There are people on this forum that never learn. The amount of times I've read 'Oh I was wrong about him' after they've slagged a player off for months is ridiculous. It's not even the first time it's happened with Mahrez.

Now they've moved on to the next set of players. Sterling, Jesus, and Torres. I might have a sweepstake as to who it'll be next season.

And the thing is that all those players will come again. Sterling is just knackered (like Bernardo last season); Jesus has lost confidence, and Torres is still learning. They will all step up again next season...while someone else goes off the ball. That's the way football works.

I’m beginning to warm to FFS

Was able to see the replay of PSG's goal just now.

You can CLEARLY see that Dias is undercut by the far shorter Paredes (this matters) to remove him from the play and Gundo shades left due to the overload, but instead gets screened by the overload on the right:

Before the corner Paredes has his arms up acting like Dias is grabbing him (probably to distract).
Once the corner is taken Paredes squats and leans his back side into Dias' legs.
Because Paredes is so short it easily undercuts Dias from the play.
There is an overload of attackers on the right side of goal
Gundo, who is more centre and away from the overload, decides to shade Marquinhos left, perhaps because there are few players and worries he can get a clear path there.
Problem is there's a lot of players on the right that can also screen Gundo.
Gundo, who is giving some space defending Marqinhos, perhaps because of his lack of pace, is now also facing the wrong way when...
Marqinhos goes to the right/near post, not the left, and is then Gundo screened out of the play.
By the time Dias gets away from Paredes' antics Marqinhos has built up speed and on his way.

Watch (this is probably only for U.S. viewers):

So Micah, who I love, not so sure he's right there. Carragher agreed with him, but this looks like a set play to take out Dias and isolate Marqinhos with Gundogan.
