Paris Saint-Germain (H) - CL SF | Pre-Match Thread

[BluechesterCity]

For all the diving that Neymar will be doing it wouldn't surprise me if he came onto the pitch wearing swimming trunks and goggles.

TalkSport is all united, yet on the media thread people are complaining that nobody is talking about united.

The papers are full of it and I'm fuckin' sick of all that MiB break in bollocks, old news now. I witnessed more commotion going on pre crimbo 97 when trying to buy my daughter a teletubby than what happened yesterday. Not mithered about the fuss caused by a few hundred dipsy rag tinky winky's getting up to a bit of mischief,.

City could spank PSG 6-0 later and it still wont be big news.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Why do I keep getting this question

I don't know. Why do you answer a question with a question? Just answer the question, eh ?

The big thing to remember is us scoring first doesn't change anything. Our only objective tonight is not to concede twice. Achieve that and we're heading to Istanbul.

I hope we do score first. It means we get extra time if they score 2, it takes the pressure off and the players know if we get another the game is ours.
The last thing we should be doing is trying to park the bus, it’s not how we play.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Are we actually playing tonight?

It's just that the anti-City media gave us more coverage in the full members cup final than tonight's (alleged, it seems) CL semi-final. Hateful twats.

Fuck em who cares

It will change the colour of my underpants if we don't score first.

You're right. I remember trying to buy Tellytubby bedding for my niece in Ashton Market in 1997. Now THAT was commotion. Everything's so half hearted these days.

I'd genuinly start Sergio just to give them some more to think about. Was very sharp saturday

We might not have a choice of parking the bus, it could be like the Alamo for the first 20 odd minutes , if we can sustain that and start to control the game and take it to half time 0-0 we should, should be alright as long as we stay focused second half

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

No

So you're not English or a Manc then. I already thought you wasn't because of first your silly fanboy quote : )

 

[Prater70]

To be fair to Cancello he won every challenge with Zaha on Saturday.

 

[B\connellblue]

Theres going to be a onslaught in the first 30 minutes we just have to survive that and we should be good.

No there won't. They play on the break for the most part. We have them were we want them. Rodri needs to we awake, not be looking to pass it backwards and getting dispossessed which happened several times first leg. Never get a better chance to win it.

 

[roubaixtuesday]

Dodgy penalty to PSG after 30 seconds, Neymar slots. Mbappe scores worldie after 5 minutes. Stones gets away with wild challenge then gets carded for pulling back Mbappe.

City then batter PSG for the 90, 35 shots, hitting the woodwork 6 times but no goals.

Finally, Foden hits a screamer on 95, extra time.

Sterling and Agüero come on, score hatrick each in extra time as Neymar and Mbappe are both sent off in total meltdown. 7-2 City.

Headlines "Lucky City go through after Stones Escapes Sending off"

 

[Airbags Optional]

It will change the colour of my underpants if we don't score first.

From brown to a darker brown with yellow bits

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

It's going to be interesting to see how PSG approach this game. Both them and Dortmund tried to hit us early with relentless pressing and it was effective as they took an early lead. But both tired later in the game.

PSG need two goals (minimum) to go through on the night, so will they try the same approach again or will they be more measured?

Likewise, do City try and do the damage with an early goal? I suspect we'll be relatively cautious in the first few minutes, to try not to give them an incentive. But talk about a fine poised game. If we show the same composure and belief as we did in the second half of the first leg, we should be ok. Really looking forward to this now!

Let’s get the job done tonight, i’m going for City 2 - 1 PSG
Let’s win it in Istanbul for Sergio!
He should be the one who lifts the trophy if we win it.
If there’s a god, this will happen!

Lets win the trophy for us lot!

We need to be braver than we were in the first half last week. There will be a temptation to keep our fullbacks back to defend the counter but the issue is we lose a lot of momentum going fowards.

It's finely poised but I'm hoping the fact that PSG need to come out will leave us some gaps to exploit.

 

[Heath Park]

Need to keep it tight at the back.
PSG will want an open game.
Play rope a dope 1st half and tire them out. 2nd half take control...
