Matchday thread for the Champions League Match vs PSG from Stamford Bridge.

Why?

Tie is over, and if he starts Jorgesen they will hit the double figures on aggregate.

Could be our last Champions League game until 2027, or longer.

Well.

We have amazing young players. Amazing. Even Gusto.

What we do not have is any experience or game management - manager, players, sporting directors. . .nothing.

players with experience who did well - James, Cucurella, Fernadez, Jow Pedro, Palmer. . .the manager? puh-lease he is aa nice kid, but he should be managing. . . Strasbourg

It would be nice to think we could really have a go at PSG second leg, score early and put them under pressure. At the moment feels unlikely though. The 3-0 win against Barcelona feels like a long time ago.

Winning 4-0 is an almost impossibility unless the PSG players all got terrible food poisoning the day before the game

Just keep it respectable

Can't we just forfeit the match and let our players take another nice short break in let's say Dubai?

Need to take care of Newcastle first and bring a good energy into this match. We can make this interesting by scoring inside the first 20 minutes and from there is game on.

No Val, they should be hosting Lego competitions

🤔 Surely you don't want to unleash them into society?

Better they sit in a padded room at home building this (alternatively I will retreat to a padded room):

If we sign Dynamo, David Blane, David Copperfield and Paul Daniels we might go through!

Well, PSG have folded before in the Round of 16 stage after winning the first leg convincingly. Famously lost the second leg 6-1 to Barcelona in 2017 to wipe out the advantage of a 4-0 win in the first leg.

Probably too much to hope that lightning might strike twice ... Palmer/Joao Pedro/Neto/Enzo aren't exactly Messi/Neymar/Suarez/Iniesta !

I will join you

With our defence we need to score about 8 goals to have a chance of progressing.

Travelling back to the Bridge on Tuesday, yay!

We looked flat today so it doesn't bode well going into another game against the European Champions. Could easily ship another 5.

I fear another Bayern 2020 drubbing

PSG league game is forfeited this weekend again.

Don’t get me wrong, I really cannot see us going through. But we SHOULD kick up a massive fuss about that. It gives PSG a really unfair advantage over us.

If it can happen to PSG, why won’t FA do us a similar favour?

We'll go out, but at least let's go out fighting. Will players know what that is, I wonder.

For sure. We are pretty adept at picking up reds right? Oh wait. That isn't what you meant ;)

I'm counting on some good old-fashioned flying, studs up tackles

Not forfeited, the game was moved. It doesn’t happen in the PL because Sky oppose it.

Hospitality tickets are available in many areas ( Captains Bar only one listed as sold out ). Not going so well for Blue Co. Emailing every man and his dog of this exclusive opportunity.

That 5-2 debacle last week is hurting Blue Co.'s pockets.
