    Two things I learned during the first 45 minutes:

    Telles looks out best left-back since Evra
    We are better defensively without Maguire

    Also by the way, Neymar has been mostly garbage. Guy is way too consumed in his individual qualities that he simply wants to do nothing bar getting past 3-4 players before putting it in himself. Each time he got the ball, he goes for the dribbling through multiple players. He destroyed multiple PSG attacks.

    with this line up, we only have two weaknesses.

    no.1 neither fred or mctominay can pass in between the lines, if either one of them could do this with confidence, we would be a couple up.

    2. Neither Martial or Rashford are as threatening on the ball as neymar or mbappe, which is the only reason psg pinned us back in that half. theyre not really threatening

    Tuchel is an idiot for not starting Marquinhos, we’ve had this largely our own way.

    I have the sort of feeling that teams must have about MMM when playing us on a bad day. The nagging concern that Neymar, Mbappe, or Di Maria have the quality to pull something out of nothing.

    Talking about MMM, just a bit sharper Martial please - good feet but not great finishing

    It’s dull, but this system really suits us. Almost think we should play it all the time in the PL. Much more defensively secure, and we’ve got enough going forward to get a couple of goals most games.

    Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
    Mctominay has been brilliant. Our pressing has been outstanding. We just need to wake up on the ball when we win it high up. We’ve had countless chances and been so wasteful in possession. Stop showing them so much respect - they’re absolutely there for the taking with our attacking players.

    Telles left foot is going to be valuable.

    Pretty easy half, PSG started at walking pace, and it hasn't changed.

    As most of us have known for some time we're far more functional without Pogba.

    Glad Ole has come to that conclusion now.

    When we had our shape they had no idea what to do. The only time they really threatened was when they intercepted our attempts at quick passes in our own final third. I'm good with being aggressive in trying to launch counters but it's not going to be there every single time and we need to be a little more savvy in that regard.

    Poor? He's been very good at breaking up their play.
    He's struggled with Neymar's quality, but many players would. His determination and willingness to get stuck in are worth the risk, and we need players with heart as well as quality tonight, although he's got to watch it now he's on a yellow.

    I wouldn't bring Pogba on at this stage, unless Scott looks as if he's heading for a second yellow. It's not as if Pogba puts in a shift defensively.

    The thing that worries me is Mctominay’s yellow card. We can’t take any risks here, substitution is needed

    PSG midfield lack creativity. They couldn't play through tactic. Through the middle. They don't have a target so even they worked a way through the flanks, mist of the time, there is not option to cross.

    If we can somehow get second goal, I think we can win this game.

    Lots of people feel this way, then he comes on, doesn’t track markers, doesn’t run, and everything turns to mud. He then puts two players clean through on goal with worldie passes. The team as a whole looks jaded and lost. Rinse, repeat.
    Exactly...watching the Spurs highlights on the pregame were down right pathetic. Happy we have energy tonight, I just wish Pogba would work hard for United.

    Tuanzebe - not bad against Neymar for someone who plays for the first time in a year
