PSG (A) 20:00 CL 26 November

[J.spurs]

In the interest of moving on from the debacle at the Emirates, I thought I'd start the match thread on the impending debacle at the Parc des Princes.

Obviously we have to be more proactive, and if Frank is going to go with 3 at the back, it has to be with a midfield 3 instead of what we put out yesterday. Their midfield is brilliant.

It's mental to say it, but he really needs a performance (maybe not necessarily a result) here or things can get toxic very fast. On the other hand, a result in this one--they were very poor at home in the CL in last season's group phase, and Bayern just beat them at home--and a lot of the noise gets turned down for a while.

It's going to be a strange game in a way because the vast majority of fans will be accepting it as a 'free hit' because nobody in their right mind would expect us to beat PSG at their place in the Champions League.

But you're absolutely spot on that we're going to need a performance, and a decent one at that, otherwise the noise around Frank being "another Nuno" is going to get even louder.

 

[Yid]

We're getting a fucking pumping...

 

[Style And Glory]

The toxicity levels on other fan sites are rising rapidly.

I don't really give a shit about them. All I want is for my club to start being who I thought they were when I started supporting them.

 

[J.spurs]

Not to look past this one but just looked at the fixtures and got a bit of a sick feeling when I saw our next game is Fulham at home. Just tailor made to fuck up.

 

[BrooklynYid]

Is Van de Ven our best option up top in this match? He actually might be. But yet, I still hove hope. WHY?

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

We have no chance.

 

[ClemFandango]

Vicario, Richarlison, Gray, Bergvall, Romero, Porro, Spence, Sarr, Bentancur, Van Der Ven, Kolo Muani

 

[USspur]

vibes?

 

[BrooklynYid]

Is that a back 5? Is Gray at the base of the midfield? Can't wrap my head around this lineup, but I like that it's somewhat aggressive. Still think we're gonna get something out of this match.

 

[USspur]

no idea what he is doing with that XI
4222? 532?

 

[ClemFandango]

I don't think i'd be surprised to see another 3-4-3 with Gray in a back 3 with Romero and VDV.

Porro and Spence the wingbacks with Sarr and Bentancur in the middle and Bergvall playing off Kolo Muani as a number 10.

 

[BrooklynYid]

Does concern me with Spence on the left. This might turn out to be a very defensive setup.

 

[J.spurs]

Good energy early on. Certainly not a formation we’ve seen so far this season

 

[Dave]

Decent start. Knockin it about well...

 

[ClemFandango]

Perhaps Frank will realise if you play an attacking lineup you actually look like a decent attacking team.

Good stuff so far.

 

[Style And Glory]

Just joined in at the 20 min mark. Is it one way traffic or are we doing well?

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

This is certainly better than the garbage we dished up a few days ago.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Just joined in at the 20 min mark. Is it one way traffic or are we doing well?

Going well. Holding our own, trying to get forward and creating space, especially on the left.

 

[BrooklynYid]

IT looks like both teams game kits were stolen before the match. Looks like a U15 match.

 

[Style And Glory]

Looks like were 4-4-2

 

[BrooklynYid]

What team is this? Gorgeous!

 

[Havocc]

Gray and Bergvhal are our future. Great goal

 

[ClemFandango]

Get in !!

Well deserved

 

[J.spurs]

Lovely goal. Gray’s service took three defenders out of the play.

 

[Dave]

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Well well well…

 

[Style And Glory]

I was just about to say that both Richy & RKM were behind the PSG defenders instead of stepping in front for the cross...

 

[ClemFandango]

Why didn’t this team turn up on Sunday ?
