PSG away Wednesday 5th March 8pm

[Kenneth]

That was tiring to watch. Struggling to remember when we've been second best to that extent in a half of football. They are all over the back four in the gap between our defense and midfield, we need to plug that for starters.

[kingfunk]

Jesus that was a mauling, has to change something now, not necessarily personal but this set up is not working at all.

[fabinho]

on the plus side, we can't be worse in the second half, can we?

[Doc_Piptorious]

We have them right where we want them.


I almost feel sorry for PSG.

[Rich]

Maybe add another midfield body with Jones and just look for a fast Nunez counter and hope for the best!

[kingfunk]

Terrible defending from Trent, had the opportunity to clear, then ends up getting done.

Standard.

[BootRoom]

The plan seems to be play for a 0-0 then finish them off at Anfield, which, on the first half showing, is a tad optimistic.

[Irishnev]

We are riding our luck but still in it, if we can stay within one going to Anfield then we’ll have a strong chance. We are riding high in the PL but we still have clear areas of improvement in the team and they are all on show tonight. Robbo, Diaz, Grav (good season but not a top level DM) and Trent showing up as well. Our midfield can’t keep the ball

Ali and VVD stepping up

[BobTheCharmer]

It's pretty much how I expected it to play out.

Salah doesn't have the pace to make the moves stick. He has to play as he's the only consistent finisher we have.

Great season, hopefully we will win the league. But there's no way this seasons team is near the level of the klopp team that got to two CL finals. That team had e eryone playing at the top of their level and more fluidity and pace.

[danperkins]

And despite how good they have been, they are still level with us.

Second half they run out of puff and we beat them. Get down to the bookies now and slap a wedge on a Doc P guarantee*





* Somehow worth even less that the infamous Jaco P guarantees of yesteryear

It ll be interesting to see if they can keep the intensity and pressing up. They have thoroughly out worked us. They are just so pacey everywhere, we have looked like snails in comparison but obviously our tactics are to sit.

[labourRed]

Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if they won the ****ing thing altogether.

Still in it though. Doubt our full backs can hold off their wingers across two ties though unless they lose their heads or a player gets sent off.

Some reward for winning the "league"

[Doc_Piptorious]

Slot right now.

[Rich]

Alisson has been great first half.

[Buzzo]

Virgil had more than a few dodgy moments first half as well.

Tricky away European tie with their crowd well up for it. Going to have to dig deep for this one. We need to look after the ball better we keep allowing them to break on us and they have some dangerous players and express pace on both wings.

Think Slot need to tweak it.

[Buzzo]

Alisson has been great first half.
