Ancelotti did not want to lose. You can’t play attcking football for 90 minutes and PAG is dangerous on the break. I think Ancelotti was spot on and we are top of the group.
I really hate Liverpool and PL teams and hope PSG beats them. If we beat Belgrade and PSG beats Liverpool, then Liverpool have to win by a two goal margin against us to go through. I take our chances. Liverpool are garbage. I said that from the day of the draw. They have no creativity in midfield and their strikers are fast but have no skill.
We need to focus and beat Belgrade and not care about the other game. Our mentality was bad in the past. Let’s just focus on our games.
Mixed feelings about this. Could have sealed qualification with a win. PL teams are over-rated, as they are exposed in Champions League while PSG is basically an oil club and all they do is pay top $$ to get players to play for them and still they cannot perform outside of their own backyard. I mean, Neymar's salary alone is like more than all our forwards combine and he has been a no show against us. And he is also a no-show at the WC2018. Over-rated drama queen.
Although he could've gone more attacking, you risk losing and that would put us in a really difficult position. We have head to head over PSG I'm pretty sure cuz of away goals no ?
Yes. We have better head to head against PSG. That is why if PSG draw Liverpool and we beat Belgrade we will go through. We also have a 1-0 over Liverpool meaning they either need to beat us 1-0 (not 2-1 or 3-2) to be equal in head to head but we will likely have better goal difference so they will be out. So they will have to win by two goals (this is assuming PSG beats them and we beat Belgrade).
I'll say still 50/50 with 2 more games to go even though we are level with Liverpool on points. We should not under-estimate red-star belgrade. Watching the match again, we really should have won it in the second half if not for Buffon pulling off a string of saves. What a keeper at the age of 40! While I hate Juventus, I still like and respect Buffon. He's a true legend of football.
Had we scored earlier the momentum would have changed. We only pushed forward when we had nothing to lose but sat back at 1-1 to get at least one point.
According to 538 Napoli 76% Liverpool 69% PSG 51% Red Star 4% It's broken down by this Napoli 30% chance for 1st 46% 2nd Liverpool 40% chance for 1st 29% 2nd PSG 29% chance for 1st 22% 2nd Red Star less than 1% chance for 1st 4% 2nd I'd rather just beat Red Star and have Liverpool win as well. Won't have to worry about matchday 6 then
You're not listening. I'm even giving a reason why we should've started attacking psg. They had no midfield. After they scored we attacked them and were all over them. I'm not saying attack for 90 mins. Don't make psg into something they're not
I think PSG are always sth and they've been steadily growing... I think they have shown against us that their individual quality is great, which means that they can be dangerous any second of the game, which in turn means that you have to be extremely wary of them throughout the match and that is not easy. Teams that scavenge the market and buy such great talents will always be dangerous, even if their midfield is not working properly.
I want PSG to win. I hate Liverpool as much as Juve and other than Chelsea I want all English clubs to lose. They are arrogant. We will easily win in Liverpool. They are garbage.
Sts I am no sure if you actually can exist because of the statements that you make. I don't understand two things, how can Liverpool deserve more dislike than PSG twats(especially for us, I mean, they took our biggest stars), and, how can anybody be certain about winning at the Anfield Road. I think everybody knows that English teams are as good at home as they are bad on their travels...
PSG is pleasing on the eye. Liverpool plays boring football. I dislike the PL and their arrogance. I hope all English clubs lose in Europe. Also it’s not like Liverpool and English clubs spend less. Both Manchester clubs have spent much more than PSG. Liverpool broke the keeper and defender transfer fees.
Well it is not my cup of tea as well, but you cannot generalize so much. After all, as Oscar Wilde said: "All generalizations are false, including this one." Not all English clubs are alike, just like you can't really compare Napoli and Juventus. And I am also sure the arrogance in PL is not uniform, and it is also not a special perquisite of the English to be uniformly arrogant...
The whole media is arrogant. In any case football is taste. I will watch PSG Liverpool and hope PSG wins.
