A little look forward to next week. Just wanted to know who has kept up to date or seen many of PSG's games this year?
I've been keeping tabs, and I watched Lyon vs PSG on the weekend. They can definitely be got at defensively, Lyon had a lot of chances, and I feel our attackers are arguably better than theirs.
Neymar will be missing the game. Mbappe and Cavani the obvious dangers. Their midfield looks a little light, but their new signing Paredes is a good player, think he hasn't played yet, just signed in Jan.
I really believe we have a chance, at least at home to get a result. I'm looking forward to this game immensely.
Add to the fact they haven't done well in the knockouts in recent seasons..

You always have a chance in knockout football.
Neymar is a huge loss. Rabiot and Verratti likely missing too.
We have an opportunity to dominate their midfield. If we do, we have a great chance.

I actually think Neymar can hinder their play at times, whilst elevating it at others, so I'm not that chuffed about him being out. Plus I'd have liked to see him play tbh.
Mbappe is the real concern, he is one of those you just have to admit is too good when he's on form, and if he turns up I'm sure that'll be the feeling at OT.
We need to attack and be ruthless, as the OP says they can be got at and we will struggle at their place

Mbappe is unbelievable but like Neymar doesn't defend leaving them vulnerable down the wings.
A few months ago, i would have backed PSG to hit double figures now i expect a real close tie.

Lyon got a lot of joy from attacking down PSG's right side through Depay and Mendy on Sunday so that might be something Ole's looking at with Martial and Shaw. Whether Tuchel lines up with Alves in front of Kehrer against us though I don't know.
We'll get opportunities on the break and if we get good service to runners in behind. Just need to be as clinical as possible because keeping them out at the other end is easier said than done but if we can keep them from scoring at OT and score ourselves, we'll give ourselves half a chance in Paris.
I fear their front line but not so much what's behind them.

We need to win at home as they are good in Paris. Very good there.

If we play the PSG who showed up at Anfield in the group stages then we can definitely turn them over. The away leg will be very tough but the players can take heart from the Juve result and to an extent, the redult and performance against Spurs in the league. They know they can go to difficult places and get positive results, could throw Chelsea at SB in there too.
It’s an exciting month or so in store for us though, that’s for sure and I can’t wait

Random but anyone seen this person before? I just saw that link on bbc and he smashes TV's like a crazy man just because of a football result. He even has a Man Utd hat in one.
BTW I did watch a bit of PSG in the cup game they lost and they seem to be clumsy in there own box. We need to target there defence.
