Looking at the table I’m not really concerned. A win vs Brugge guarantees us going through. We’ve played well here. If we had legs in midfield we’d be all over them
 
Savinho does the odd really good thing then spends the rest of the half giving the ball away, Phil doing the same on the other side. need better ball retention in midfield and we can win this.
 
This is literally how I would envision City 24/25 Vs City 22/23 going.

Their style of play reminds so much of how we pressed and attacked teams in the treble winning season
 
You have to wonder whether there is a fundamental difference in how they train now.
Keeping possession - whilst still threatening to explode at any moment - used to seem like second nature, now nobody seems to know where to move?
 
Shite last few minutes but I don't think we're, "lucky to not be behind". Think we've had the better chances, personally

This PSG team looks better (and less hateable) than the one we've played in recent years too
 
Man to man is killing us so far. We need to turn them around and pass into space beyond their defence. It’s all too tight and they’re winning it in key areas. We won’t get away with all of them, not worth the risk.

Grealish and McAtee for Foden and Bernardo in a bit. Can't do anything else can we except Gundogan for Kovacic but that's a recipe for disaster. Just an absolute shambles at the moment - midfielders badly needed but we're not linked with any.

Could take KDB off if he doesn't improve.

Don't think we've been as bad as some are saying on here. PSG are a good side, and it's a difficult place to go. We've had to ride our luck at times, but we're still hanging in there and have posed a bit of a threat on the counter. Big 45 coming up, would snap your hands off for a point.

Well seeing as TNT have got us playing against prime Brazil 70 I think we’re doing ok.
 
PSGs youth an pace will probably win them this game, but as an away performance in Europe I honestly don't think it's been that bad. It won't happen, but I'd bring Jack on for Bernardo and try and get a bit of control in midfield.

McAtee for Bernardo. Grealish should be nowhere near this team

Jack needs to be out there on the left - for Sav or Phil, both are losing the ball for fun.

We are mightily missing Jeremy. Honestly I despair, psg are quicker to the ball, they press and play as a team. I am stupidly hoping against hope that they are not used to playing with this intensity in their farmers league, but its forlorn and they are showing us up as a poor team
.what I would say though is they should have had two yellows but nothing done.

Unless there is a massive shift in effort and mentality from the team second half I sadly see this going only one way....

And to cap it all bloody RealMardarses are leading.
