They also didn’t have their best player in Dembele and Kvara wasn’t transferred there yet.

Dunno about this bit
But for my money it is based entirely on what they done to man city in the second half of that game and how much they pummeled Liverpool (without scoring) in the first leg.
Don’t like the designs and understand why they rejected.
That must be BS about Merino and White.
Yea bit shite to just rehash the madrid one

PSG are a pretty complete team, all 3 attackers can take defenders one on one off the dribble + whoever they leave on the bench out of Doue and Barcola, hopefully it’s Doue as I just think he’s special.
The midfield 3 are very technical, surprised how well they manage to win the ball back though as profile wise they seem small in stature but Enrique has got them humming.
Great attacking fullbacks, I think the CB’s aren’t prefect though and the GK for mine isn’t as good as most people think.

If Jorginho and Merino are unavailable, get Zinny in there. We will need to manage the ball in there.
I get the feeling we’re gonna see
Raya
Timber
Saliba
Kiwior
MLS
Rice
Merino
Ode
Saka
Tross
Nelli
Such a shame Thomas picked up the needless booking.

Still a very strong team. Get a good result and we’ll go to Paris with Partey back in the team to finish things off.

Real put up a much eye catching and stronger team on paper… and?
I think this will be a tougher tie, PSG are more of a team and have midfield control, Real Madrid have that elite game changing attacking 4 on paper but the midfield is disjointed
so I always felt we could trouble them.
That’s not to say we can’t go on to make the final, I think anything can kind of happen at this point, all the teams left have a chance at lifting the trophy come the end of May.

This on paper is far less frightening than Real. God, Villa put them under serious pressure. We should really fancy ourselves in this tie.
Mind you we have been utter crap against Villa too generally in recent years.

nothing is easy in CL quarter, semi or final.
It will be a different approach compare to Real.
Real has better individuals.
PSG is more like a team; but I am not going to say which one is easier which one is tougher.
I do know, if we can execute our plan, we have a good chance.
so I said, it is about the execution on the field.

True. If Villa can score four past them
Over two legs, we should fancy ourselves as our defence is infinitely better than theirs.

I like this PSG team but we simply have to beat them
They’re staring down an invincible league campaign right now and have vastly improved but in comparison this team has been put together for much longer and if we really are the team that some believe and claim then you can’t get knocked out by them just after emphatically defeating Real Madrid
If we don’t see them off then this team is just looking like a bunch of nearly men, there will be no excuses
There are opportunities that arise where the team just has to rise it period, you never know when it’ll come around again.

I do think we are going to need to win the Home leg and take a lead to Paris. I will be there and already getting nervous!

So, anyone successfully get a ballot result?
Nope got 1 failure and 1 pending but no card charge so means it’s a fail just waiting to land.
