Paris Saint-Germain (A) - CL SF | Pre-Match Thread

[Tricky_Trev]

I don’t want us to change the way we play in terms of our shape or our pressing or anything but we go into the 1st leg lower on energy than PSG and so I would love it if we showed the same nous that all the seasoned European teams display and deliberately slowed the game down with a bit of play acting here and there, dithering over free kicks and throw ins, goal kicks taking ages etc.

Frustrate them, make it a tight, scruffy affair, stay in the tie and get them back to our place and unleash hell on them after we’ve rested everyone significant for the palace game

That’s the wrong approach and would probably see us go out on away goals. We need to attack MORE away from home. Away it’s all about scoring. At home it’s all about a clean sheet.

You’re quite right, I just mean that maybe if we’re not quite playing with our usual fizz and they’ve got the upper hand then I think it makes a lot of sense to spoil the game as much as we can.

I just hope Pep puts out a side similar to that of that vs Dortmund and we play our game, no changing it to a back 3 to try and protect, just go out, have a hit and get a goal (or two)

I’d swap Jesus for Sterling. Pep will play Rodri, so one will dropout.

------------ Ederson ------------
Cancelo Stones Dias Zinchenko
---Bernardo Rodri Gundogan---
Mahrez ------- KDB ------ Foden

I'd play Walker if Mbappe is fit enough to start.

I have a feeling we’ll really turn up in Paris.

Hope so, would be a bit awkward if we turned up in Munich.

Any score draw would be a great result. Don’t watch PSG often so not sure about their defense but stopping their front line from scoring looks an impossIble task. We better hope Kev, Phil and Gundo have their scoring boots on. Just got to stay in the tie and not lose by more than 1 with at least 1 away goal and we have a chance. Of course if our defense is as solid as it can be maybe we can sneak more than that but think both legs will be high scoring.

I'll just wait for Pep to announce the team - no point in trying to second guess him.
