    Disappointing result, but a really really good performance for the majority of the game.
    We’re very unlucky not to have our name on that trophy tonight. At one point it was looking like it could have been embarrassing for PSG.
    Shame really, we deserved to win that.

    Porro should have taken one of the first 3. Good dead ball kicker. And surely Bergvall before Micky.

    Great 80 minutes. Just ran out of steam. Shows the lack of depth in the squad. Hopefully the massive positive is a couple more signings before the end of the window

    Methinks Frank has shown tonight that for
    4 or so CL group stage games he can
    navigate his way thru.

    Ineffective is an understatement too, every one of them was horse ****.

    Just ran out of steam in the final 15 for me. I just think the timing of our subs was a bit awry.

    Lots of encouragement to take though, that’s the best team on the planet and we more than held our own.

    Every single starter was superb, especially Sarr who was fantastic.

    Every single sub can walk home.

    The drop-off from Richarlison to Solanke was incredible.
    Clearly nowhere near match-fit and I hope he wasn't rushed back for that.

    Oh well...
    A lot better than expected - and the fact that we are all disappointed with the result rather than the performance says loads.

    Just need to see that level week in week out in the PL

    I may get shot down for this but I think Solanke is a very limited footballer. If Richarlison stays fit I think he is the better option

    Richarlison may be the better choice for UEFA games.

    Both should be rotational/back up options at best.

    Was hoping with a new manager that he would get upgrades on the likes of them and also the keeper.

    The subs lost us the game. I didn’t see Gray touch the ball once or make a tackle.

    We should put in a bid for Isak.
    Hear he is after CL football and is sick of playing at a tinpot club

    If Mickey put his hand up to take a kick and Bergvall didn't, then Mickey's taking one

    I was thinking the same.

    Weirdly probably the best possible outcome. A very respectable performance that at the same time shone light on our obvious weaknesses - which will be exposed relentlessly across four competitions.

    A win of any kind tonight and I could see Daniel inviting the moths back into the wallet.

    I'm sure there'll be a lot of talk over the next few days about the system and tactics.
    It'll be interesting to see how we line up against Burnley on Saturday.
    Will it still be a back five? Will we be more focused on possession?
