Big night later on as we try to take something away from Paris. Hopefully we can score a goal early and make PSG uncomfortable, would not be happy with a 0 against our name. My team would be Cech Ivanovic - Cahill - Terry - Azpilicueta Luiz - Ramires Willian - Oscar - Hazard Torres Playing Luiz/Ramires as a pair and Torres concern me, but without Matic and a decent striker it will have to be. Schurrle up top would be more efficient but I can't see Jose going that way. Willian is needed to help contain Lavezzi whilst Hazard should be running at Van Der Weil or Jallet, that is a weakness. The midfield battle should be interesting and whether Luiz, Ramires, Oscar can get the better of Motta, Verratti and Matuidi. Come On You Blues!!!!
Yeah i think we'll go with that team aswell, Oscar might get asked to man mark Motta when we don't have the ball, a bit like he did with Pirlo in the 2-2 game a while back. I too think we should go with Schurrle but can't see it. Torres has to be due a decent game, he does have them, they're just very rare!
I can see you guys setting up similar to how we set up against Bayern last night. Mourinho never tries to take on any top side punch for punch, so I'd be amazed if he goes for it particularly with Torres up front, as you don't have the fire power to match PSGs world class attack. I still can't see anything other than a PSG win though, I just can't see how your gonna stop Ibra and Cavani for 90 minutes. Sooner or later they are gonna create a chance and they will take it. So I'm going for a PSG win by atleast 2 clear goals
Everyone expected united to get hammered, that didn't happen, did it? Unlike united, we won't just sit back and invite pressure. We actually press our opponents and counter with pace.
Think Mourinho will play to not lose tonight, (Which is sensible.) And I think you will go through after your home leg. Saying that I hope a few of your players pick up injuries, (nothing serious) which affects your premier league form.... As a neutral I would actually like to see you go a couple down early on which would force you to play. I still think you could win the tie if this happenned, but think it would give a much more exciting affair.
We need to get at least 1 goal, and hopefully earn a draw! It'll feel good then , back at Fortress SB!
Schurrle does indeed start down the middle with the rest of the team the same as in the OP. Massive chance for him, hope he takes it.
It's not a 4-6-0 ffs, it's a 4-2-3-1 with Schurrle down the middle, a position in which he's played many times before.
CECH MUST GO!! that was 4 yards inside 6 yards box. One yard from where he is standing. why can't he come out and collect? Luiz is not at fault for conceding. it is not a foul, he can't do anything for the OG. Yes I don't vouch for Luiz always. But he is not at fault. It is all CECH!! I have no regrets in comparing Cech to Nando. Both No good in their key departments.
