Smash the shit out of them. We can do this.
Don't think we necessarily have to score early on. If it were 0-0 going into the 70th minute for example I'd be happy with that.Full on press right from kick off - if we score early then its game on. We cant show the feckers any respect
First line up close to what I was thinking, but with Shaw instead of Young, but could see that, as Shaw has played every game recently. Would play McTominay and Fred as holding midfield players, although Fred would be able to support any attacks going forward, as long as he was able to get back in a defensive position when PSG break. Pereira in the central attacking midfield position, like Lingard v Spurs, and Rashford coming in from wide left and Lukaku coming in from wide right, leaving space on both wings for Dalot and Shaw (Young) to exploit. I think Ole needs to hit PSG with a surprise somewhere, whether this could be it, I'm not sure, be we have to go for it, and probably will. Get an early goal, and who knows, let in an early goal and it's probably goodnight. Would have Chong, Gomes and Garner on bench, also Greenwood if fit, and if we are losing, then give some of them a runout.De Geasubs: Romero; Bailly, Rojo; Garner, Chong, Gomes, Martial
Bailly--Smalling--Lindelof
Dalot--Pereira--McTominay--Fred--Young
Lukaku--Rashford
or
De Gea
Young--Smalling--Lindelof--Shaw
Pereira--McTominay--Fred
Dalot--Lukaku--Rashford
We don't have to win by 3, just by 2Even if we give up a goal or five, we have to keep pressing to score because we have to win by 3, period.
I agree with this! There's no way we'll be able keep control in the midfield with the players we have out so get the ball up to our goal threats ASAP and hope they can produce some magic!------------------DDG----------------

We'd do well to keep it to 3-0 with that midfield------------------DDG--------------------

State on that fecking midfield.
PSG 3 - 0 Man United
Yes, again. Hope it will be a better episode and not just a replay on the previous one.
We can hope they are a bit arrogant, and think they are already through, and are not really switched on, possibly score an early goal, and PSG miss their chances, and then who knows? I don't think we'll be holding back when we get the ball.Some things give me a little hope and as long as it remains, I will look forward to the match.
One is the uncertainty. This time, PSG can hardly figure out in advance how we will play. We will also have a number of players on the pitch who want to fight for a regular place in the starting line. If Ole can make them fight for their life and surpass themselves then there is a possibility.
The second is unexpected coincidences. If we get one or maybe even two penalties or PSG gets an early red card on a key player (preferably Veratti) then it can change the match picture pretty much.
The chances are very small but they exist and I find it hard to imagine anything other than that the players and Ole are really investing in trying to achieve a miracle. They know that if it succeeds, they will all be heroes and who does not want to be?
I haven't read a single arrogant statement from PSG after the first game. And if someone does say something, i highly doubt Tuchel, Buffon or Alves would let that fly.We can hope they are a bit arrogant, and think they are already through, and are not really switched on, possibly score an early goal, and PSG miss their chances, and then who knows?

That's about the only way they can lose this IMO but I think Tuchel won't allow that to happen. This isn't the same PSG mentally that beat Barcelona 4-0 and lost 6-1, they've learned from it and I fully expect them to progress to the next stage with another win, especially without Pogba for United. That being said, a set-piece or penalty is all it would take to put some pressure on the hosts, I just think Mbappe or Di Maria will turn up again with a goal or two for PSG and make it impossible for United to mount a serious comeback.We can hope they are a bit arrogant, and think they are already through, and are not really switched on, possibly score an early goal, and PSG miss their chances, and then who knows?

I think most people expect them to get through, but If De Gea has one of those games, and Pereira can hit one like yesterday, who knows. I would love to see us score and put pressure on them, even if we do go out. Some players will learn a lot from this match.That's about the only way they can lose this IMO but I think Tuchel won't allow that to happen.
