This midfield is horrible.PSG fans seem to think they’ll line up something like this
Buffon
Meunier - Kimpembe - Silva - Bernat
Di Maria - Alves - Marquinhos - Neymar
Mbappe - Cavani
If that’s the case I’d be very tempted to go with 3-5-2.

Agree. I followed Zlatan in PSG and the one who really impressed me was Veratti, he had the ability to really destroy the opponents' games and start their own attacks. In my eyes he is a bigger threat than Neymar. Cavani, Mbappe and Neymar can replace each other but no one else in the team has the qualities that Veratti has. In my eyes he is irreplaceable and the only negative with him is that he loses his head sometimes, dribbles in front of his own goal and takes unnecessary cards with dangerous tackles.Veratti is a bigger issue than Neymar, but Neymar getting hurt definitely makes things far worse. As great as Neymar can be, he's more replaceable without as many complications compared to Veratti. I still think this will be a big test for United, and PSG definitely has a chance to progress, it's just unfortunate that we won't see the teams facing one another at full force (although I'm sure most United fans won't mind).
I asked "why" in reference to his career ending because of this injury. Why would it end?Perhaps it is because he is a super player, and a super personality in football terms.. some adore him, some do not.. he is a diva, a genuine talking point.... And a truly outstanding talent who backs up all the attention and hype with performances and goals. He is brilliant. Truly brilliant. Not many players like that in world football.
I hope this is not the beginning of the end.
Our manager is not a coward.Why ?
Sevilla was weaker than PSG ( even without Neymar )
He has not been bad, just distinctinly average. He is last in the midfield pecking order at Bayern, who are not really having a great season. Thiago has been great and Goretzka has been okay, but James, Muller and Martinez are all having a difficult season. It‘s also a dilemma for Kovac because the Muller and James situations are incredibly difficult to handle, with all the various internal and external interests at place.Is he back to bad again? I think he’s had some promising stint earlier but haven’t heard much about him since.

Ok, my misunderstanding so apologies.I asked "why" in reference to his career ending because of this injury. Why would it end?
Surely you would recover from that a lot better than an ankle injury/break? Albeit maybe a slower recovery.https://www.psg.fr/equipes/equipe-premiere/content/point-medical-concernant-neymar-jr
He re-injured his right foot, which was operated last year
More than 15 minutes, but I agree, PSG are a level above. I’m not too confident. Just one thing, don’t compare us to Liverpool, even if it’s an apt comparison, don’t.Neymar may be out for the rest of the season, it is the same injury as the one that kept him out from February till the world cup.
We are going to sign a defensive midfielder before the end of the window, it may be Parades from zenith or Gueye from Everton, Allan is lined up but highly unlikely, Napoli asking price close to 100 million £ for him.
However despite the Neymar injury we are still too much to handle for your average defense, Manchester United conceded close to 40 goals so far ( 39 ? ), and Mbappe & Cavani vs Phil Jones looks tasty.
The turnaround in form under Ole is amazing, it reminds me when Kenny Dalglish took over in mid season at Liverpool and did extremely well with a poor squad.
From your last bit of games, you were more than decent against average oppositions and apart from 15 minutes against Tottenham I thought you were horrendous with De Gea bailing you out once again, we might be not as nice as Tottenham when it comes to finishing our chances, feeling confident for this one.

Our defending is improving under OGS with 4 goals we let in after 7 games. And we finally use the same team every week wich improves the player relations on the pitch.Neymar may be out for the rest of the season, it is the same injury as the one that kept him out from February till the world cup.

On the flip side your defence in Europe has struggled against the forward press and we cut Spurs open time and time again because thy left the flanks wide open which you will do because your forwards don't track back.Neymar may be out for the rest of the season, it is the same injury as the one that kept him out from February till the world cup.

If you watched the return Liverpool and Napoli games you'd realise PSG does better than simply letting the flanks open for counterattacks.On the flip side your defence in Europe has struggled against the forward press and we cut Spurs open time and time again because thy left the flanks wide open which you will do because your forwards don't track back.
And Spurs have a better defensive structure than you do.
Napoli played well away to you but theres a reason you only highlighted the two home games.If you watched the return Liverpool and Napoli games you'd realise PSG does better than simply letting the flanks open for counterattacks.
It's the away game at Napoli and home against Pool, basically after Tuchel found out a proper tactical setup. And yes midfielders did help a lot covering the flanks.Napoli played well away to you but theres a reason you only highlighted the two home games.
And its not just this season, its the same flaw that has been evident over the last few seasons.
I still remember your RB pleading for help down his flank at Anfield. Literally begging for help.
Its the same every season. Lazy away and competent at home.It's the away game at Napoli and home against Pool, basically after Tuchel found out a proper tactical setup. And yes midfielders did help a lot covering the flanks.
Their defence and attack is superior to ours.We don't need to worry about any PSG player if we score 4 right?
What does their defence look like? They're prone to bottling. I feel good about this one.
Seems like you didn't see the return, away, Napoli game. I'm speaking in the wind here.Its the same every season. Lazy away and competent at home.
Until the framework of the club changes the manager has little effect on this.
Even your Napoli example had them get behind your defence time and time again and you needed a last minute goal to salvage a draw.
Every season its this year that PSG have worked out their flaws and every year the same pattern emerges.

I did and I lost money in it.Seems like you didn't see the return, away, Napoli game. I'm speaking in the wind here.
I posted my predicted lineup 2 pages ago:
Draxler is the most natural replacement for Neymar. Marquinhos, Di Maria, Draxler, Alves can potentially play in midfield, some sources also mention 2 possible recruits in midfield.More like Kehrer instead of Meunier and I expect Verratti to be fit, Alves still has a lot to prove as a midfielder, plus one potential starter in midfield should be signed this window.
BuffonTuchel has brought flexibility in tactical systems, so the setup could be very different.
Kehrer Marquinhos Silva Bernat/Kurzawa
Di Maria Verratti recruit Neymar
Cavani Mbappé
Impossible to know at this stage because (1) Tuchel is experimenting diverse teams (2) it's possible that PSG acquires a central midfielder this winter (Paredes?Allan?...) (3) not impossible Rabiot comes back
