Pre Match. PSG vs Liverpool. CL Quarter Final (First Leg). Wed 8th April 2026. 2000 hrs

The thing is, we have quite clearly looked physically off it this year.

You look at PSG, their midfield are small and not exactly pacey but still dominate, snap into tackles and are organised. A management issue for us imo.

Their front 3, again, very slender and above average height but have pace and technique. Salah dropping off a cliff and wrong profiling for transfers for us.

That’s his sock puppet account. I let him back in on his old account, and he’s already managed to get himself banned again. :joy:

Do you honestly - honestly - think that if PSG take a 1-0 lead back to Anfield, we’ll really - REALLY - overturn it based on the fact that they’ve not even gotten out of second gear, and we’re running around like headless chickens with diarrhea?

(I mean, I suppose there’s a chance Slot will get the boot before the second leg?)

And it helps when your league tell you you don’t have to play at the weekend ffs.

Early voting?

Or did he use a pun?

Well we do need someone to actually take a shot. Could get lucky with a deflection.

That’s a problem for another day. Today the aim is to be in the tie when it comes back to Anfield.

There is still 45mins to play on Paris, so it might end up moot. But we shouldn’t feel under pressure to go and try and win this tonight, because honestly if we try and go toe to toe here they will fucking murder us.

Will Slot throw Isak on at some point? And if he does, are we capable of getting the ball to a striker?

And it was a shitty deflection…so really they haven’t scored yet…my theory and I’m grasping at straws…

No, he pissed of hope by not taking a request to stop going on about politics in the match thread.

I reckon 70-75mins, and I can’t wait cos Ekitike has been shite.

That was my thinking too.

Whoops…

I think I started that segue!

That’s unlike me…

i have become so scared of 2nd halfs under this coach

Perhaps we’ll get a promising set piece situation if we’re lucky. That could be our breakthrough.

I’m going with the Rocky 2 theory.

Switch stance to protect a dodgy eye that wouldn’t cause a problem in any subsequent films, but at a later moment when PSG are a bit jaded, switch back to our traditional south paw stance and smash 'em for a glorious draw.

Gone back to a back 4.

I don’t get the criticism from Carra and Henry. Yes, we’re playing quite negatively, but we’re clearly playing for two legs. Keeping it at 1-0 away would be a win for us, IMO.

psg kick off routine is interesting…talk about kicking it into touch
