I thought that we were excellent second half everywhere bar their box. We need to be more of a goal threat tonight, can’t rely on lucky breaks or worldlies. Foden needs to take his chances tonight. I really hope we don’t regret killing off the tie last Wednesday when they were down to 10.
Hopefully we avoid the first half performance where we were cagey and nervous. The full backs sitting deep didn’t provide much security instead it gave them space to play and we ha very little going forward. Hope Pep sets us up better from the outset.
They are a dangerous side to go behind against with an aggressive midfield 3 and an excellent front 3. I fully expect Mbappe to play. Neymar no doubt will be in full Tom Daley mode but Di Maria was their best player first half last week. If we nullify him it will go a long way towards victory. We also need to defend set pieces better as they were a threat from every corner and free kick.
An early goal for us would be very nice indeed and force them to try and play. Let’s hope we take whatever chances come our way.
