CL 1/4 Finals PSG away Wednesday 8th April at 8pm

[Norbs]

BBC have us at 0.18 xG

How is that even possible? It was 0.00000000000000000

[Norbs]

Similarly, I had sex 0.18 times this week

[Exiled_red]

We did have a couple of shots eventually, but none were on target

Usually only takes me 0.18 seconds

[SB]

So Mo didn’t even come on as a sub? Interesting

[Rich]

When you need a bit of magic and playing a formation where he can play more centrally… of course you don’t give him any minutes.

Yeah, last season they played us off the park at Anfield too.

This team are utterly broken.

If Slot had any self respect he would quit

They didn't play us off the park at anfield..

In extra time they destroyed us, I think they had 8 or 9 shots on target and we had 2. We have to somehow find 3 goals without reply vs the best counter attack side ever imo. No chance.

Think that is something that often gets lost in the mix with regards to PSG simply because they are so good at pressing and forcing the play.

Not sure they are the best ever at counter attacking but they are bloody excellent at it.

Is like Luis Enrique has managed to take a number of things that other managers perfected for their own teams and then put all those qualities into a single team.

They do stuff that Guardiola's Barca did in possession, they do stuff that Klopp's Liverpool did, they do stuff like Sacchi's Milan and so on.

Then on top of all that the workrate of the team is crazy high and there seems to be no overwhelming egos once the whistle goes.

Think what they might be at times is the most balanced team of the past decade or so and them in games against the best teams of the managers I named would be humdingers.


Is why I hope we are looking at Inzaghi as I think he has a similar attitude towards turning teams/squads into fluid masters of many styles of play and might well be a close to Enrique level manager in the making.

Think, like Klopp, Inzaghi needs a move to a massive club to take his great work shown at the tier below up to the level it can get to at a club with the budget to match the talent he has.

Yeah we actually played well in that game. Not sure we can expect the same this year.

[frank the tank]

I don't even feel angry watching us anymore tbh

Broken

I think the root cause of a lot of this ****show is the midfield doesn't function. From both a defensive and offensive perspective, our midfield is terrible. Both MacAllister and Gravenberch are pitiful compared to last season and there is **** all behind them. For all of Jones strutting around like he is ****in Zidane, he has done **** all to convince anyone that he deserves to be a regular first teamer.

Endo and Bajcetic have done zero either - mainly due to injury - but it is very unlikely that Slot would have used them anyway.

And then we have used Szoboslai as a right back ffs!!!

The whole thing is a **** show.

Enrique is a genuinely world class manager and seems a good guy too. They are so balanced everywhere, workmanlike and full of pace and quality. Worryingly enough they are so young and many of their stars haven't even peaked yet.. they finally got it right. They are the team to beat.

[pass and move]

I know this cliche gets used an awful lot but for me Slot has lost the dressing room, they look like a very unhappy bunch out there. After nearly a full season I don't think any of our new signings have made any difference whatsoever. We may as well not signed anyone. Remember Ged's season when we bought a load of substandard African players to get to the next level. Yep we regressed. On Klopp's tenure the puzzle was put together over a few seasons and not overnight.

I didn’t watch the game live last night but caught the highlights later on MOTD. I thought they played a lot like we used to play with the Sadio, Bobby and Mo front three with the little rat behind them. I don’t know if that interplay was pre-planned set plays or just Bobby’s genius knitting everything together but it was so wonderful to watch and last night so gut-wrenching as that used to be us.
