    Well we are getting showed up for what we are at the moment. Unfortunately I can't see the board spending the £200m needed for us to be a genuinely top team again.
     
    I'm afraid the truth is out: we are nowhere near good enough. If this had been a Jose team there would be war here. We don't have world-class players - Pogba has been shown up, rashford has been close to anonymous and his passing has been poor. It's all very well against other teams in and around us in the PL but we are nowhere in european terms and I'm afraid Ole either doesn't have the know-how to change things or he knows we don't have the players to do so: in 1999 we had two top-class players in many of the important positions. But, as I've said all season, a team that has a failed winger as full back isn't going to win much
     
    Mata so slow he's literally being run circles around and he can do nothing about it.
     
    Theye done a job on us and we've walked into all their traps. Unfortunately
     
    I swear if I see Goof Troop one more fecking time tonight I'm going to shit out my intestines.

    Why was Pogba greedy with that first half attempt...

    "Young is hard working and gets United"

    "Lingard moves a lot"

    That's what you get defending such mediocrity.

    We have some players who undo the work of the other good ones.

    You pick out Lingard on a night where his injury clearly played a big part of our undoing? Strange stuff, mate.

    Our defence is simply getting horribly exposed. Hell, the entire team is.

    Our attack isn’t great too. Pogba marked and nobody stepping up. We got nobody who can beat a man our wide.
     
    Come on United. Get a goal at least

    Playing with Mata and Sanchez is like being 2 players down.

    Ive been saying it. Mata is utterly useless. Can't press or defend. After he was brought on Psg suddenly playing in our half more than 5 minutes. I'm sick right now. We are toothless in this game and it will only get worse.

    I personally didn't post much before because I was afraid of that. That we'd get outclassed

    I didn't think we'd necessarily win, but this type of performance is just really disappointing.

    We looked like a youth team out there.
     
    Not good enough unfortunately, but I believe this team will go places in 2-3 years.
    Still, should be doing much better at home nights like this.
    Even at their shitthiest Liverpool could’ve been anyone at Anfield.
    This is inexcusable.

    One bad game in 11, what is wrong with you??? We don't need this kind of negativity here.

    He had plenty of time on the ball first half. Just did feck all with it.

    Lingard, Herrera, Martial and Pogba were all incredibly sloppy on the ball first half. Far too casual in possession. With the injuries we couldn't have predicted, only chance we had in this game was taking it to them and scoring early.

    He got almost one following him whenever he got the ball. He was never free. In these situations you expect the rest to step up so that PSG will have to mark them and will lessen the pressure on Pogba but nope. Man marking Pogba is enough to kill our entire plan.

    Reminds me when Herrera marked Hazard a couple of years ago.

    The injuries absolutely ruined us.

    That plus schoolyard defending.

    Dunno man, Martial and Lingard were both poor. PSG grew into the game throughout the first half and were firmly on top by the end. We didn't have a single shot on target.

    They're just a better team, better players and better coached.
     
    The overreaction here is downright embarrassing

    Look where we’ve come from in 2 months and now up against a plastic club who are among the best in Europe. feck, Emery won with this team!
    We knew we had a building job to do with at least 4 players not good enough
     
    Quality wise we are not one of the elite clubs in Europe , we are a good bit off that quality and that is showing tonight. They have come without some of their best attacking players and still opened us up with ease.

    Important now that we don't let this knock us so much that the rest of the season crumbles for us as well.

    Matic has to start playing more forward too.

    It's not just that. We stopped pressing after the first 25 minutes all together. Maybe it's a fitness thing but PSG got their breakthrough after sustained pressing and pinning us back. Ours just fell away on the high press completely.

    nothing. We try to play. We need improvement next season but this game has been a mix of bad ref, injuries that ruined the energy and gameplan and mbappe being lightning. Also alot of play acting

    PSG are good, we could have beat them today though. We didnt play well in the first half but losing martial and lingard as killed the fluidity and counter attack threat.

    what do we do? we keep trying to score and hope we can turn it round in Paris and focus on top 4 and investment in the summer.

    excellent overview imo

    How are people shocked by this result ?
    We have a decent set of players who've done well recently but PSG,even with their struggles,are a class apart.
    A wake up call for the fans more than anything.

    Think some were ridiculously arrogant before the game. Think nerves have either got to the players or the manager as well.
     
    I've no idea what Ole said at half time but boy we have been poor in the second half
