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

That was my first thought, but Pearce’s statement about a back three is what I’m considering.

He did, but we went ten unbeaten as a result, until we got done by Utd in the game Gerrard gets sent 30 seconds after coming on, at which point Brendan went ‘fuck that then’ and we never saw it again.

Aside from us only having three centre backs, three at the back is not the worst shout for us. It mitigates Van Dijk struggling, it allows us to play with wing backs which will suit the two we’ve got, it means we can get away with having no fucking wingers, and allows us to pack the midfield which will be a help for Wirtz and Mac Allister.

PSG isn’t the game for this, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Robertson on the left of the back three. I’m not a fan of him at centre back, but we could really, really do with his leadership on the pitch right now.

Where I think it feels like desperation is turning to it with no time on the training pitch. I’d have felt more comfortable if we’d emerged from the international break in a new set up, rather than it looking like a reaction to getting twatted at the Etihad.

Play for the 0-0 then sub on Harvey and Darwin for the last 10 for a smash and grab.

Don’t you? Brendan was very keen to let us all know that he’d stayed up all night working it out using all his cutlery and generational coaching genius, and that was why we won a load of 1-0s on the spin. Almost like sticking an extra centre back in means you’ll concede fewer goals or something?

Relax. This will either be a pleasant surprise or it will tell us what we already know.
