PSG pre-match thread.

[Tbilisi]

this is manuel's season in this game, expect us to be tight in the middle and try to keep the tie in the balance for the home leg

Agree,would keep Yaya on the bench for WBA

 

[Marvin]

Think Yaya will be fit but don't expect Hart just yet. I think we'll line up:

Caballero, Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala, Clichy, Fernando, Fernandinho, Toure, Silva, De Bruyne, Aguero

With their injuries I think they'll line up:

Trapp, Van der Wiel/Marquinhos, Silva, Luiz, Maxwell, Matuidi, Motta, Rabiot, Lucas, Cavani, Ibrahimovic

I see 2-2 in Paris. Would be a great result for us.

An African journalist says Toure is out. Not sure if that is reliable but I hope he doesn't play. We are better without him particularly now that De Bruyne is back.

I hope he's fit and can play against WBA when we'll need fresh legs

Voting is probably a fair reflection of Bluemooner,s

Win 20%_______Positive.Dreamer,s and ever hopeful type

Draw 39%______Don,t think we can win, but can,t bring themselves to say we,ll lose.

Lose 40%_____ Realist,s.Doom and gloomer,s. MP doesn,t know his arse from his elbow.

1%__________only do hindsight.

Sat at home counting down the hours until leaving tomorrow. Cant wait

Without sounding like an Arsenal fan, top 4 is the biggest priotity now so I see this as a free shot at PSG. We usually play better when the pressure is off anyway so i'm quietly confident.

Caballero
Sagna Otamendi Mangala Clichy
Fernando Fernandinho
Navas Silva De Bruyne/Nasri
Aguero

Nasri not in squad

 

[Father Paul]

Let them worry about us.

Aguero, Silva & De Bruyne.

I think there will be goals.

I think we will score but so will they. The task is to keep the tie alive tbh.

 

[kupest]

Just need to nick a goal. An away goal would more or less keep the tie open in the second leg. I just hope we take all our chances and don't fuck about with near misses.

 

[Alex B]

Willy
Zaba, Mangala, Otamendi, Kolorov
Yaya- Fernando
Fernandinhio-De Bruyne- Silva
Aguero


Dinhio to start on the right again for me, stay compact and hit hard on the break through KDB Silva and Aguero.

We can win with that side. They will fear & respect us as much as we them. 50/50 game.

The pressure is way more on them than us for this match. You can pretty much lose the tie in the first leg at home (as happened for Kiev) but other than a hammering, we'll have a chance still at home in the second leg. So they'll be caught between going for it and being wary of conceding and being out of the tie. For this reason I think we'll win, 1-2.

That would be a phenomenal result. I like the optimism.
