[Gingers Dad]

Does Ederson even play for us anymore. I mean seriously what does he do?

 

[The perfect fumble]

He's massive Marseille fan on YouTube, does it all the time after a PSG lost.

Smashes computer screens for a living!

There are people on this forum that never learn. The amount of times I've read 'Oh I was wrong about him' after they've slagged a player off for months is ridiculous. It's not even the first time it's happened with Mahrez.

Now they've moved on to the next set of players. Sterling, Jesus, and Torres. I might have a sweepstake as to who it'll be next season.

And the thing is that all those players will come again. Sterling is just knackered (like Bernardo last season); Jesus has lost confidence, and Torres is still learning. They will all step up again next season...while someone else goes off the ball. That's the way football works.

Match Thread | PSG vs Man City (28/04/21)

are we winning over some of the media

Was able to see the replay of PSG's goal just now.

You can CLEARLY see that Dias is undercut by the far shorter Paredes (this matters) to remove him from the play and Gundo shades left due to the overload, but instead gets screened by the overload on the right:

• Before the corner Paredes has his arms up acting like Dias is grabbing him (probably to distract).
  
  
• Once the corner is taken Paredes squats and leans his back side into Dias' legs.
  
  
• Because Paredes is so short it easily undercuts Dias from the play.
  
  
• There is an overload of attackers on the right side of goal
  
  
• Gundo, who is more centre and away from the overload, decides to shade Marquinhos left, perhaps because there are few players and worries he can get a clear path there.
  
  
• Problem is there's a lot of players on the right that can also screen Gundo.
  
  
• Gundo, who is giving some space defending Marqinhos, perhaps because of his lack of pace, is now also facing the wrong way when...
  
  
• Marqinhos goes to the right/near post, not the left, and is then Gundo screened out of the play.
  
  
• By the time Dias gets away from Paredes' antics Marqinhos has built up speed and on his way.​

Watch (this is probably only for U.S. viewers):

So Micah, who I love, not so sure he's right there. Carragher agreed with him, but this looks like a set play to take out Dias and isolate Marqinhos with Gundogan.

Apparently he had more touches than Mbappe.

Some good headlines there tbf

I don't think they ran out of energy. They didn't seem to have enough quality on the ball to get out of the press.

Quite simply, they weren't good enough, they thought they were and we allowed them to look good first half, I think Pep had a go at half time and sent them out 2 minutes early. Almost immediately we were the better team, because we started defending on the edge of their box rather than just inside our half, a lot of their players aren't that good, and they couldn't get out. After the first few minutes of the second, until the last few, they basically couldn't get out of their own half, because Foden, Mahrez, Bernardo, Gundogan, Rodri, and KdB stopped them doing so, it creates space for us to play.

Did Mahrez anticipate a gap in the wall? I wonder if some analysis of PSG defending free kicks revealed an opportunity.

I like the spin, rawk would be brimming with pride at that one but absolutely not. He himself said he tried to go around the wall and missed.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Missed my 1st game of the season as started a new job on Monday and had training all afternoon with no chance if getting out of it (believe me I tried).
Switched phone off and left it in the car. Just finished watching extended highlights and OH FUCKING YESSSSSSSS

 

[cleavers]

I should imagine that they will have a tough game at the weekend too. I think they are 1 point off the top.

They play 5th place Lens at home.

 

[Bentheblue]

Does Ederson even play for us anymore. I mean seriously what does he do?

He takes the ball out of the net on the odd occasion we let one in.

 

[chaddblue]

If we win this just once... that'll do me

PL always priority after that

Yes if the wall didn't break I would have been screaming some abuse at him for taking a shit free kick as it stands he is a genius lol

Can you imagine Colin Bell walking out the dressing room to announce we were one up? Spare me the half way half time social media shit
