Match Thread | PSG vs Man City (28/04/21)

[Out on blue 6]

Doubtful there will be the changes people are asking for at half time. Not the Pep way I'm afraid however much everyone moans. 65-70 mins would be my bet unless they score again. There's a goal in this for us which would be priceless but can't concede again. Only a quarter of the way through the whole tie. Long way to go. Have some faith

Bayern had 32 shots with Choupo-Moting upfront who also scored twice vs them.. we've gone without an actual striker and given their dodgy CBs the night off

We are pressing high and it's not our strongest point but are growing into it. They have slightly more possession . But we are coming into it. Our fitness may be key. They looked as of they were tiring and I'm not surprised given that they dont have to chase a lot in the French league as the opposition is poorer than in the PL. We are still very much in this. Phil gets another one of those and he will bury it this time .

Surely the sheik is watching this & thinks why the Fook does my team not have the best strikers in it ? In fact why don’t I have any strikers ?

 

[SanPellegrini]

The false 9 system is crippling us and making us vulnerable to the counter. We can’t get the ball into the final third smoothly when we have possession, and we’re being forced into errors. Rodri very slow and error prone.

Pep’s whole style is about stretching the pitch wide. We’re not doing that. But more importantly, we’re not stretching it long.

Even a big target man up front would pin PSG back, and solve some of this (shame we don’t have Dzeko!). Need changes at half time.

Raz on, but no idea who I’d take off. Aguero on at 60 mins.

 

[ayia napa blues]

Zin for cancelo
Fern for rodders
Sterling for foden or silva

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.

We need pace , not a traffic cone

 

[deano ou812]

We weathered the storm after they scored and last ten mins we looked far better and regained our composure,it’s not all about going gung ho keep possession and build up then quicken it towards the final third,no way can they keep this pace up for 90 mins ..

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Positives: we've made chances, when the press works it's causing them trouble, they've looked dangerous but not really looked like scoring, they only scored from a setpiece, we are still very much in the game.

Negatives: the midfield is struggling, the passing is too slow, we've missed a couple of big chances, we are playing their game and not dominating, we look a bit lost when we reach their block, and we haven't got in behind once.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

No control whatsoever. We want to attack, but are struggling, and still look ropey as fuck when they attack.
