So. PSG then. They looked scary against Villa in Paris.

But almost blew it in Birmingham.

We're gonna get gubbed :-(

At least we won't get knocked out by Villa, that would have been properly ****

That's a good point p.

Imagine... just imagine if we win the champions league, beating Real Madrid, PSG and Barcelona... all without an actual centre forward :hehe:

reg will have a breakdown.

Not at all. We've got plenty of centre forwards; just none of them are good enough, fit enough or indeed, actual centre forward enough :-\

My fear is Wigwam's injury.

Before Gabby got injured, I thought we'd have a chance with our two CFs out given how well we defend. Then we lost our two LCHs and I thought we're gonna get gubbed but Yakob stepped up and looked like Stevie Bould and Boom-boom Keown.

But now we have Jorgy injured and Wigwam suspended so that's both DMs out. {At least Wigwam will be back for the away leg.}

I guess the only options are Benny Blanc at DM, or Dec there with MnM at inside left and Leo up top. {If Cala was fit we could try MLS at DM.}

If MnM did drop back to MF, he's full of confidence now. It's not like when he was trying to fight his way into the team after the pre-season injury. The fans love him, we know he can do the tackling and aerial duels. Those two assists last night were gorgeous, just what we'd want from an inside left. And he knows he can score now. Those first two goals he scored as a CF coming off the bench were the type of goals a MF scores arriving late in the box. And he'd be in the right place to get back post headers from a B cross.

Merino in midfield and trossard up front is the most likely solution. Unless jorginho is fit.

The other options are a bit too funky for such a big game.

g, I’m sure your post is extremely enlightening, but the mixture of bizarre nicknames and abbreviations has rendered it utterly incomprehensible. I’m off for a lie down.

Just read that they may go with JT at DM with Benny Blanc at RB. Jurrien's such a complete footballer, he could do that. He inverts into MF from either FB position anyway, he can defend as a CH and knows the back line, and on the right side of DM with MLS inverting on the left, he can still link up with B and Odin {and Benny.}

It might just work.

I do wish we could keep Wigwam for another year but I'm sure he'll go for the big payday. His old club want him back, apparently.

Hope Sir C's still lying down so he doesn't see all my nicknames and abbreviations. Would hate to give the poor chap a heart attack now we've got a CL semi to look forward to. And think of the horses and his glw.

If I was Arteta, I'd find a way to convince Partey to give us one more year. I'd even give him two if he wanted it. He's huge for us.

I want Timber to stay where he is. He's ****ing murdering it at right back. No way I'd consider moving him.
