Champions League | Matchday 6

PSG need to stop knocking it around the back like they’re a team that has any sort of chemistry. They’re a bunch of disconnected very talented individuals, stop the one twos in your own box and stick to relying on bits of brilliance
 
Salah has literally scored in everygame this season.....

He's hitting Messi/Ronaldo prime figures in goal scoring If he keeps this up

I think the point @NinjaZombie was making is that’s the kind of central midfielder we want and need.

Exactly.

For the kind of money we paid for him, and is undoubtedly paying him, he should be doing more. Destroyer? We might as well have given Ander Herrera the contract he wanted because Herrera was doing that job pretty well for us before he left. But some genius decided Fred was worth the money, and here we are.

You definitely can, for the vast majority — because you play to dominate possession and matches. In bigger games you tweak, but a Pogba Verratti pivot would have enough to control midfields against most sides around.

Moot point though, would never happen (at least for us).

I disagree, that midfield would get overrun quick with Bruno and Pogba (to a lesser extent) tendency to turn over possession to the opposition. Pogba's defensive contributions are not good and Bruno's positioning is too high up in this setup. The way it could work is getting Bruno to drop deeper (playing him as more of a b2b cm) and getting him to give away the ball less.
 
That PSG lineup is incredible. Only Herrera is a weak link and even he is very very good.

That's silly. Unless you really expect us to have world class players in every position on the pitch? We need a better CM than Fred sure but let's be realistic too.

My point was, Fred's importance to the team is overstated and Ole's faith in him is unfounded.

It's really ridiculous what oil money can get you. :lol:

Herrera would be our best midfielder if he was still playing for us.
 
PSG are playing with two Messi's. One up front and one in midfield.

2nd best

Bit then they did in this fixture last season in the first half and still won

Feel like they were just incapable of dealing with City's press in the second half of last season's game. Now the full press is on from City but they're still playing it out quite well.

Having Messi, Hakimi and Veratti helps.

We have no midfield pairing without him that is better than one with him. Anyway, you’re in the wrong thread moaning about him.
