PSG vs Aston Villa - CL QF 1st leg - pre match thread

[ChicagoLion]

That looks too obvious to me, have a feeling he'll have something up his sleeve for tonight.

I reckon I could pick 7 starters
EMI Konsa Digne Kamara Tielemans SJM Rogers.
After that I have no idea.

[Brazilian Villain]

Hopefully tonight is the time we make people sit up & look at us. I don't want the FA Cup over the Champions League, I want them both.

With Emery in charge, anything is possible.

Everyone outside B6 expects them to win comfortably, so in a way it's a free hit. If we knock PSG out, then people will definitely sit up and take notice.

As an aside, last night we were 7/1 to win with PP, now we're 9/2. That's quite a movement in a few hours.

[Richard]

Just going on some of the starters and non-starters Saturday.

Emi
Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne.

Kamara, McGinn, Tielemans

Rogers, Rashford, Ramsey.

Yeah this looks probable with bench:

Olsen
Zych
Disasi
Mings
Maatsen
Bogarde
Onana
Barkley
Asensio
Watkins

[Drummond]

            Martinez
Konsa   Disasi   Torres   Digne
       Kamara   Tielemans
Rogers   Asensio    Ramsey
            Watkins

[stevo_st]

            Martinez
Konsa   Disasi   Torres   Digne
       Kamara   Tielemans
Rogers   Asensio    Ramsey
            Watkins

I think it will be this, but with Disasi at RB

[OCD]

If Disasi plays, he'll be right back with Konsa in the centre. Which I'd rather we did than play Cash. I think the main question mark is Watkins or Rashford.

[Brazilian Villain]

If Disasi plays, he'll be right back with Konsa in the centre. Which I'd rather we did than play Cash.

Same here. After watching the first 20 mins away to Brugge, I'm not sure I'd want him there against PSG.

[Sexual Ealing]

Cash should be nowhere near starting this game.

[Villa Lew]

2-0

I agree Legion I'm going 2 nil PSG, but won't be agreeing with you on your 2nd leg prediction, as I reckon we will make a sensational comeback, 2 nil after 120 mins and we win on pens 20-19 in one of the greatest nights in VP history.

[JUAN PABLO]

Team arrival…..it seems our French players have some fans.

With the keepers in both goals, it could be pens 2-1 rather then 20-19.

It's going to be a good test of how good we really are with a near full squad full of confidence.

[London Villan]

Mentioned this earlier - but have we played in a more high-profile game in the last 40 years? Maybe the FA Cup finals at a push?

On a global level - nope.

I can't recall  too many Leeds specifics - Bielsa Media Love-n over the last 30 years other than them getting to Champions League Semi Final.

I started going down the year after the Juve game, that was the last time we were at this level till now, it's the biggest game for me.
