No matter who they play at RB Hazard has to be commanding and direct. Just take it to them and don't be ponderous, if he is the best player on the pitch we win easy. If he struggles to impose himself on the game we lose comfortably... Its that simple.

Hi pals. Some informations about Paris-Saint-Germain team.

Here's the likely starting eleven:

___________Sirigu______________

Jallet_____Alex__Silva______Maxwell

___________Motta

_______Verratti__Matuidi

Cavani___________________Lavezzi

_________Ibrahimovic

PSG strenghts

- Ibrahimovic. In a good form, he's pratically unstoppable.

- PSG likes to have possession of the ball and does it well.

- The three on midfield. Motta and Verratti form a very effective partnership, a technically gifted duo. Not the quickest one (i'll talk about this later), but it's hard to take the ball away from them, especially Verratti who is a wonderkid (a arrogant jerk too). Matuidi isn't the most confident player with the ball, he lacks skill sometimes, but he's a wonderful teamworker, always running and pressing, in a similar way than Ramires except with a brain (but Ramires is more offensive).

- The centre-back pairing. Silva is a great defender, with composure, anticipation, speed, serenity. Alex is a good player, not a great one, but he's solid in the air and he's a perfect team mate for Silva. Both are complementary to each other.

- Cavani is a good support for Ibra. Zlatan likes to play like a playmaker so Cavani can act like a false winger, he's often front of the goal and he scores a lot.

PSG weaknesses

- The right back Van Der Wiel isn't a bad one but his substitute, Jallet, can be terrible, really. A very average footballer and a harsh defender, he's a great worker but he's too weak for this level of competition. Hazard will shine and destroy PSG right side, i put my bet on it.

- PSG style of play is predictable. PSG likes to control the ball, but the team lacks of variety, the team isn't very dangerous on the wings. PSG wingers aren't real wingers, Cavani is a 9 and Lavezzi is a second striker. Maxwell is a good technician and a smart player, but he can't pass an opponent with his speed, most of the time he's waiting for Ibrahimovic support. So, the team is very dependant on Ibrahimovic and the midfield.

- Lavezzi is a great worker. Always running, calling for the ball, pressing, but he's not a great footballer. He lacks so much talent and finishing ability to be a real menace in my opinion. He's on a better form actually, but i think Lucas is more able to make the decision.

- Motta and Verratti aren't very mobile. They can easily be exceeded by fast counter-attacks.

- Sirigu is a good keeper, not a great one.

- PSG midfielders lack of self control (especially Verratti).

Thank you for your honesty. Now I have a question for you.... How good are your wide men at tracking back and being compact? Also how high a line does PSG normally play?

Thank you for your honesty. Now I have a question for you.... How good are your wide men at tracking back and being compact? Also how high a line does PSG normally play?

Just to give you an idea, "recovering-ball line" in league matches is usually around 50-55 metres, while the opponent's is aroud 30 metres. I did not find fgures for CL matches but it is probably a little less. So they play quite high on the field and at the same time, they're quite compact, as Ibrahimovic plays often as a #10, close to Verrati and Matuidi.

Quid pro quo, they are sometimes in troubles with opponent's counter attacks.

Regarding weaknesses, I would just add that the whole team, not only Lavezzi, can be quite inneficient by missing numerous goal opportunities (e.g. game against Nice last Friday)

As Kurupt said, the most serious issue for PSG will be the right side with Jallet being responsible for containing Hazard (according to the very latest news, VDW will probably miss the game). IMO, Marquinhos would be much better given his defending qualities ... The only good news is that Cavani defends a lot.

Hey fellows.

A little stat:

PSG 9 last games; 9 win, 27 goal scored, 0 conceded.

Anyway, what I find funny about this draw, is all the links we can do between these clubs; TS VS Luiz, Oscar VS Lucas, Maxwell, Ramires, Alex playing his former club, anyway many brazilians, Hazard, Ba and Eto'o are PSG fans, Mourinho knows and respects Blanc from ManU, Thiago Motta and Ibra from Inter ... Some kind of fratricidal war right :D

It may be the most interesting draw in this quarters. If Blues don't score in Paris, it will be difficult for them.

Why are you all saying that Hazard is / was a PSG fan? Can't find any quote from himself saying that. He was a Zidane and Madrid Fan but never saw anything concerning PSG.

And i don't think that it would be the only interesting draw, Barca / Atlético is also a fantastic draw

Seriously, why? The PSG fans that have joined the forum have been respectful and don't deserve posts like these, JFC...

What are you talking about?

Some PSG fans here have been everything except for respectful.. Go back a few pages and read the likes of DrKojo.

You're right, can't find any quote of him saying clearly "I am PSG fan", Mea Culpa. Yet, he really appreciates the club, often came at Parc des Princes, etc, anyway this isn't really relevant.

I never wrote it would be the only interesting draw. Actually it may be the shittiest game with Chelsea parking the bus, while ManU smash Bayern in the match of the decade, you never know :)

Yeboii, basically some trolls from jvc.fr were pulled by The only place to be - he's not very respectful too.

Edit @ Magiczlatan. You're right, i'm telling shit again, this isn't 9 last games (9 win still, record for the club), this is the 9 games before a CL game this season; 27 scored, 0 against. (For a while you made me feel stupid ;))

To Dwight Schrute: Don't forget that Chelsea Legend 11 said a lot of dirty words about your country.
Yesterday, I learned a lesson: never take things for granted. I forgot that billions of people are either poor or uneducated.

And all the money and education in the world can't buy class...

This is gonna be an important week of learning for you! You will get another lesson on Wednesday, son.
