[Albion] Champions League 23/24 Thread

[Berty23]

PSG not scoring tonight. Between them Milan and PSG have had about 50 shots vs Newcastle in the home matches but finished like absolute clowns. 7 big chances missed. Couple of great saves.

The narrative will be how amazing Newcastle have been but completely outplayed twice but awful finishing. Plus their one meaningful attack Donnaruma threw one to Izak with inexplicable attempt at save. Either catch or push wide.

Saudi beats Qatar.

Gutted we didn’t get livramento when we wanted him. He is going to be some player.

Why don't PSG want to score? They seem to be doing everything to avoid it. If there's not a newcastle player they can kick it at, they just kick it off target. It's bizarre. You'd think they'd want to do a goal.

The commentators are raving about Newcastle. I can't understand it. They play absolutely rubbish and unattractive football. They are awful to watch and deserve nothing.

Just flashed up that PSG have had 23 attempts!

City come from two down to lead 3/2

I'm going out on a limb here, but PSG are shite. Living on past reputations, offering precious little going forward. NUFC will win this.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

PSG have accumulated 3.09 xG. That’s ridiculous.

Large parts of the first half they were playing some great stuff.

PSG switched it up and have been making more use of the wings to great success and should now be winning, but for awful finishing.

Scored more than us in the league (and conceded far fewer) - considering we've scored a fair few, they can't play too bad-a football to have scored more than us!

You always knew it would happen.

Whoever came up with that stat hasn't been watching the game. Very few clear chances.

 

[Grizz]

I don't like what Newcastle stand for either, but they've done a cracking job here so far. Utterly disciplined in the face of an onslaught. Yeah PSG should've scored a couple of times, Newcastle have ridden their luck big time, but with no real subs available these eleven have stood up magnificently.

Well I have not watched a massive amount of games and those that I have watched, Newcastle have looked poor. Maybe I just don't like their 'style'.

So dull. Is it written in CL rules that Man city always have an incredibly dull/easy group? I swear they always have a piss-easy incredibly boring group. Never end up watching any of their group games!

I only had half an eye on the first half so fair enough!

 

[Flounce]

PSG’s long range shooting has been pub team level, unbelievably shit

 

[Milano]

That Barcelo for PSG is shite
I’ve never really ‘got it’ with Dembele either.
This is Smuggy back to his MO, stick 11 behind the ball, time waste, spoil.

 

[Acker79]

They won't score this penalty.


EDIT: Or they will. Then follow up with a good chance to win which will be headed wildly over the bar by someone who hasn't met a goal scoring opportunity he doesn't want to waste.

Bad news for us if PSG drop down to the Europa League
