The L'Equipe ratings always make me smile. 4/10 for Rodri!

Ha! Wow that's shocking. Why do people take L'Equipe seriously?! Mbappe 7 is hilarious. Can barely recall a single touch of his.

No, to be fair he had them organised and disciplined, which isn't a bad acheivment with a PSG side that normally don't need either.

He was doing stupid tricks after about 10 minutes and then didnt touch the ball for another 55 minutes.
 
That might be something to do with the quality of the opposition?
Absolutely but at the same time if we produced those two performances against the same two teams again on the balance of probability I reckon we could score 3 or 4 over the two games.

Even by our standards we were lacking in the finishing department.
 
I thought we looked in control for large parts of that game. Their first goal was a scrappy bit of defending but a quality top bin finish and Messi does what Messi does.....a quality move and finish. A fair few positives for us and a big shout out to Rodri, he's looked very good the past few games and seems fitter. Walker too played really well and the defence on the whole looked solid.

We just seemed to lack that final pass to open them up. They defended much better than last time. As someone else said, maybe the pace of a Sane-type going on the outside would have helped instead of cutting back inside all the time. Sterling to be fair made some intelligent runs and was unlucky with his header but his touch seems a bit off, no idea if Bernardo was offside or not, it didn't go in so that's that and I haven't looked at it again.

Ref was ......odd. A lot of soft decisions to PSG. Seemed out of his depth. KDB was lucky not to get a red though, even though he made a genuine attempt and got a touch on the ball. You've seen them sent off for similar tackles before and I feared the worst when I saw the reply. Verratti was immense for them, Messi still has a finish in him, but by and large Neymar was a spoilt little twat who did nothing and Mbappe was handled pretty well. If we met again in the knockout stages it wouldn't unduly phase me.

Would have obviously preferred a different result but not all negative for me and I expect us to have a real go against Liverpool. Onwards......
 
Was a good game to watch tbh. We played very well I thought, were just unable to get the goal. It does go to show how having a top finisher can change a game.

Was actually a bit shocked at how bad they were in the footballing sense, shows the fear teams have when they play us now that we have other big teams playing like burnley against us.Sloppy defending for the first goal, but it was a pretty good finish tbf to him and the second goal is just messi ennit.

Overall, not overly arsed about losing, don't think it really matters too much with the way the team seedings are this year. Fully expect us to win at least 3 of 4 group matches remaining.
 
I thought we played really well and dominated PSG. They changed to a very defensive game plan which left less space for us to counter them and their defence were outstanding. I can see alot of the big teams going this way this season and without a recognised striker we may struggle to win these games.

Although that miss from Bernie was just unbelievable - he puts that away and it would have been a different game.
Was offside anyway
