Cant believe that some here thought we have a chance here. Wonder what kind of hell is waiting in paris for us. You cant compete at this high level with this kind of defending. But its not just that. We have no attack as well except messi.

Let's not go that route here... The easy route.
It's not defending.. It's defending + midfield + attack.. The 3 departments are equally terrible.. And if u ask me the defense is the least of our problems tonight. Midfield was trashed by psg and their technique.

Koeman is playing way too conservative football in the big games. Stays back and invites pressure. Move the lines up and keep a shorter team. And not short 15m away from Stegen, because that's parking the bus :lol:.

We have slim chances anyway, so at least try to play the right way, and without looking like a Mourinho clone.

Yes, it does look like we are trying more conservative tactic and it's not working. We are looking ****. I think we need to add pressure to PSG. It's a risk, but we are not winning this parking the bus, especially when Neymar joins the second game.

Like i predicted, a lot of shots from distance so they can achieve corners. Pedri is lost, de jong is playing against granada still, busi slowest but experience is talking.
Lenglet utter shit, pique is rusty as it gets, griez is not suarez, dembele is lost lile in liverpool game with that lame shot.

Messi-terrible so far

They are targetting Dembele not tracking back but the midfield are sitting off them and Messi wont close often in that area so have all time in world to pick out those passes.

It's a risk any way you dice or slice it. Sitting back with that defense is asking for trouble.

Men vs boys tonight.. Psg is 3 miles ahead of us as a team

The problem i have is a lot of these CL teams look faster and stronger than us. It's like when you play vs Manchester City or Real Madrid 17/18 in the FIFA video games. No matter what you do, they will always run faster and win more 50/50 challenges than you. However, this is real life and I wonder what our players do in trainings to look much less physical and much less faster than them.

I'm pissed at Stegen probably the most.

He just looks nowhere near what he should be. Keeps making the same mistakes.
