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

[5 Hit Gibbon]

It's going to be tough but we are more than capable of beating them. I don't think they are that good defensively and if we can be clinical then we can win. Bayern weren't really at full strengh but still had plenty of chances to beat them. Them hitting us on the break is what is going to be hard to stop, they look lethal at times.

Need to be ruthless which means a front 3 of Mahrez, KDB and Sterling.

Sterling, as improved as he was yesterday, still fluffed quite a few chances - just hangs on to the ball too long and fucks about with it.

Just need kdb in the back four and we're sorted.

mentality is a must here too, we cant start with the same stage fright we have had in the latter CL stages.

 

[SWP's back]

It shouldn't surprise you, it's like the number of days in a week shambles all over!

Oh ffs that’s still giving me nightmares.

Think we will draw this one , they might get stage fright but then again so might we

Too close to call

 

[Legal Alien]

I usually lean towards incompetence rather than corruption but those two legs were ridiculous. The Sane offside in the home leg still infuriates me to this day

We would have beaten Madrid in that final. Knowing Pep we might have gone out against Rome in the semis though haha

Yeah that offside in the 2nd leg plus his "offside" in the 1st leg and of course salah being 2 yards offside for the 1st goal...that tie was bent!

 

[kaz7]

Does Pep go with Zinny or Cancelo at LB? It's a tough call. Cancelo as we saw yesterday, CAN be very impactful going forward but can also put the team in bad situations with his decision making. While Alex may be limited going forward, he's more steady and less prone to error, I'd say. But personally the proposition of Zinny vs Di Maria scares me more than him vs Cancelo.

Hope zinchy is in , he is a much better balance and i think he is underated

 

[skillman]

Bernardo has to start - his energy is going to be vital.

Rodri's ball retention equally as important.

Mahrez's confidence and ability to take it straight at their left back will be needed too. Same with Foden on the other flank.

I'm shitting myself at the thought of Mbappe and Neymar too so Walker's pace is a must as well.

 

[Legal Alien]

I think Cancelo and Laporte played well yesterday and with PSG's pace i think Pep will stick with them. Plus i don't think Stones did himself any favours in the Villa game, we can't afford stupid mistakes at the back and we certainly need all 11 pllayers on the pitch.
