I think you're mistaking Marvin's opinion as being the consensus on here.

I think he needs to get a new schtick.

Anyway fucking unbelievable performance last night. This team have got balls of steel and the defenders won't get the credit this deserve. If you look at the teams who have created almost nothing against us this season that's a testament to their work. Especially considering how high the defensive line is with play with.

Dias was my MOTM but I'd be tempted to give it Zin for that 20 minute cameo.

On a lighter note, how good was it to see a red card being given without any dramas?

If that's in the league, it's talked about for 1/2 minutes, the ref is then invited over to go and watch the same replay 7/8 times then gives a red anyway because he's being told what to look for.

None of that last night - 30 second chat, 'yeah it's a stonewall red, send him off'. Gone inside a minute of the foul being given.

I'm glad the ref took his time. Often times refs are too quick to throw a yellow out in that situation.

The positive thing about last night (other than the result obviously!) was that we worked out how to play them after what had been an excellent start by them.
By the end they were a quivering wreck. We totally schooled them second half.
We know how to hurt them in the second leg and they know that now.
They will be very very worried about how things went last night and what might happen to them n the next game.
Psychologically we have got them where we want them.
The 2-1 advantage is fantastic but not enough to make us complacent so I expect us to carry on from where we left second half.
Can’t wait.

Exellent post they know they will have to adjust there game yet still know even that might not be enough.

If that's him taking his time then I'd hate to see our refs take their time!

Fuck me. One of those "logs into Bluemoon - logs out of Bluemoon" moments.

What a weird thread and a weird bunch of posts.

I wouldn't so readily dismiss a 4-1 away win in the Nou Camp in a CL last 16 tie.

With players like Mbappe, Neymar and di Maria they can turn a tie on its head in 5 minutes. There's justifiable confidence and there is bravado.

I think every blue has the right to have justifiable confidence after last night's performance. Irrespective of the 2nd leg, the lads did everything we could have asked - and it's a win that we're entitled to celebrate. It's easy to play the pundits role of looking for negativity where it doesn't really exist, but I'm sure it must be a very miserable way of supporting your team.

Still absolutely buzzing about last night. That second half performance was truly outstanding.

Best performance you've seen from a Pep side at City?

It's certainly right up there. Phononemial.

think they’ll be good in the first half next week too - we need to tire them out by keeping the ball & making them do all the running.

Neymar should be a doubt judging by his frequent theatrical injuries last night :)

They might be good but I don't think they'll be quite as good as they were in the 1st half last night. It's difficult to see how they could catch us out again tactically in that way.

Gueye will be a big miss. His defensive work played a big role in PSG's early pressure.
