PSG (A) - Wed 22 Jan, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[Ric]

Son are we thinking that 4 pts from these last two games should be enough for a place in the knockout stages (assuming the top 8 has disappeared over the horizon at this stage)?

I think three will be enough personally. And don’t call me son ;)

Okay boss; that okay?

:-O

Should have been a semi colon, but I didn’t press on the 'n' long enough.

 

[HorlocksWalk]

I hope so. I know i give Lewis alot of stick but i just dont think he should be in v. PSG unless somehow we're 3 up with 3 to play.

Nunes is raw at the position but he knows if he keeps at it - he'll play.

3 nil up with 3 to play, I am still on the commode

 

[shemnel]

Has Alleyne turned out for the first team in any competition yet?

I think Akanji, Dias, Stones and Alleyne are the only 'fit' centre halves travelling. (And Gvardiol)

 

[Damanino]

12 points enough even for 20-21st position.

this predetermined draw for playoff still can bring brutal strange ties.
we easily can end up against Real Madrid just as vs Sporting to qualify for last 16.

11 points can be enough too unless some teams currently behind us will close the league stage with unlikely great results but its risky.

tonight it would be great for us if Stuttgart and PSV cannot win their games and stay behind us even if we draw to PSG.
Brugge-Juventus, Brugge wins that then they are 100% sure through and may come to Etihad with not caring much which helps us as it can be a MUST WIN for us. but dont think they can beat Juventus.

really want to see what recent good form worth vs a significantly better side than Ipswich, West Ham and Salford. Brentford match wasnt great at all and we again fucked up the game in 2nd half. PSG can put us under bigger pressure if we get the lead.

Is there a Pep press conference this evening? Be good to hear why Doku is absent.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Any blues flying out tomorrow from Manchester.

Hope to see loads of blues shirts

So do you think we win ?

Draw against PSG??

One word answer please!!!

:0) LOL

How many CB’s would you like to play tomorrow???

2?
3?
4?

Or 1 upfront??? :0)

LOL

 

[PitchInvader BHA away1983]

I think if it was do or die tomorrow night, then we’d see Stones at right-back, pushing into midfield, but we can probably afford not to win in Paris and still get into the play-offs by beating Brugge next week.

Ederson
Nunes
Dias
Akanji
Gvardiol
Kovacic
Bernardo
De Bruyne
Foden
Savinho
Haaland

Sunday was a welcome return to form, but this is a far bigger test and will give us a better idea if we’ve truly turned a corner, or if the problems that have blighted us this season still remain. Bit concerned that we’ll get overrun in midfield, but at least we’re going there with a bit more confidence after the last few games.

The voice of reason!!!

Like an Oasis in the Desert???

I will Roll with that!!! ;0)

 

[PitchInvader BHA away1983]

At least we still have Savinho who is fine from at present, but Doku really impressed on Sunday. As you say let's hope it's nothing serious.

Sad for Doku :0)

Very GLAD that it is Savinho!!! :0)

Go on Savinho!!! :0)

 

[PitchInvader BHA away1983]

I like Rico, but he was playing too much imo & needed a rest.
Unfortunately for him, Nunes has come in and looked decent.
I hope he's not the long term solution at RB, but i think he's done enough to warrant a run in the side.

1 more CL game at least!! :0(

Are we wearing the Noel kit tomorrow?

Let’s hope not!!!

My preferred European kit is Black and Red stripes!! :0)

 

[TinFoilHat]

Let’s hope not!!!

Me too

We could wear our home kit tomorrow but the Noel kit was flogged as the CL kit. The women wore it in Paris making me suspect we'll do the same.

Mine too

At the 1970 ECWC final in Vienna, I wore a 3 piece black suit with a red shirt, black tie and a red hankie in the jacket top pocket, to match the kit we wore haha

I was 16 at the time and what a cool dude eh!

My first ever trip abroad

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

What’s going on with Pep’s eye?

Definitely something going on with his right eye - almost looks like a squint.
