From what Ole was saying yesterday, he hasn't even trained with the rest of the players yet. So quite unlikely, hopefully we can get him up to speed for the weekend against Chelsea.

From what Ole was saying yesterday, he hasn't even trained with the rest of the players yet. So quite unlikely, hopefully we can get him up to speed for the weekend against Chelsea.I fancy this for some reason. PSG arent all that imo
Why shouldn't it be?
If everyone follows the protocol (looking at you, Greenwood), they fly over there, reside in a hotel, play a game behind closed doors and then fly home again.
It's basically a short-time bubble situation.
Would you agree that you have a very good starting 11, but not exactly the best depth?
how are you guys broke
We have to comply with financial fair play. With Neymar and Mbappé's transfers/wages, we just cant buy for more than 50M a year without selling. That's why we play with guys like Bernat that we bought 5M, Florenzi on loan etc.Do we get to play in the Dazzle kit?
I wouldn't exactly say that. I'd say we have a very good attack (even a very decent bench) but our midfield and full backs, even in the starting 11, are subpar. As I mentionned in my previous posts; we play with Florenzi (loan, lots of injury troubles, didn't even play for Roma last year) and Bernat (that wasn't playing anymore for Bayern when we bought him for 5M). Also, we have Verratti + 5 or 6 average midfielders but not a single top lvl among them. Our team is just VERY unbalanced and badly recruited.
Just compare our attack : Mbappé-Neymar-Icardi-Di Maria-Sarabia-Kean-Draxler (Jese)
With our midfield : Verratti-Herrera-Gueye-Danilo Pereira-Paredes-Rafinha
It's just ridiculous how unbalanced it is.Id put the same team as against Newcastle except Rashford LW and Martial ST up frontCan one of our players clatter Di Maria again please?
Feck that. Martial has not registered a single shot on target yet. Unleash Cavani.
Unbalanced squad or not, I’m still quite worried about that attack against our current defence. Today’s performance notwithstanding.
I like the look of this, although do we think De Gea will be expecting to play the CL games and leave Henderson to play domestic cups only?
Yeah, same. It might not be the one to get the juices flowing but we looked a lot more secure today with McTominay and Fred in there (obvious caveat of it only being Newcastle) but still, probably a necessity against a team with players like Mbappe and Neymar.
Gives us more options from the bench that way too.I'd play with a back 3 this game. Lindelof sucks and Maguire needs pace around him. We could also do something to surprise them, and I think this team could play ball with them.
Henderson
Bailly-Maguire-Shaw
AWB-Fred-Pogba-Telles

Greenwood-Martial
Rashford and Bruno on if we struggle. Matic and McTominay on if we need to shut things down.
I'd think we play in the home strips, no? Guess they do have a red stripe down their shirts but I feel like dazzle and green kits are both even more similar in terms of tonesHope we play a lot better than we did the last time we were there, but as long as we get the same result I won't care. Toughest game in the group, draw would be a good result. Good to have UCL nights again, even if it is without fans
we played in the pink kit last time went there. I figure more or less we would be in at least the away kitthis is why we wanted to get back into the CL. Looking forward to it.
we are still getting up to speed, and integrating our new players - so won’t draw any conclusions from the result. but excited for us to be back.
Sorry mate, Bournemouth are in the CHAMPIONSHIP not the Champions league.
I'm a Manchester United supporter though. I wouldn't say what I said if i wasn't, would I.. it's tough I know.Dean

I’ll rest one of Fred or Scott for the Chelsea game. Rest Mata, Bruno & Rashford. Rotation.
Similar line up structure, 2 double pivot, 2 creative playmaker, 2 goal scorers.
Only tongue in cheek - a bit below the belt, I'll admit.AWB - Lindelof-Maguire-Shaw-Telles
Matic- Pogba
Bruno
Martial-RashfordIf Mason isn't fit to play I'd go for this line-up.
So hard to tell against a team like PSG. On paper they should beat us. But if we play anywhere near our best they'll have to raise their level from what's normally required of them. Will be interesting, can't wait
I would make use of the fresh legs in midfield but would also leave Fred in as he wins a lot of balls for us and our biggest threat is probably on the counter.
———————————DDG
AWB——Lindelof————Maguire———Shaw

It will be difficult for Mata to play another game in 3 days time.
It would be strange to aim for a back 3. Telles doesn’t speak English yet. It means that he can not communicate with team mates. Realistically, he is not in the team right now.
We have rested enough players ourselves: Martial, Pogba, Matic, Greenwood, VdB... our one worry is Rashford and Bruno but we have to hope they can sustain it. The others should be able to play.
If we focus on second ball winning and the half spaces we should have a chance. But for that it was important to have a top physical condition. Or the parisiens are going to run free behind us.We out ran them in midfield last time. So bringing Pogba and Matic in disrupts that a bit.
Would go for Fred and Mctominay with Bruno there. And Van de beek on the right left somewhere.
And even Bruno. Maybe this is the game to rest Bruno and play VDB.-------------------DDG--------------

Presume this is what you want, rather than what you expect? Because id give that zero percent chance of happening.
YesGood bounce back against Newcastle but sadly can't see us winning this. 3-1 psgIn all honesty, expect to be fairly convincingly beaten here- Status
