Neymar out of game at OT?

"Of course we have a fairly decent chance of not getting battered at OT"

If Fellaini was fit and playing you'd be all over us winning the game

Nah, even under Jose I’d be worried

But we did win at Juve so you never know. Football is a funny old game and Ole is on a roll

People go on about the PSG defence but Thiago Silva is arguably one of the best CBs in the world and Marquinhos is a very good partner for him

Of course we have a fairly decent chance of not getting battered at OT - but even without Neymar, the likes of ADM, Cavani and Mbappe will be very excited about playing against our defence. If Brighton could cut through us at will then it’s scary to think what PSG will do

Brighton didn't cut us open at will at OT though

It was scary how often they bypassed our midfield and got into great positions

No they didn't. They had very few chances

If I was a paying punter at OT, I’d be annoyed if a player such as Neymar wasn’t playing.

That's a fair point. I have seen him play at OT before though for Brazil in the Olympics. He was sublime that day too.

It depends how you look at it. Probably gives us a better chance of progressing if he misses out.

Not that fussed about the injury. I think when the chips are down PSG often look as good without him.

Would have been nice to see Neymar in person however I'd rather see Mbappe anyway.

Always thought Thiago Silva was overrated. Seen defenses he’s been part of destroyed plenty of times.

Me too. We got to see him very close up. Thought he was stunning that day if a tad lightweight. He was a skinny young kid, with ridiculous talent.
