match next Sunday against OM. I am not as positive as the PSG manager Kombouare was post match!

The PSG defense did not look sure of itself, fortunately the posts were the best defender PSG had on the pitch, twice stopping strikes from Capoue in he second half. In addition, the first half penalty kick was dubious at best. Luyindula being "pulled" down was not 100% clear it was not a slight dive by the PSG midfielder. The red card that followed was also very severe for the TFC.

Guily did show some flashes but without Sessegnon and Sakho for this weekend's match versus Marseilles, this victory may remain the only one PSG has enjoyed in 2010. PSG are dropping closer to the drop zone than to the Champions League, with most of their players being healthy again they need to start thinking about making a run of successive positive results otherwise this will once again be a lost season.
