ok so 1 down not to bad if it ends that way but we could do with a goal pref 2-1 than 1-0 if were going to get beat,,,still 45 to go at who knows we turned it round at Dortmund

I think aguero would help us. We need a center point of attacking. Their pass wise no one in the middle pass back is not going to cut it against this defense.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Not enough goal threat to worry them in that half.

Most of our play has been in front of them.

We need Jesus on it'll change the dynamic and give them something to worry about in behind.

Can also use him for balls in the channel and over the top.

An away goal is absolutely vital.

I would also take Cancelo off he's a red card waiting to happen.

Mahrez is our best player and the hardest working . Who would of funked that

 

[sh249]

Started well, but poor since the goal. Few heads gone a bit.
Need to regroup and refocus. Still plenty there for us if we do.
I’d get Cancelo off.

We look like rabbits in the headlights. It's a champions league semi final FFS. Teams aren't going to lie down. We should have expected this intensity. We look scared to death.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

showing them far too much respect and guilty of not being direct when the opportunity arose - instead choosing to go sideways, which is playing into PSG's plans

Not on pep's feet this - the players once more seem to be playing the occasion and not the game

I hope Pep bollocks them at half time because going forward we have offered zilch with no creative movement whatsoever

 

[super_city_si]

If we get away with 1-0 I know Pep will be happy but this is a nightmare to watch.
My nerves every time they move the ball forward.
We aren’t laying a glove on them, for fear of them diving I suspect but they have no problem tackling us.
We need an away goal. We need to be a little more courageous.
I’d take Cancelo off. He is going to cost us.

we need an away goal. no away goal and its a huge uphill task. you have to fancy them to score in the return leg too

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Neymar stays on the floor for 2 mins Ref plays 1 min added ?? Why’s he not telling him to exit the pitch or get the trainer on.......KW outstanding, Mahrez played well, Ruben brilliant, Kev looks fooked, occasion looks too big for a few others Rodri especially, and Joao is walking the proverbial, we’ve got to surrender a midfielder for a striker, the wide boys are having to beat 3 or 4 and we have no counter attack in us, Raz on for Gundy

I've said. Mbappe and Neymar are top3 in the world and the difference between being top 3 and top 10 is incredible. For elite level, you need a great GK(Navas) a solid CB (we have this) a great CM (we got this) and 2 top 5 forwards (which we don't have).

This is just too high of a level for the team. We are playing badly, sure, but PSG's got perfect team to win cup competitions. Every time Neymar or Di Maria have the ball, they easily dribble through 2 or 3 of our players, we only have Foden capable of doing that.
