MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Would rather lose this 2-1 than draw 0-0.Or worse lose 4-1 aka Dortmund Real style 2013. Sometime going in with a defensive plan backfires and once they score it kind of crumble from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapkun 668 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Lucas Moura. People forget about him, he's a monster. In my eyes their best and most dangeorus player. Veratti...... Matuidi.... Cabaye. It's hardly just Zlatan or even Cavani.Mourra is overrated. All he has is pace and dribbles, other than that he's an awful footballer. I remember he was criticized after our second leg with them. Zlatan is performing terribly at the moment and fails to convert most of his chances. Cavani is mainly a counter attack player, who is quite superb but lacks finishing and is quite low on confidence at the moment. Matuidi is a similar player to Ramires. Cabaye is not even a starter. Verratti is having his best season for PSG. Basically this season, all of PSG players are underperforming except Verratti, but they remain a good team who are capable of giving a tough time to any team in europe. Barca who was undefeated at the time and conceded 0 goals lost to them at the start of the season so I wouldn't write them off but I can't stop being confident about those games. Mourinho factor I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will set out for a draw, they WILL SCORE and the plan goes right out of the window. Maybe we can ride our luck and escape with a 1-1 if we got great luck like against Liverpool a few weeks ago.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Not well going by his St Etienne days, last season Zlatan scored a brace against them in a 2-0 win, whilst he was playing. (Not really comparable and I don't know if he was anything to do with the goals in all fairness) In the other game St Etienne drew 2-2.I think we should play him against them though as he probably knows them and what they can do better than any other player in the team. CechAzpi zouma JT luisMatic ramboWillian cesc hazardCostaCech for the obvious reasons. Zouma has now had aguero and lukaku in his pocket. Lets see how he does against zlatan. Defensively solid in the mid and hot them on the wings where they are weakest. Also trust in LUIZ. An away goal is the minimum he ll do for ushttp://youtu.be/fRDAcWo_msE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they have Zlatan but not many other players are on form. Lucas is very hit and miss, Cavani is v poor, even Matuidi has lost a step on his form last season. They have gone backwards since last season while we are much better than we were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose 2-1, we need to win by a specific score, and we could win and still go out....Sorry I didn't phrase that very well. Away goals can be hugely important as we saw in this very tie last year and I think it's worth risking a defeat for the benefit of an away goal (although you're right that a 2-1 loss isn't better than a 0-0 per se). If we actively seek to score then I think the worst that could happen is a 3-1 repeat of last year but if we play for a 0-0 then given how we have struggled to keep clean sheets in the big games I could see it being 2-0 to PSG and that would all but knock us out. Bottom line is we should not just sit back the entire game and I don't think we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matuidi.... Cabaye. It's hardly just Zlatan or even Cavani.While I agree they aren't just Cavani and Zlatan, they aren't nearly as imposing as they were last year. With the improvements we've made as a team and with a full strength squad we should be able to see this tie out. PSG are like a Helium balloon losing its helium slowly... I'm not in any way, shape or form as nervous as I was last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 They are worse than last season while Chelsea is far better.Paris' matches this season have been better than sleeping pills most of the times. For the money invested, they are shockingly bad. Jose managed to thump them with a midfield of Lampard and David Luiz, plus a 33 yo forward. And no Hazard.Just score a goal or two in that shit hole and we're through. It's really really hard to keep motivating yourselves after winning the title season after season, Wolfsburg will nick the title of Bayern sooner rather than later aswell. Even Fergie the ultimate motivatior could never pull off 4 in a row.The CL is a different kettle off fish, don't expect there lethargic league displays on show vs us.

Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 We should play this game to win, our confidence is growing, players will have a few days rest and we've got more than enough quality and class in our team not to sit in our half of the pitch and defend.
