Well, last night seemed bad, I think and what the majority will feel was the issue was that our game suffered because of two early injuries and that too, to players who play a major role in pressing the ball. We were a menace when they tried to play out the back and in the early stages, especially with Martial and Lingard, we were closing down in the right areas and zones.
I think we made a few individual errors that proved to be costly, Matic ball watching for the first goal and then Pogba lost the ball on the far side of the pitch that led to the second goal.

I think the stark difference in yesterday’s game, unlike all the other games that we’ve played was that we failed to create good chances for our attackers to do something. The one Pogba run seemed very promising, but apart from that, we surely didn’t trouble them much. On a side note, I think Pogba yesterday was nullified by PSG, and he didn’t really see much of the ball, but I’m sure these players know how to counter a man-marking move, just surprised, Pogba couldn’t do it.

Few instances of the game which daft, was when Young was crossing the ball quite often, we didn’t have a Lukaku to head them in or bring others to the game with that, Mata by no means will win headers against a very physical PSG defence.

Most of the arguments are circling around Kimpembe not being sent off. I think the ref got it wrong, more importantly, I think the ref got the match totally wrong. He was too hasty in shelling out cards and wasn’t consistent in doing the same.

Tactically, I think PSG played well, they had a three man defence and the wingbacks stretched the field completely, always being an option in case needed. Veratti was good, he showed calmness on the ball and was always able to find a player in white. But, saying that Ole was out of depth is a bit of a stretch. I’m pretty sure he didn’t want to use the subs so early in the game, and that kind of forced his hand for the remainder of the game. I still back him, and I still feel we should not make a knee-jerk reaction, whether it’s keeping him or not.

Sanchez, for all the admiration I have for him, has turned out to be shadow of prior self, I don’t know what’s wrong with him, he doesn’t seem to enjoy the game, doesn’t seem to like what he’s doing. I think Ole is right, it’s down to him, if he can raise his game or not. If not, then the best bet will be sell him off, might not get a lot of money, but I’d rather go for another LW, if needed.

I’m still looking forward to the second leg and although we are without Pogba, we are still Manchester United.

We got out classed in the middle.

We didn't keep the ball and we were way to slow.


Just gives us an idea of where we are at compared to the very best teams.

Although psg had some good attacks we made them look way above how good they are with both neymar and Cavani not playing.


We learn and move on. Try get top 4 maybe a fa cup win would be nice and improve in the summer and go again

Let's not over react to 1 loss against the better team.

Since u mention Verratti, I will add what pissed me off the most was his willingness to fall with the least contact and the poor ref buying the 'dives'. Maybe that was an Italian connection.
