We've come a long way in last 7/8 weeks but this was a step too far in the end. They were very classy on the ball and showed their superior experience. I'd go as far to say as they are probably the best side we've faced since playing City away. Very very good technically and tactically. It will take a good side to stop them, especially when they get Cavani n Neymar back too. Tonight they looked like a team determined to end their CL knockout hoodoo and we got the brunt of it. No grumbles. They are better than us.
Says a lot about how far we've come under Ole though that we've got so disappointed at being beaten by one of the best sides in Europe. 8 weeks ago we were getting shown up against likes of Brighton, Westham etc.
Dose of reality but I'm very happy with Ole at the wheel. We just came up against a better team than us tonight.
Can't fault the effort but outclassed

Do you think boring one would've got a result tonight? His sort of game this- I am actually being serious no sarcasm

No. But even if he did he wouldn't have won 9 and drawn 1 of the last 10 would he?
Jose being gone is still great news for me. Made my Christmas. He was killing this club.

I think he might well have. That’s not to say I think he should still be at the club. But I think he would have gotten a draw tonight.

But we'd be no where near top 4 in the league.

lol Mourinho got outclassed by Sevilla and then called about there great european heritage yet were easily knocked out by relegation threatened Leicester City the season before. This Sevilla team lost about 10 games I guess when we played them lol.

I agree, Eric. Probably lost a couple of those but beat PSG. The result against Juventus was a beautiful night ha

Indeed. But there’s still doubts about whether Ole is the right guy too. The next few weeks will be key.

People keep saying outclassed but its schoolboy defending that got them 2 goals. You would concede those 2 goals to conference sides if you don't do the basics. Bailly and Matic decided not to do there job and they scored 2 simple goals.

PSG had one of the lowest shots against us this season. PSG had 12 shots. Fulham had 15 shots. Leicester City had 17 shots. Even Reading had 13 shots to our 8 at OT. They are easily beatable.

You need to create chances yourself to beat them though, and I don't remember Buffon being worked that hard

Shame about the result but as you say, outclassed in the end.
Main comments for me would be:
- You cannot play Ashley Young, an ageing left winger, at right back and expect Di Maria not to hurt you.
- The squad is still developing fitness. Errors and tiredness were becoming clear at 30 mins, so it wasn't surprising to see a couple of injuries and those injuries were a real problem for us. The high energy game was great to see but there was no way we could keep it up against PSG for 90 mins.
- The referee was ridiculous. It was a decent game, fast paced and relatively good spirit yet he found 10 yellow card offences? Do me a favour. Didn't affect the result but annoying to watch.
- Mbappe is absolutely lightning. Top quality.
