Nah I can't see PSG not winning this tie. I'd love to be wrong here tho.

no, that's not the point. The point is where the bar is with Mudryk on the wing. The point is that given our lack of options on the left (LB and WL) how on earth wasn't Poch able to use Maatsen? Chilwell hasn't even been fit long enough to play adequately. Regarding Sancho, I'm the one who used him as an example to warn folks about projecting performances from different leagues and countries when these players move to the PL. He was terrible at United. On the other hand, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he does better in a second spell in the PL.

Yeah I would. It was a stupid loan at the time we made given our options on the left and even more so with that release clause. maatsen playing CL finals can’t look good on Poch eh. (on phone autocorrect having a field day)

Yeah but the bar has been set with mudryk this season… and it’s a very low one. im not sure maadsen is employable as a LB in the PL. maybe in a huge possession oriented system. PSG players just run past him with ease.

Maadsen would be a huge upgrade over mudryk on the left wing tho. in D he’s still a big liability.

And that was a special first touch and finish. Great goal!

PSG are better everywhere. Dortmund will need something special today. sancho looks like a different player — maadsen not so much. It’s the PL effect…

all of the above. 😅 Nathan, yes that one, was also sitting on Gremio's bench--rarely plays because he's pretty bad even for Camp Brasileiro standards.

They are reporting in Brazil that Viery Fernandes Santos Lopes (Viery) is a Chelsea target. He's a 19yo CB who hasn't yet played with the senior Gremio team. Never seen play, but people say he's very promising. Just as curiosities, Gremio left back is Fabio former Man United and the striker is Diego Costa. 🙂

Indeed 👍 on phone…

Smart tweak by the manager. still think he could have tried something replacing mudryk, but won’t be too hard on him considering the lack of options today.

Caicedo was good but I still need more from him when he goes past the midfield line. madueke had a strong second half, that’s a contender too. gallagher also had a good game. Mudryk was shocking if one can still be shocked by his performances.

Think pushes right into the back like that are usually called tho. it is certainly different now than it was decade or 2 ago. Lots more fouls are called in 50/50 disputes.

I think the push was just too obvious to not get called. It was also in the back of the player and at the exact moment just before the bounce, which is when the football is to be disputed. looked like a foul to me.

They’ve become a punching bag of late, so totally doable. which brings the point WTF did these owners saw in Brighton which was worth going all out for?!

His body movement looked right to square dunno what happened. Maybe he was too close to the football and/or mishit it.

That Cole play deserved to go into the back of the net. 😕

Entertaining match Tbf not great football but entertaining nonetheless.

Come again? 😂

Disasi with the winner !!!

But Cole has been palmer today. Sorry 😆 almost did it actually should have scored another fantastic goal just now!

Yeah maybe but Mudryk had pretty terrible duel ratio today so wouldn’t be a big downgrade.

Players names should be taken into account when signing players heheh.

They just missed a clear cut chance from inside the box.

Bad first half better second does not a great game make.
