PSG post match thread

I said borderline awful. Not quite awful, but worse than bad. Kept them fairly quiet and had chances is a political spin on a game where we could have been 2 down after 15 minutes had Ibrahimovic had have been awake - possibly could have even been a man down if the ref saw the Mangala - Matuidi challenge differently. On top of that, we spent large portions of the game hanging on only for them to run out of steam around the 75th minute. We finished quite well, but i still think our quality was very poor all night.

Clichy, Silva, Aguero, Navas, Otamendi were awful. Sagna gave a penalty away, Mangala probably could have been sent off, Fernando made one of the worst kind of errors you will see. Fernandinho and Hart were both poor for their second. Quality wise, we were terrible, nowhere near as good as we can be.

Have you heard of tactics? PSG had nothing left after 60 minutes and we started looking very dangerous well before the goal. I suspect we could have won it if we went for it in the final 15 but it's not worth the risk of conceding a goal in a two leg game.

Pel played a blinder
 
away leg job done well done Blues

leg is far far from being a gimme though

I expect a similar game at our place and as they still have goals in them and we can't defend for toffee we will need to assume that we will need goals again on Tues and set up accordingly imo
 
No it's just you have a more negative judgement. We're away from home, they had a lot more possession as expected.
But we refrained from diving in, tried to stay tight and limit their opportunities. Which i think we did quite well, overall.
So for all their dominance they didn't create a host of chances. FFS everyone has moaned for ages that we've been too naiive
in this competition and when we show a bit more maturity, it's still not fucking good enough. Just be happy with result.
Already said i was chuffed with the result. My initial post wasn't negative anyway. I was happy that imo we were terrible yet got a great result. Quality wise, considering we looked all over the place at the back, and couldn't string two passes together going forward (aside from the final 15 and the odd spell here and there), i stand by that.

I just don't see how we 'limited their chances'. They hit the bar, missed a penalty, scored twice and missed an absolute sitter. People happy clap performances like that and then kick off when we play exactly the same yet get stuffed on a day where the luck isn't quite on our side.
