Sometimes PSG can perform well when there is doubt that they will be able to beat their opponent and vice versa they can be very disappointing even though the team they are facing is the bottom team but they can only play to a draw. 

PSG are undergoing a rebuild and it is only normal to have shocking embarrassing losses here and there. Against Newcastle United, PSG simply crumbled mentally and tactically and while we blame the players for poor performances, we have to blame the coach too for a poor outing. Eddie Howe simply outclassed and bossed the PSG mega team. Good points for Newcastle United, Enough matches to bounce back for PSG in the champions League.

PSG should bounce back in the league game comfortably this weekend.
Are you not wrong to say that? I don't see any reasonableness achieved by Paris Saint Germain, because they feel this kind of result not only this time, but some time back also displays something similar. I would say it's natural when they overhaul the whole squad they have. But the fact is that currently they still have good players, even they have a star labeled player in Mbappe. If you say what they are experiencing is normal, then where were they some time ago when they performed more or less the same performance? maybe now they are declining from some time ago. And it shouldn't happen to them and it's not right to say it's normal.

An overhaul that comes with the consequences of a temporary loss in quality is different from what PSG has done. That overhaul includes many young talents that still need to be developed and are still prone to making mistakes. PSG dumped another money bomb to buy Dembele and Kolo Muani. These are players that don't need much time until they are able to play at full capacity. Imagine a team was to buy Mbappe, Haaland, Alvarez and Vinicius Junior and they lose the first 5 games. Would you say that it is normal because this team made an overhaul and first needs time to sort out all issues? Of course not, because that is the reason you buy a player for 100 million instead of 10 million. PSG has to deliver instantly. That's the point of making these investments and by the way that is also the reason why there are no excuses for Chelsea either.
