With the path through the Champions League a little clearer, Unai Emery had to get his squad focused on a very tough Saint-Etienne side who came into the match level on points with PSG. With Stephen Curry watching from the stands, Paris struggled in the first half despite being up 1-0 after 45 minutes thanks to Edinson Cavani's penalty kick. There were more defensive deficiencies and at this point it all can't be placed at the feet of Thiago Motta, who made yet another start in midfield.
Of course though, all eyes were on Neymar to see if he could keep up his blistering form. The Brazilian had an off game by his standards but still managed to get involved in all of PSG's goals. Unfortunately, Angel Di Maria continues to be a square peg in a round hole. The Argentine is simply not working out on the wing and changes need to be made.
There are some warning signs for PSG despite taking maximum points from their first 4 matches but the train is rolling. Emery has his team right where they need to be heading into the international break and with potential signings on the horizon, things could get even better. Support this podcast
