Paris Saint-Germain (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

Mbappe gives up chasing a through ball if he sees Walker is nearby. Navas can't kick. Could go on ...

He obviously knows he can't handle Walker - who is very fast and muscular!

Maybe Pochettino is what is wrong with PSG

Pochettino is a pawn at PSG. He is powerless.

He has to play the front 3 or be sacked.

The front 3 don’t work for the team.

You cannot defend with 8 men against top sides.

They'll win their league and go out either in the next round or the quarterfinals of the CL.

That PSG front 3 seemed to exist in a world relatively unconnected with the rest of the team. Sort of expected that from Messi but the lack of workrate for Neymar and Mbappe surprised me.

Perfect just fucking brilliantly perfect from first whistle to last whistle.

Even in America, where Paramount fucked me out of everything beyond the 35th minute amid spotty reception on a beach in Hawaii, we are not immune from the press cuntery:

Headline from ESPNFC:

Amid Man United link, PSG's Pochettino puts on happy face, but loss to City hints at trouble in Paris​

Yup, fucking Paramount. I switched over to Univision and stayed there the rest of the game. The commentary was better too...:)

 

[BringBackSwales]

Battered PSG with no KDB, Phil, Grealish and Torres, that’s a lot of missing creativity

Yup, fucking Paramount. I switched over to Univision and stayed there the rest of the game. The commentary was better too...:)

Had I been home I would have. Instead I drank a lime squeeze with double vodka and had my friend in New York text me play by play :)

Class game, class performance, top night!

Everyone played well, can’t fault anyone. I reckon that’s the best we’ve played in Europe.

Atmosphere was okay first half but very good second half and most stayed until the end n’all… take note regular league game fans who don’t bother with CL games, you’re being shown up by a load of nobodies for atmosphere, actually turning up and staying to the end! These nobodies are welcome back anytime, even if they get the words wrong to all the songs because at least they’re fucking trying!

There are two sides to that story. The nobodies turning up for champions league games are the glory hunters who would have been nowhere near our ground in the bad old days. They won't be there for run of the mill league games now either, even though tickets are often available. They will bust the bank for the glamour ties and for many it will be a one off experience, or two or three games a season so they will make the most of it as it's a special occasion. Lots will be staying in hotels in central Manchester so no need to rush off to get home.

I will agree though that some of our long standing fans you'd need a second opinion to check if they're still alive at games, such is their lack of enthusiasm and reluctance to join in with any singing.Some drive me mad and I'm in the south stand lower, they'd be better off watching it at home as they never look like they're enjoying being there.

Kudos to the tourists though if it generates more interest and fans it's a win win situation.
