I was actually thinking it's good if we start Phil Jones and Smalling at centre back and Lindelof as a dm. Our midfield is too lightweight against them.It would be a better idea, albeit still a bad one, to play Jones in MF.
For a start Jones has actually played in that position in big games for the club before.
Thinking about it that might be an idea. Play Jones in a double pivot with McTominay, with Fred or Pereira at 10 and attack down the wings..
It is too late to change my team prediction

PSG 1:3 Man Utd
Did his job without any spectacular tackles or anything but good positioning, reading the game, and no mistakes.
What a defensive beast ! Turning out to be the best defender we bought post Fergie !!
Absolutely epitomises what a modern day defender looks like. Fantastic at covering, composed, great passer and a solid tackler. Best CB on the pitch today.
Guy was immense tonight. No need for last minute sliding tackle as he knew his positioning all night. Calmness personified.
He's so so good
Absolute hero. The Iceman cometh.
He's been great for a while now. Really pleased for the lad.
The tenacity he shows stands out. Come hell or high water he will try to sort it.

Immense, beast of a CB. What a turnaround!
He has matured so much over the past 4-5 months.
He's an absolute rock

He’s fecking brilliant!
It's not a debate anymore, he's top class. He keeps coming up against these top forwards comes walks away with a flask full of their tears.
Smalling was better tonight I thought but them two as a unit are great.
So good. So cool and calm.
Really good performance from Lindelof tonight.
Overshadowed by Smalldini tonight but still had a very composed game.
Excellent.
6 months ago I thought that he wasn't good enough, now I think that he's one of the best performing defenders in Europe. The lad is brilliant!
I remember everyone saying his Aerial ability is poor and he cant head the ball
This is great
Becoming more and more confident in this fella
I thought he was going to be good for us, I never thought that he is going to be a monster in our defence. He proved everyone wrong.
He is so cool in our defence, the stage doesn't faze him a bit. The true iceman.

Lindelof is incredible and fascinating at the same time. He's never in a situation of last ditch tackles and attackers are reluctant to attack from his side,almost like they are scared to. Today he didn't perform as incredible as smalling but he had little to do(at least not as much as smalling).
Been one of the best CB’s around since Ole took charge.
I was one of his biggest haters because he comes from the same country as me and he always have that "Swedish mentality" where you are to kind and dont take your chances. Dont mind Zlatan he has another blood but Lindelöf has turn it ALL around.
The way he plays on the first touch with confidence and how he are not afraid to play in the back even when they put pressure on him. Just amazing perfomance once again!!

Absolutely quality. He's been one of our best and most consistent performers in the Ole era. He seems to get an extra 2-3% better almost with every game.
im so happy for him. never doubted his talent at all
Just another run of the mill excellent performance.
Beautiful.
Happy for him to continue the run of form. Always liked the kid. He's balling out.
Iceman! Composed. Natural. I am beyond impressed. He always looked like an average defender to me and a bad buy, but he has been remarkably grown up. Such a likeable character as well. Feel like a Vidic type of signing.
That was true though. He's massively improved.
Standard performance from him these days and hes clearly becoming the leader in defence. We only need one new CB.
we finally have a proper cb partnership, the naysayers cant come out and say they are not good enough for a ucl team
Actually he's normally the CB they try to run in behind, at least when playing with Smalling. He's the one that sometimes they do get in behind, and at other times he does well defending the run in behind him and is able to see off the danger.
Actually he’s not.
Future captain in my eyes, will only get better.
