PSG away Wednesday 5th March 8pm

No way this is happening in a CL knockout game, after the squad has had a week off

PSG will be tough - they've got a lot more energy in midfield and up front now, and some real quality too. So we will need our first team for this one

Will be happy to come away from Paris with a draw, then I think we will do them at Anfield

100% anything other than full strength is just madness but we won't. A full weeks rest, way ahead in the league, we will absolutely go with our strongest line up vs very tough opposition

Absolutely.

And that huge squad becomes an issue in itself.

Oh exactly. Keeping £50 - £100m players motivated when they’re on the bench constantly sure would take some juggling.

And as we're all thinking it, Pep only managed it because when the players talked about leaving they simply added an extra 100k per week on their already illegally high salaries.

Not sure he did manage it thougg for that long. Most of the best players who were on the bench wanted to leave. Its only players like Grealish who hit the jackpot and waont get that anywhere else who stay

[BigChief]

Nah, peak Sane and Mahrez were always making noise about not enough game time. They were absolutely vital for Pep and so it proved. They only stayed because of the moolah.

This tie isn't the foregone conclusion that some may think it is.

They no longer have big name players on a par with Neymar and Mbappe but they appear to be a much more cohesive unit.

I still think we'll have too much for them over the two legs

[red g]

Iys going to be a tough 2 legs. Agreed they are a lot better team nowadays.

I think it's a very even tie, before the draw I thought they were a dark horse for the CL, and probably still are. They have very good players in every position and are playing well under Enrique. Feel they are much improved.

[Buzzo]

Tough but winnable tie.

[Cerbie]

Tough but winnable tie.

Give them respect by playing a full-strength team and I think we'll have enough to win both legs.

[memzey]

I think we should play the first leg like we did against City on Sunday. Second leg at anfield can be more on the front foot.

Pretty annoying we topped our group only to face PSG.

[danperkins]

Yeah bit irritating alright but they'll be devastated they got us, we'll be the best they faced this season. Very talented but also very young side. Imo we'll get a lot of chances against them but I can see Alisson being kept on his toes. They've beaten City put 4 past them, lost to Munich albeit with 10 men and then lost to Athleti but created a **** load of chances. Very dynamic side create a lot but will give chances. On paper a cracking tie to watch.

'Easier' matches have been our achilles heel this year, historically too.

Nobody would have picked PSG over Benfica, but there are some advantages.

I think statistically, only Celtic has a harder draw that us in the league stage and we made absolute mockery out of that, so hopefully we do the sane with another difficult draw.
