While the Galaxy Note 3 has already begun to migrate to Lollipop, the Galaxy Note 4 is still waiting thread. It was probably not the desired order by Samsung ROM but the second would be retained in a partner.

Samsung is now well into the deployment of Android Lollipop on its terminals in circulation. Two are already involved, but not necessarily those we expected. If seeing the Galaxy S5 receive the update first was not very surprising that the Galaxy Note 3 is used in the second was a bit more. It was probably even disappointing for the owners of the newest Galaxy Note 4. Needless to say, Samsung has provided no explanation as almost never communicates its updates. Faryaab Sheikh, chief editor SamMobile, by contrast, is one. And he comes to share about her Twitter .

It’s not that it blocks Samsung

Monsieur does not reveal his sources but is expressed in the present, without showing any hesitation. They would therefore reliable. And what did they tell you? Simply that Samsung had nothing to do. The ROM-based Lollipop Galaxy Note 4 would be stuck at … Oculus. And yes, the creator of the Oculus Rift also provides the software part of the Gear VR, which just works with the latest high-end Phablet Korean.

But, obviously, the link was broken with the latest updates to Google. So developers would Occulus feet and hands to ensure the compatibility of augmented reality headset with the Galaxy Note 4 sub Lollipop. Sure it would be unfortunate if the duo does not work as well since it is the only possible, the VR Gear was custom designed for the rating 4.

Meizu M1 and M1 Note: Comparison of two powerful smartphones … – Phonandroid

The latest Meizu advertisements have revealed the M1 and M1 rating. Both smartphones will show impressive on several points, beginning with a value hallucinating for such muscular configurations. Very different from one another, and the opportunity is ideal for comparing images two jewels of the Chinese market which at least should be released in Europe.

 Meizu M1 and M1 Note, the comparative smartphones

At first glance, impossible to differentiate these different models. Size aside, they are so substantially identical. One can also observe a twin design down to the materials used for the hull, the outline and present the different buttons. Like it or not, Meizu and applies a perfect continuity principle on this range.

 Meizu M1 and M1 Note the rear hull XE8 & #; re

As we said, the Meizu M1 is first put forward in its tariff. 699 yuan, 100 euros is what it will cost to walk away with a smartphone with a 5-inch screen, plus a small 64-bit quad-core CPU . Do not expect against by a Snapdragon or Samsung Exynos, here it is a MediaTek MT6732 1.5GHz.

 Meizu M1 and M1 Note, the speaker

Its equivalent with a 5.5 inch screen by the name of Meizu M1 rating. Besides superior diagonal datasheet undergoing some improvements. Subtlety here, the M1 Note is available in two versions depending on the market . One of them will thus have an octo-core Snapdragon 615 and the other a MediaTek 6752 clocked at 1.7 GHz. So there was a small rise between the M1 and M1 Note.

The M1 rating is expected for about 200 euros in Europe according to the first resellers have announced, but the Meizu should M1 remain exclusive to the Chinese market , which some probably regret with such technical details. We left on a series of images of a comparison at the top.

Galaxy Note 4: Lollipop Android update delayed by Gear … – Phonandroid

We are now late January and Galaxy Note 4 has still not received his Update Android Lollipop Yet initially expected this month. Does this mean that Samsung has been delayed? In any case, what seems to think Faryaab Sheikh, site editor SamMobile whose latest tweet even gives the reason why its deployment have been delayed .

As you probably know already, the Galaxy Note 4 is the only device compatible with Samsung virtual reality helmet VR Gear formalized at the last IFA. Compatibility and therefore requires some tweaking software for the firmware of the Phablet.

However, as can be read on the Twitter account Faryaab Sheikh, update now accuse a delay, not in Samsung, but the side of Oculus , which is currently refining the new kernel in order to ensure maximum compatilité. The tweet does not spread out in detail nor explanation, however, given the reliability of the source, it seems plausible.

In addition, it could also explain why the Galaxy Note 3 has already received updating Android Lollipop in Russia, while the Galaxy Note 4 is still left behind. Usually, the most recent models are served first and that’s the first time we observed the opposite case of the Samsung aside. In any case, we hope so that the delay will be minimal and it will be only a matter of weeks.

Last month, SamMobile had proposed a complete grip the Lollipop update Galaxy Note 4, in pictures and video. He still was a test firmware and not a final version, however, the new features and improvements were already substantial.

The note of a video game: A untouchable entity? – News … – JeuxVideo.com

Shell, test, evaluate, note are steps that comprise the process of writing a test. Be eligible for support as jeuxvideo.com to speak freely and give an opinion on the passion that drives us is a rare chance which obviously implies certain responsibilities and a certain method to which the writer can not decently avoid. We are fully aware that the rendering test will be read by many players and each published will be discussed on our forums and elsewhere, so it is essential for the writer cleverly separate from feelings that layer on the paper estimation of charms and flaws of the title he tested, the most objective way possible.

Personnel and not confidential

I’m not in the habit of using the first person singular when I write an article, those who have the habit of reading my bafouilles the probably know. That said, the following note is more the result of an “analysis” personal, which will certainly illustrated with experiences that are just as important and therefore are mine. Also forgive you please use the “I” in the article that follows.

It all depends on tester and method of work, but for myself, the testing process is often the same. Play up, try to push the title into a corner and make the most comprehensive possible turn the game before writing the first words. Test the difficulties vary depending on the product passed screened, obstacles are diverse and their nature is conditioned by the game itself. On this point, there is no set pattern but there is one on which I invariably crashes, whether popular or completely confidential stake is the fateful moment, one without which one could almost say that the test has no place: that assign ratings. There are a multitude of reasons for this, and this difficulty only emphasizes the overall impact of the notation that a real assessment difficulty.



Writing this block is not the longest part of a test, but it is not obvious either.

The rating is sacred, it does not necessarily always we will think about it. Education, and thus a generous part of our progress in intellectual education is conditioned by this: good or bad grades. However, it is necessary to apply the same system to things that are not assessable by numbers, not stupidly mathematics, simply because their perception varies from one individual to another? Can we finally delete the note of a test and not be taken for assessing the arguments of the tester without focusing on a numerical summary that will not necessarily be representative of a 10,000 written characters?



note: Fixed Methodology and subjectivity

We will agree to consider video games as an art in itself, and as a strong subjective dimension comes into account when it comes to assess. The subjectivity is indisputable, but can be greatly attenuated by practical considerations, Commons set registry husked. The life, the technical qualities (optimization, load times, etc.) are for example fixed points on which it is appropriate to use to distribute the good and bad points. One can thus affirm safe to assume that the expectation of a game bug free, well optimized and correct life is common to most players.

The experience of the tester is also an element favoring a rating. Compare to previous titles in the tested game and are placed in the same genus is also good support whether such a title is innovative or not, and need help to identify the note to give. We see it: a lot of factors help the journalist in his assessment, one could also mention the balanced business model or abuse of a free-to-play, the quality / quantity / price and other specific points which will come systematically into account when the time of writing happens.

However, and this is where the charm of any work of art, one can summarize its discovery and assimilation considerations cold and mechanical, and this is where the feeling comes, the grain of sand in the relentless cog in the mathematical evaluation. The game phase will generate emotions, frustrations and different pleasures according to the person who tries it. And the tester is no exception to the rule, his feelings necessarily come into play, even if he tries to be as objective world. If the crossing of the game was evaluated source of anger, frustration or, conversely, undisguised pleasure, like it or not, the impact on the note will be real, not necessarily determinative nor necessarily conscious, but real .

So concluding a written note is the result of a reflection leaving plenty of room to objective criteria, and to a less significant but existing subjectivity. The journalist can not claim to absolute truth, nor speak for the “average player” whose profile does not exist. To my mind, trying to write a test to satisfy everyone would be a grotesque mistake to only write the light of its objective criteria that would make the clinical test and barren . The process of evaluating a game by taking into account the personal feelings would be to abandon the basics of specialized journalism and sorely missed the duty of information that results. Thus, the test of a game is made of shades that can easily represented in a single note and some positive and negative points.



There are many profiles as there are players: define a “lambda Profile” is impossible

note as solely responsible for the fast-food consumption test?

C ‘ is one of the thorny issue of the rating system in the video game, together we can find in the chronicles of albums for example, a field in which I served for some time. The question I asked myself at the time was exactly the same as today. How to summarize my text in a note, when I know that my column readers will favor the consultant to forge a preliminary opinion at the expense of writing? On one site to another, be it video games, music, film, scales vary. Some attribute percentages, other notes 10 and our valuation range has always taken the form of a note on 20. Whatever the scale, and excluding reputations and other degrees of severity it seems finally that a test can not be summarized as a note to the detriment of everything that preceded his award. Many of us content ourselves rushing bottom of the page, take a look eye to the conclusion and read the most and least a test, to find out what it is.

To this is added the fact that the test is consumed differently in different profiles who seek a test. It seems to me, I said that I am not based on a feeling, not a concrete study that reading a test meets less a concern for a discovery that will confirm impression that we are already in a particular way. trailers, press releases, visual, news have multiplied, brief information dissemination facilities are such that one Sometimes possess a wealth of knowledge which, if it does not necessarily distort our view of the game, lead us to the test with an idea note almost set in advance. It is actually not uncommon for players estimate before the game’s release note to accompany the test.

In addition, even if we arrive with a blank look of any information on the evaluation of a game that interests us little or less, the first thing we would do would probably be to rush us on conclusion of the block to view the content and the note associated with it and we rush to move to something else if you read it does not suit us. Although not generalities, I should not be far from the truth and admit in this case, somewhat reluctantly, that this is a behavior that I happened to pass and j ‘yet adopted.

As mentioned above, it is first in the shade is made writing a test, and these shades are much more developed and legitimized in the text, which provides Expression of much wider window of a rating ranging from 0 to 20. It is to that extent that we can blame the note not to be the appropriate tool to summarize the thoughts of the author and that we can question its relevance today. Attention far be it from me to say that the writer, justifying his note, can not be affected by the error of assessment , appreciation again conditioned by the person asking the hands on the game. The reading of the entire writing allows however to understand the opinions and conclusions of the editor. The note does not necessarily invite from reading the article and shipped in a matter of seconds while logical reasoning and argued. But it also directly impacts the debate unintentionally skewing its axis of construction.



Whatever form it takes, the final evaluation is based only on the text that accompanies it.

Remove the note to raise the debate?

It is not uncommon, it is even virtually systematic, make a note debate. The exchange of views and arguments clearly is not a bad thing and is encouraged otherwise. This is in my view also in the mix of opposing opinions that is the most accurate assessment of a work of art. The problem is that the note itself is sometimes more debated than the test itself. He also common for disproportionate reactions when the 11/20 editor punishes a game that other players would evaluate more severely or more sympathetically. This is where the debate leveling down.

It happens regularly challenged us to see our notes and is quite frequently we see them challenged the arguments of yet developed pattern in text, evidence that reading is often diagonally. Syndrome Too Long; Did not Read is omnipresent and one might imagine, not without bitterness, finding that the block is now sufficient to form an opinion on the quality and relevance of the test. Being particularly sensitive to the writing, I do not agree and will never share this opinion. No matter what the rating system, whether cash or whether it takes the form of stars, gauge or pictograms, the overall rating of the game always dampen the desire to learn about all of the written. It is not a question of form, it is a question of approach.

Made true, life slice of friend Lespol, about Assassin’s Creed Black Flag

“The game is 15 or 17, but certainly not 16!” An anonymous reader

Delete note or to change?

Still, it should put things in perspective. Is note the great devil that was described in the previous paragraphs? I Do Not. I readily concede does not always wear a watchful eye on it, you’ll understand. However, to dispense completely seems difficult in that it is now a shopping guide, which allows the reader to get a general idea of ​​the game, to confront its own overall assessment of a title to that of jeuxvideo.com tester, but also to align with that of the competition. It allows for the impatient reader to remain free to consult the various Web views in one glance, he is free to read all of the tests if he wishes . In this regard, the note is useful, much less if the behavior of the player is in the attitude mentioned above that involves only be interested in a note, without reading the accompanying text. But the evaluation system would probably evolve to better meet the expectations of readers.

Keep in mind that the video market has changed dramatically in a short time. The games are increasingly delivered in kit and are likely to evolve and refine months after marketing. We are now trying, you’ve probably noticed, to adopt written type “log” for scalable products, MMO being the most representative example. It is a response to changes in the market what it is worth, but allows to adopt more flexible and therefore more relevant in the assessment of a game. But is that enough?

The interpretation of the single note: is it enough to form an opinion

What, for example, note the license annualized era? Should we note, for example, a Far Cry 4 based on changes made since the previous installment, or should we consider that the note is only for players who have never played the franchise? The note would in this case and in many others, quite different. The problem is complex. Should we not take a double minimum rating system? The player who discovers an annual license deserves just as much a test intended for it as customary in the series. If we keep the example of Far Cry 4, the game is very good individually. If you have already returned Far Cry 3, it is not innovative enough to pack you completely. But the annualization of a saga is not the only segment allowing questioning the methods of criticism in a game.

The remastered editions are also a source of conflict when it comes evaluate them. Indeed, if it is not too complicated to refer to test the original game when his successor HD edition a year after its release: what about the old editions duster titles from more than 10 years? Take for example Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Faters – 20th Anniversary Edition or the latest reissue of Grim Fandango. 15-20 years separate these new versions of their original soil. In this case, what number should we attribute when the note was much looks like a cleaver? Should we judge the quality of porting and only this, or the charms of a game successfully at the time to meet the expectations of players who have changed so much in a decade? The answer to this question lies in research to know what target are these reissues. The problem is that the answer is twofold: a late reissue might as well apply to the “old” eager to revive an expensive adventure in their hearts as young players keen to discover a new world

The Gaming Live anniversary edition of Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Faters – 20th Anniversary Edition: how to evaluate a reissue

Loading the video player …

In an ideal world, it would have different journalists having affinities with a title engaged in the test year, which would put highlight the differences in sensitivity and thus provide a more diverse range and thus more representative of the readership. The constraints of the workplace being what they are, the thing is not really an option, and it is also there that the player rating, allowing each of you to evaluate your liking your favorites heart and share your rants. This system is of paramount importance. If we willingly put aside the 0 and 20 a bit hasty, I developed systematically consult opinion delighted when my notes typed just worries me when she felt vastly different from the majority of players . Readers have this “advantage” to be able to spend a large amount of time on a game, and thus are often best able to identify strengths and weaknesses that the tester will not be able to perceive. However, the reader is not required to objectivity duty of the journalist, certainly in the case concerning the evaluation of a product if involved, and can let go more easily to the evaluation of his feelings, and his felt alone.

It would be easily possible to hold forth for hours and dissect this curious what notes the problem of a video game, but the time has come to make the pen and conclude it will perceive as a paper resulting from a desire to talk about a subject that concerns us all and we hold heart without ulterior motives. Whatever happens, and in no way diminishing the responsibility we have when we assign a rating, the only possible recommendation to be a review of a game still to try as much as possible to it, then come to discuss with the community and editors. Ultimately, more than the note itself, it is all a way to evaluate the video game that must be questioned so that the press and the public have more than one tool also fixed a gauge, a percentage or a range of numbers to sanction a culture in constant evolution.

This text is also an opportunity to take the pulse of the community and the importance it attaches to the note. How do you see, what value do you give him? To what extent does it influence your willingness to play a title over another and how do you come see a test? You would design a suppression of the note? A new form of assessment? These are questions that are not asked often enough to those who do us the pleasure of reading us, and which I hope you will answer in the comments of this article. Thank you for reading the pavement, and we find ourselves in.

TEST – Samsung Galaxy Note Edge: the price of originality – MetroNews

With the Edge Galaxy Note, Samsung innovates. It adds a bias screen on the edge of the machine to display additional information and features. But is it worth the trip? And does it justify the extra 100 euros compared to the Galaxy Note 4? MetroNews has been tested and delivers his verdict.

Aesthetics 4/5
Nice finish for this smartphone still a bit cumbersome. The curved screen effect is very successful (in fact, there are two screens: the main and the attached sideways on the edge). Apart from this difference – significant – this phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note fairly standard. While it is a little wider than the Galaxy Note 4 (4 mm longer), slightly thicker (0.2 mm) and a tad less high. Despite its chunkier dimensions, the screen itself measures 0.1 inch shorter (5.6 inches). Remains a problem ergonomics for left-handed. Although pale consolation, there is an option to return the phone. The button on the front is now in top and its fate in case of appeal in the mouth.

Performance 5/5
Here, just look at the performance of the Galaxy Note 4 and copy them word for word. We have found no difference between the two models. In short, the performance is very good and the camera absolutely fluid. Note that the camera is quite effective and quality.

Autonomy 4/5 With a battery
3000 mAh against 3220 mAh for the Galaxy Note 4 Note the Edge is a little worse, but without seeing the independence drop drastically (although about 1 hour and 30 mixed use but no differences in single call) and, despite the addition of the second screen. Compared to other smartphones on the market, autonomy is good. The device takes a little more than a day without problems, on average.

3/5 Price
A 849 euros The Galaxy Note Edge 100 euros more than the Note 4 to launch. The second screen he justifies this inflation? In our opinion, no. Of course, we here inherits a second screen but interesting potential for equivalent performance, autonomy is a little worse due to the smaller battery. The means of screen is a good idea but it still lacks application. Rest those (few?) Who agree to add 100 euros apart from other devices on the market. Ultimately, the Edge Note seems more like an exercise in style – successfully – than a really intended to sell in large numbers off

OVERALL RATING: 3.8 / 5.

To: Device well finished, originality through the second screen, main screen AMOLED Super
Against:. Lack of features for the screen on edge, unusable by a left-handed, too expensive compared to Note 4.

On the other, the Nexus 6, scion of a brief affair between Google and Motorola. If the first was expected, the second was a real surprise. In fact, the Nexus is the first smartphone 6 large size of the Nexus range. In other words, the first Google Phablet, concurrent size for Samsung Galaxy Note. On the surface at least. After all, Samsung has several years of experience at the meter and should not be taken lightly. Is the Nexus 6 really able to dethrone the king of Android phablettes? Nothing like a good old family duel to decide the winner, and computer graphics please.

samsung-galaxy-note-4-vs-nexus-6-meilleure- Phablet-graphics

Task

The Nexus 6 is bigger, thicker and heavier that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 even though they both have a plastic shell. No need to go around the bush, Note 4 is the most ergonomic

Screen

On paper, both have a very similar phablettes screen. A diagonal between 5.5 and 6 inches qHD resolution, density around 500 dpi and a Super AMOLED panel. That of the Nexus 6 is also stamped Samsung. A major problem since the Super AMOLED South Korean suffer from poor contrast and saturation. A non-issue for the Note 4 since the slab can be adjusted from the parameters, which is impossible since the Nexus 6. In addition, the Motorola phone screen also has a low maximum brightness and white that take to gray. These factors play in favor of the Galaxy Note 4 which logically won this round

Power

The technical data of the Samsung Galaxy Note Nexus 4 and 6 are as alike as two peas. Snapdragon processor 805, Adreno 420 GPU and a 3 GB of RAM. Still, the Nexus 6 takes advantage of the Samsung device. The explanation is to be sought in the operating system. Indeed, the Nexus 6 embeds the latest version of Android, Lollipop, while the Note 4 is still running Android 4.4. Thus, Note 4 uses the Dalvik virtual machine while the Nexus 6 uses the new virtual machine ART. The latter is compatible with the 64-bit architectures, unlike Dalvik machine Android 4.4. If all this technical crap does not speak, just understand that the Nexus 6 is more powerful than the Galaxy Note 4.



memory

The Nexus 6 comes in two distinct versions. The first with 32 GB of free space, the second with 64 GB. For its part, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is satisfied with a single version of 32 GB. However, it has a micro-SD card slot and may extend its 128GB storage capacity Point to Note 4

Maintenance

The Nexus 6 embeds the latest version of the Google OS, ie Android 5 Lollipop. A version lacks wrapper which most, so he receives updates as they become available. For its part, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is still running Android 4.4 and more struggling TouchWiz, the overcoat house of Samsung. The latter is probably the most controversial of all as its ecosystem is rich but overloaded. It is clear that the Nexus 6 is ahead in terms of user experience.



photo / video

The Nexus 6 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 are equal in terms of photo party. The prowess of the two sensors are equivalent, that is excellent in good light conditions. However, both phones falter when light is lacking. If the Note 4 catches up the matter with a very convincing optical stabilization, the Nexus 6 can rely on HDR + quality. Difficult to separate the two moving on this, so the duel ended in a draw.



Battery

6 Nexus and Galaxy Note 4 conceal both a battery of 3220 mAh. One could legitimately believe that autonomy is equivalent. Yet the Note 4 seems to be a more enduring hair than its competitor. Both machines cashing at least one full day of use, but the Samsung Phablet can reach nearly three days that is if we do not force-intensive applications. Note that the two mobile is compatible with fast loading technology to reach 50% of battery in 30 minutes on a course outlet.



Price

At the same capacity (32 GB), the Nexus 6 is cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with a gap of almost 100 euros . Point for the Nexus 6, although it should be remembered that the Note 4 can accommodate a micro-SD card.



Conclusion

galaxy-note-4-qi-charging-backs

You must know Qi. This is one of the (too) many standard to recharge a mobile device, only having it on a recharging base. By default, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is not compatible with this type of recharge. To change behavior, just change the back cover of the phone. Samsung has just begun marketing two hulls allowing the terminal to support wireless charging Qi . There are two types: a simple shell and another type S-View

Our colleagues Site Androidcentral were able to test the two hulls.. The first (simple) adds a thickness since the terminal is almost twice as thick as the basic hull and a little heavier. S-View hull provides almost the same feeling as the S-View Qi shell without support. For the rest, the two hulls do their job and no problem is reported. For now, the two shells are unavailable in France, but can be ordered on the site Shopandroid.

I love you, me neither. If we trust that reported today GizmoChina whose skills in Chinese are higher than ours, Xiaomi could implement a fun idea in China. This was announced by the director of media development Xiaomi would be to exchange Apple smartphone against the latest mobile unveiled by the brand. Indeed, provided that the phone is in working order, it might be possible to exchange or iPhone 5 5S against the Xiaomi Mi Note no additional cost, or iPhone 6 or more against a 6 Xiaomi Mi Note Pro .

This method should not really appeal to the Cupertino, already annoyed since autumn and plagiarism accusations made by Jony Ive, chief designer of the brand . Since then, the admiration of Xiaomi Apple seems to have eased and the builder is now playing on rivalry. Admittedly be defined as the number 1 enemy of Apple is also a good way to become known throughout the world, prior to launch products. Finally maybe that’s the great Xiaomi strategy to conquer the West.

In addition to its marketing program, Xiaomi would launch an application on the App Store, for organizing a Quick Migration (contacts, data, photos, etc …) to an Apple device to a Xiaomi smartphone. Practice in case of exchange, right?

Paris of the head and shoulder – Debrief and NOTES players (ASSE … – Maxifoot

Widely domineering little dangerous but nonetheless, Paris Saint-Germain has still managed to win 1-0 at Saint-Etienne on Sunday. Naively pushing the ball of the shoulder in its surface, Clement gave the three points to Parisians

Paris of the head and shoulder. - Debrief and NOTES players (ASSE 0-1 PSG)

The PSG Ibrahimovic won 1-0 at Saint-Etienne.

The Paris Saint-Germain has won this clash of the 22nd day of Ligue 1, far from having fulfilled its promise, by winning the smallest of the scores in the Cauldron (1-0). An Ibrahimovic penalty sanctioned a very disappointing Drill team on Sunday.

Ibra wanted

Under the impetus of a highly mobile Ibrahimovic, Parisians were starting strong this meeting and would not let breathe the Greens, although Ruffier spent a very quiet first period in its cages. Interest in the game, the champions of France but lacked edged approach the opposing cage.

The Greens protest in vain …

We had to wait the hour to finally see Ruffier endeavor. Angled closed Ibrahimovic took his chance but the porter Etienne interposed. The last bastion of the ASSE would nevertheless have to surrender then on a penalty Swedish (0-1, 60th), following a hand ball Clement in its surface. The Greens had protested in vain, touch the ball of the shoulder is considered a handling error in the regulation.

Late in the game, Cavani thought to double the lead a superb lob but the bar that rejected his bid. The score so would not move. With this success, PSG still third, returns to the tune of OM in the standings, 4 points leader Lyon. Saint-Etienne, under the threat of Monaco, is now 4 lengths of the podium

The note of the match. 5/10

The shock of the 22nd day of Ligue 1 has left us hungry. If they had the possession and delivered some beautiful sequences of play, however, the Parisians rarely worried Ruffier. In the other camp, Sirigu has it spent an evening with hands on hips …

The purpose

– Wanting to rule the danger in its surface, Clement looks but not enough to push the ball in the chest. This is that the shoulder of the key. Mr. Buquet gives the penalty, converted by Ibrahimovic (0-1, 60)

The NOTES players.

Maxifoot awarded a note (10) commented to each player

The man of the match. Thiago Silva (7.5 / 10)

The Parisian master confirmed his return to the forefront. Well placed, strong in the tackle, sharp in its interventions, the Brazilian has left nothing to Etienne attackers

SAINT-ETIENNE.

Stéphane Ruffier (5) : alert a shot Ibrahimovic, it must unfortunately bow from the penalty spot two minutes later

Kévin Théophile-Catherine (6) : Etienne right side has shown solid on its side. He defended well, without risks

Paul Baysse (6.5) . One or two approximations but also lots of sharp interventions . Former Brest has often dismissed the danger behind

Loic Perrin (6.5) . Stéphanois the captain has also made a very good copy Central hinge. A solid game again

Franck Tabanou (4) . Stéphanois left side suffered in the first period and could be quickly ruled out for a villain gesture on Matuidi. It is a little later reintroduced

Jeremy Clement (3) . Stéphanois the middle fought in the middle but his team leaden with what caused the penalty box. He thinks the right thing to do but did not know that the shoulder was considered one hand in Regulation …

Fabien Lemoine (4) He ran after the ball a lot but rarely caught. He finished very tired. Replaced in the 82nd minute with Landry N’Guémo (not rated) who played his first minutes with the Greens.

Romain Hamouma ( 3) : we expected a lot more from him. Former Caen will set no difference tonight. . Disappointing

Yohan Mollo (4) after a complicated early game, he took up his head a little. But it was still insufficient. Replaced in the 82nd minute by the young Jonathan Bamba (not rated) , which had its first appearance in Ligue 1.

Mevlut Erding ( 3) : Private Greens of the ball, the Turk did not exist during this meeting he crossed like a ghost. Replaced in the 67th minute with Alan St. Maximin (not rated) that has not been able to report further.

Ricky van Wolfswinkel (3) : it is reported that when picking up a yellow card in the 20th minute. A very poor performance

PARIS SG:.

Salvatore Sirigu (5) : the Parisian porter probably not expect to live as quiet evening in the Cauldron …

Marquinhos (7) with absences Van der Wiel and Aurier, the Brazilian was still incumbent on the right side of the Parisian defense. The former player of the Roma has again made a beautiful print. Solid back, often seen before, he may cast doubt in the mind of Laurent Blanc. Dutch and Ivorian are they really the best

Thiago Silva (7.5) : read the comment above

.

David Luiz (6) : quietly, the Brazilian proved applied behind. A clean match

Maxwell (5) . Serious provision, without more, the Parisian left side. We have seen little offensively but if Hamouma did not exist during this meeting, it is not foreign.

Thiago Motta (6) : the Italian international has produced a good game in midfield. He moved the ball well and allowed his team to have control of the debate

Marco Verratti (6) . The former player Pescara has also delivered a good game in midfield. Originally several interesting situations in the second period. Replaced in the 85th minute with Yohan Cabaye (not rated)

Blaise Matuidi (6) . His old lawn, international tricolor was effective in midfield. He scratched balloons and tried to project forward

Lucas (4,5) . Brazilian failed to upset the Etienne defense even if it showed a great relationship with Marquinhos on its right side. Replaced in the 75th minute with Javier Pastore (not rated) near being decisive passer for Cavani but the Uruguayan found the bar.

Edinson Cavani (5) : fairly quiet overall, it was reported néamoins providing its share of defensive efforts. Late in the game, it’s an easy to register a superb goal but the bar that pushes his attempt. Replaced in the 84th minute with Ezequiel Lavezzi (not rated) that has not had time to shine.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic (6.5) : highly mobile, the Swede has won many to orchestrate the game around. After a strike well blocked by Ruffier, he opened the scoring with a brilliantly placed penalty. Author of a nasty foul on Hamouma which only earned him a yellow in injury time.
