***PSG v City |Official Match Thread***

[s1ty m]

Cancelo has been so poor, a real stinker. Thankfully it's 1 goal. This away goal though, other than another defensive error by them we are not getting it.

Poor display, we seem overawed. Amazing really.

[branny]

Cancelo is gonna fuck up at some point. His positioning is shite and he’s giving the ball away in advanced areas.

[Sideshow Bob]

worst game from dias in a blue shirt. not the only one tbf.

[PrezIke]

Fortunately only down 1, but we cannot give away more AND need to score 1.

Not impossible, but something must change within the players or tactics Pep and his coaches see.

[Grandad Rosler]

Have Neymar and Mbappe been as good as BT are making out here? I don't know if I'm watching a different game or I have my blue blinkers on.

We've been our own worst enemy in my opinion losing possession cheaply, giving the ball away and missing gilt edge chances as opposed to being played off the park. But again, could be my blue blinkers

[Clowncrete]

Pep needs to make a sub immediately at half time rather than wait till the 80th like he usually does. Imo, We need to bring in Gabby immediately. Cancelo off as well for Zinch.

[CTID Hants]

Rodri and Cancelo poor. Fernandinho’s experience needed.

You'll be lucky to get 20 mins out of Fernandinho after playing on Sunday afternoon.

Zinchenko needs to come on before Neymar gets Cancelo sent off, he's been lucky thus far.

This is by far our toughest test this season without a doubt and that is solely down to the opposition.

Massive second half coming up

[salford city]

Cancelo HAS to come off. A red card waiting to happen.

That for me neymarwill conanother one.

Enjoyed that though. Stay in the tie, boys

[sheblue]

Come on lads up it for the 2nd half
We are better than this display.

[PeterParker]

I am trying to understand who the fuck is making up this stats when you hear Rodri ran his ass off versus Dortmund. More than any player in the quaters.

I swear he either runs in circles, or he is paying someone to get him those stats. He is 3-4 steps behind every counter and when he gets the ball he passes to the closest player around.

We are shit tonight, but I think the main problem is Kevin. Weird, but we are really far better than him. He looks like a fish out of water, constantly not knowing his place and losing the ball very often.

[Nigels Tackle]

5 subs?

[john@staustell]

Cancelo is struggling. Would Zinchenko do better?

Very risky tackle on Mbappe again. Got the ball with a decent tackle as it happened, but next time Mbappe or Neymar will be cleverer and leave a leg out to trip themselves over and give the referee a decision to make. Needs to be hooked at half time

Ake?

[Whassat]

This is the kind of game where having a real attacking center would have made Paris defending so much harder. They are too good for us to control the ball as much as we would like. We dont control the ball, and we are creating too little, and we are shit in the final third.

[branny]

We need to man up and start winning some 50/50s. I’m surprised a couple of their tackles haven’t been pulled up in the current climate. The one where Walker got injured was over the top of the ball and caught him quite high up and there was a two footed challenge just before they were screaming for a penalty. Neither punished.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Neymar might be good but he is as big a cheat as lady boy

[PrezIke]

So, if you're zonal marking you still man mark tighter?

Micah is saying this on Paramount Plus but is that true? I'm genuinely curious

Gundo is a terrible matchup to man mark Marqhinos on a corner.

I think you're right

[City64]

KDB and Gundo need to step up 2nd half neither been on it so far . PSG notably tired the last 10 mins we need to stay in this the last 20 minutes are going to be vital . Worried about Cancelo!

[blues2win]

Kevin isn’t working as a false nine. Zinchenko and Fernandinho should really come on straightaway for Rodri and Cancelo. Don’t suppose they will.

[sheblue]

Hopefully Cancelo has the brains not to make any more rash challenges.
Hopefully.
