PSG v Chelsea

They're not in good form, but that doesn't mean much. CL is where most of their guys want to shine... Ligue 1 isn't really motivational enough for them right now.

Despite this I still expect a good result. An away goal is a must! I'd roll with:

Cech (can't drop him after that performance IMO)

Iva

Zouma

Terry

Azpilicueta

Matic

Fabregas

Cuadrado

Willian

Hazard

Costa

Hope José doesn't respect them too much though. I'd love to see the Chelsea that went to the Etihad last year and put on a masterclass, if we put in that kind of a performance the win is ours. No need to relegate our offensive game.

My lineup:

Cech

Ivano - Cahill (I will go with experience in this game) - Terry - Luis

Ramires - Matic - Cesc

Willian - Costa - Hazard

433 is the formation we should go with in this game imo.

That won't happen - the whole problem we have had is width. That team is way too narrow.

We need the same lineup as Everton, except Fabregas for Ramires IMHO

We need Cuadrado and Hazard on the wings to keep their defence back and to give Costa space in the middle

Finally! A proper f**king match!

Whilst the rest of the country are sat around bothering about the FA cup, we're preparing for a proper competition! I haven't looked at PSG much this season but any club of their size is a major threat when they're playing in the Champions League. Just look at Dortmund as an example of a team not performing well in their domestic league but raising their game when it matters.

I would take a draw, preferably a 1-1 or 2-2.

He will.

Come on, we all know Mourinho's entire tactical approach at this point: overwhelm the rubbish teams and defend deep / counter-attack against anybody half-decent. His tactics are very basic (the most basic of all the top managers) so there will be no surprises at all.

We have to hope that PSG leave space on the counter which we can exploit and get some away goals.

Ramires will start for sure. Matic has been very good lately, Ramires is one of the reasons for that. He provides the right stability and is the perfect partner for Matic in big games.

We've seen the Cesc-Matic combination a few times in big (away) games this season and we struggled.

- United 1-1

- Liverpool COC 1-0

- Spurs 5-3

I expect:

Cech/Courtois

Iva Zouma JT Azpi

Ramires Matic

Willian Cesc Hazard

Costa

Cesc is a must, Zouma will probably start to deal with the pacey PSG attackers. Courtois or Cech? Not sure.

Yeah that's fine.....Just forget he [ivanovic] scored the winner to put us in the cup final, and the winner against villa and the cross and the 2 assists he's provided for goals in the last 5 games.!.... :ph34r:

I agree, forget all those. Instead just focus on...

...Jose is infatuated with him [ivanovic] so...

Indeed he is so... that'll do for me thank you.

I'm not saying that an appeal to authority is ever the way to conclude a discussion. I strongly respect the argument that goes, just because Jose, or anyone else for that matter, thinks something don't necessarily make it so. Thing is, I'm almost ashamed to admit, because Jose says, does work for me. So, for me, that closes the case.

Cahill will no doubt start. Zouma might get the nod at the bridge, but in Paris, Jose will almost certainly go with Cahill.

Depends on the approach. For a more open game Jose won't be afraid to select Zouma I think.

Zouma hasn't started away in the EPL and I doubt Jose will start him away in the CL. Jose always does that with young players. He starts them only at home for the first few months where the pressure is less.

His tactics are much more complicated than you think. Just because we, the common football fans, can't see what he is up to doesn't mean that his tactics are "basic". If they are, how come we have only lost 4 times this season?

Because we have better players than most of the teams we play.
