I reckon this will be a high scoring match. Similar team to Saturday with a solid base in midfield to start off with and bring on more creativity if required. Let Bruno Mata/VDB and Rash hit them on the counter. Play McT and Bailly to rough up a few of their influential players and stop their flow. I wouldn’t be starting Pogba Martial or greenwood as they have been off the pace so far. PSG aren’t looking as solid this year and they are missing a few good players so I think we can get a draw which would be a nice start in the trickiest away fixture of the group. Bet Herrera has a great game against us if he plays, he’ll be all over BrunoAny news on this mysterious injury for Greenwood?
I noticed that too.As long as VDB starts this time, Im happy. Probably (maybe/sadly)) the most experienced CL player we have right now so I have no doubt he can handle it.
I will be seriously mystified if VDB doesn’t start this game considering he had such an impact when coming on. He looks as sharp as anyone. And with our fixture congestion it’s a no brainer to start him.Tuchel confirms Marquinhos and Draxler are back in training.
ADM who hasn't been playing in the league will be well rested, fit and raring to go.
So no real injuries for PSG? Looks like we will both have full teams.Aren't 23 player matchday squads allowed in the CL this season? Yet our traveling party is only 21. Surely a couple of the missing names will go.
Icardi, Paredes and Veratti are out. I am not sure how hot their form was.
Ah ok. That's actually quite good for us, although Mbappe Neymar and Di Maria can just feck up a game in one swoop. Hopefully our midfield can win the central battles.Have this been posted?
If not..

No Maguire, no Cavani.
And of course no badboy Greenwood.
If he hasn’t travelled it’s because he is still way short on cardio fitness, which is better improved at Carrington and without wasting energy travelling?
a shame as I liked the narrative of him playing against his former team and stadium
No Bailly either?
How do you make a CB partnership or back three with these resources? DifficultNow we really have to park the bus

He's pointing out our defenders mistakes moving into the wrong gate.
Is he dictating the traffic?
Yeah so did the media as well looking at the quotes from Tuchels presserI hope we don't play 5 at the back. We should just play the way we have been doing. Maybe play Bruno, Pogba and VDB together and see how it goes. If we go with 5 at the back and 3 midfielders, we'll end up defending the whole match and PSG will put pressure and get the goals eventually. I hope we just play 4-3-3 and go for it. If we get a good start, things might head our way. If we start by defending and on the back foot, they'll swallow us alive. Come on Ole, attack attack attack! A draw is the minimum best we must get in this match.
I just realize no Bailly... looking dead certain McT and Fred will play to protect our defense.
Our CBs selection will be interesting.
Think I'll go with this,
De GeaWith McT-Fred supporting our defense, switching TFM with VDB for 4231 won't be a bad choice either.
AWB -- TFM -- Lindelof -- Shaw -- Telles
McTominay -- Fred
Bruno
Rashford -- Martial
Is this official or from somewhere like MEN?
Yeah they are all round at Eric's house getting shit-faced.@Niall not seeing Tuanzebe in team selection options?Same team again apart from Axel for Maguire.Based on the travelling squad it has to be a back 5
AWB / Lindelof - Tuanzebe - Shaw / Telles
Martial has to start too, huge game this weekendTweet
— Twitter API (@user) datewhy no cavani?
Was out on the lash with williams apparently. Ole has relegated him to the reserves
So now we have a 25 man squad. What is the allowed number?
has only trained a couple of days.why no cavani?
Is that true? Every news I hear of Greenwood lately has not been great.DDGIt can’t be anything else. Ole dropped that hint by taking up that formation in the last 20 minutes. It unlocks the fullbacks ( AWB goal) and eventually Telles. VDB plays a stabilizing role between Scott, Pogba and Bruno. Scott is a false CB - he’s shown to be quite good in that position anyway. Martial and Rashford have great chemistry and obviously know how to play the channels well. Potentially Matic for Scott.

Last edited:Thomas Tuchel revealed that forward Mauro Icardi – who has netted twice in four games for the Parisians this season – will sit out the clash at the Parc des Princes.
The Argentinian front-man picked up a knee-ligament injury. PSG also have a problem in midfield, as Marco Verratti is out with a quadriceps issue, while Leandro Paredes was injured during Friday’s 4-0 win over Nimes in Ligue 1.
The French champions’ starting full-backs from last season’s final, Thilo Kehrer and Juan Bernat, are also out.
There is, however, some good news for the hosts as captain Marquinhos and German playmaker Julian Draxler are set to train on Monday in preparation for the game.
Tuchel confirmed former United man Angel di Maria and full-back Layvin Kurzawa are available. The pair have been missing in recent weeks after serving domestic suspensions.
“For my team, today we are expecting Marquinhos and Draxler to start practice with us after the press conference and we hope they’ll be able to play with us,” said Tuchel.
“Verratti will be missing, as will Icardi, Paredes, Kehrer and Bernat.”
Unless some strong source confirms, as of now, this is just a rumour.
Been a free agent since June means no training since then apart from 2 days with the club as he had to quarantine for 2 weeks since signing. Will take him a few weeks to get some fitness.why no cavani?
No Maguire makes it hard to guess. Definitely think we do some weird 3-5-2, but with Matic or McTominay as one of the 3 CBs next to Lindelof and Shaw. Would also like Henderson to be in net, he needs his time and a clean split of cup/league goalkeepers should keep them both happy for the time being.
Henderson
Lindelof Matic Shaw
Wan Bissaka McTominay Pogba Telles
Bruno
Rashford Martial
Greenwood off the bench, Fred off the bench, Van de Beek off the bench. Would be delighted if VdB started but I don't see it with Pogba being rested on the weekend. Maybe VdB for Bruno, but Ole will never rest Bruno away to PsG.
If we have 3 CB's I guarantee McT will be one of them. I just realize no Bailly... looking dead certain McT and Fred will play to protect our defense.
Our CBs selection will be interesting.

Maguire injured?
He was carrying a knock from England duty apparentlyMaguire picked up a slight tear, but will hopefully be back against Chelsea.
Not sure how we'll go with a back 3 now.
I dont think theyll play after 1 training session- Status
