PSG (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

[Gesario]

We all know the main issue. Half the squad has hit the wall.

Some are young enough (or good enough) to fight back, but others are too old (or just not good enough in the first place).

For Ederson, Nunes, Bernardo, De Bruyne, Walker, Gundogan and Kovacic, it's well and truly over.

For Lewis, Ake, Gvardiol, Akanji, and Grealish, they've got the summer and next season to fight back. Otherwise, they're for the chopping block too.

Ortega, Dias, Rodri, Foden, Savinho, Doku, Bobb, and Haaland are the only players I'd definitely keep right now. Plus the three new lads. That's literally it.

A massive rebuild is needed. On top of Marmoush, Khusanov, and Reis, TWO new midfielders need to arrive THIS WEEK or we can kiss goodbye to European football next season. We're at risk of finishing in the bottom half with this squad tbh.

Nothing much wrong there

I don't think we need a midfielder.


Only messing. We need a midfielder.

No you're right we don't need a midfielder....we need 2.

 

[Blue and still suffering]

I don't think we need a midfielder.


Only messing. We need a midfielder.

We need more than one!

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Watch us scrape through to the final (:

No chance this season.

 

[BurnCK]

Which player should be near the team based on that display?

Not many

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Ederson, Akanji, Stones, Rico,, Gundogan, Bernardo, Nunes , Grealish , Kovacic....Add to that KDB

There is 10 to go in summer.

 

[Ben123]

They are much improved from the team we regularly skitteled, and we are much worse

They’re horrendously average. We’re not much better but we’re good enough to beat them

 

[Twisted-wheel]

Naive of you to assume Rodri returns at the same level.

Good point

 

[bluemoonste]

"In this moment"....Jack been listening to Peps interviews ?

 

[phargrave]

I’m not gonna pretend we’re good. Any “decent” side beats us. My opinion is that Brugge aren’t decent

But will probably beat us anyway……

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Well I hope that's the end of that piss take of a shirt...

And are we to understand that you actually lay your head on that?

 

[bluestevei]

We really fucked up in the summer, sold players and then got 2 in, so in a squad of 20 we have 3 goalies 3 -4 kids and have 7 over 30
Legs have gone on atleast 5 players, but what can you say about foden, he let 1 player just go past him and then another player went past him and he couldn't keep up and stopped, Lewis is weak as fuck and nunes is a fucking fussy not tackling, might be a God send to go out hope these players bring some energy because rest of them haven't got any

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Assuming we manage to beat Bruge and get through the play off how many changes to squad are allowed?

None. Can only make changes AFTER the playoffs.

None

it's only in the Knockouts you can add new players to the squad

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

To give credit to PSG , their press was amazing and they kept it up for the whole 90. Reminded me of us against Real Madrid in the semi

We would have struggled against that in our best moments so had little chance today with our fragile midfield and defence

let’s get behind the boys next week and blow Brugge away , by the playoffs we may have another midfielder and Mahmoush and Haaland running at defences on the break , which we had loads of chances today but kept fluffing the pass

 

[oakiecokie]

We look so unfit it's frightening, absolutely swarmed all over by PSG who looked absolutely full of energy

With a lot its not being unfit ... its fucking old age.

 

[creditunionhero]

Players are passing but not passing and moving. Many times the opposition are making quick passing tri angles. Our midfield is static by comparison,

 

[Ben123]

But will probably beat us anyway……

They might do it’s a sport anything can happen! An even playing field I’d be shocked if we didn’t beat them. I’d also be shocked if we beat any decent team tbf

 

[Blue Bogey]

And no way on gods earth is he a right back

Yeah Nunes is not good there. He does a couple of good things but also does a lot of bad things. Looks so uncomfortable and awkward at RB.

 

[xmusampa]

Yes, once Dias was off the pitch we had no leader. That’s for certain. That needs to be addressed immediately and should have been done earlier.

Yet when we were winning everything we had a team full of leaders
