I dont think our approach is wrong..we cant play open with PSG's front 3..

If we attack we will be exposed at the back, and PSG will have more chances.

I think we tried to attack but pivot is malfunction, trident not so good.

I dont blame JM's approach for this game..cuz this just the first leg, we still need to play the 2nd leg..nothing is certain at this point..more goal will help..sure no doubt about it.

this is typical JM tactic, not to lose in away game and win at home....
1-1 now, psg gonna play offensive at sb, that's may open the gap for us

Matic and fab combo are the best. Fab so isolated when play as no 10 role because he rarely get the ball.

We lead 1 goal and we know PSG will attack but we keep defend and defend instead to find another goals. Really unhappy.

Jose should throw away this kind of mentality. How long we can rely to win at our home ground instead to get job done away. PSG losing 2 goals lead last games plus 4 injury to their players. We have better preparation and injury free.

Hmmm

Approach is not wrong because we draw 1-1. If PSG converted all their chances, im sure it become headlines tomorrow.

later PSG pull an atletico madrid, everyone will blame our approach for this game.

the thing is we can and very capable of moving the ball and keeping possession. this game we just play like malaysia national team. kick the ball as far as possible with no direction. should have play a more aggressive and attacking game. press as high as possible like we always do.

my rating for tonight match:
tibo 9 great performance to deny 4, 5 goalbound shot.
iva 7.5 did good on the right, great goal
cahill 6 a bit slow in both pace and reaction. great flick for the goal. poor judgement lead to the goal.
terry 6 a decent game.
dave 6.5 an ok game for dave. did some error few times.
matic 7.5 good strong performance as usual.
rami 6.5 ok performance in defence. no contribution going forward
willian 6 sub par performance. cant even dribble past defender once.
fab 6 another sub par performance behind the striker. mou need to know that fab play best alongside matic.
hazard 7 decent performance. foul magnet. cant do much since we opt for a defensive play
costa 6 poor. long rest affect his performance maybe.

cuadrado 6 sub par.
oscar - too little time to judge.

Imo, our leaking backline force mou to go for defensive approach.
I really hope mou give more chances to zouma instead of cahill.
Courtois really show what he can do tonight.
I also notice we are loosing physical presence in the pivot.
2nd wont be easy.

Our loophole very obvious...keep pressure Cahill and make him panic. Once he panic, he make mistakes...

Yup, I think time running out on cahill as well.

I blame the pivot hahaha not enough cover for back 4 especially with Cahill, terribly off..and agree with some of you..I dont like Cesc as AM..he clearly a better CM now..let Oscar play there..cuz Rami is a passenger today..

Cahill should be benched... Give zouma start.... More pace and at least for me make the right decision when start...

My reaction to cavani free header goal

cute david luiz

it seems like i not the only one react furiously at our back 4. We doing good in 1st half although there quite a number of suppose to be foul on hazard but ref deny it.home advantage,what to do.

2nd half,back four leaking a lot.zouma will start for sure on 2nd leg. Tibo was really awesome!doing great job and I agree if it wasn't for tibo great performance,we might concede a lot more goal.

On attacking side,seems to be quiet and i dont like the idea placing fab at AM but I think mou used remi and willian in this game because he want these 2 to help back 4 when needed.still not a good idea to me.

Overall was an OK performance.draw is a good result for away game.

Iinm this is 1st time cavani scored against us in a psg shirt...

This is Champions league knock out stage, playing away to PSG ground where even mighty Barca also lose there. Despite missing some good players, still a decent squad.

What option do we have to put as a striker? off-pace Drogba, Remy or over-rested goalscoring Costa? no brainer of course JM want to get Costa regain match fitness asap.

I take away goal and a draw any day in any given away European knockout matches. The magic European night always happen in 2nd leg.

Actually with the way our def play last night, 1-1 is a good draw. Azp got passed by a few times, Cahill really cannot be trusted to protect the box, and that Cavani header was a free gift.
