Ligue 1 gets a bad rap, if Nice only finished 9th, it isn't a bad standard. Lyon and Monaco missed out on European football next season. It will be interesting to see what happens to the standard when it goes to an 18 team league for 23/24.

He's a regular starter for a top half Ligue 1 side, a league which is higher quality than the SPL. No-one really performed at the world cup, playing in a midfield two didn't help.
If he's on reasonable wages (I'd hope so considering the stupid money Juve paid him) then he's worth a punt for a year or two. Would easily be our best player
I think we saw last night all we needed to - If you cannot raise your game when leading your country against a team ranked 70 places below yours and in front of a full house - I think the time may have come. All glorious careers come to an end.
I would like to be proved wrong. But time waits for no man... If it didn't we would have John Toshack up front.
He's going to be a 60 minute game then off to the showers player
And that won't be every game
If something can be worked out then great
Ok yeah he scored the pen apologies.
Performance wise there wasn’t many if any worse than him. He could hardly move, couldn’t keep the ball he looked well past it and it was no surprise he retired. Others struggled including Ramsey but they were still able to put a shift in.
