    Roberts
    I thought Roberts was caught in possesion to many times tonight holding onto it to long ,hardly his fault as he had no one to pass too ,midfield taking to long to support in the first half .
    Better second half ,broony was by far our best ,experience everything at this level and our problem lies in not being able to keep players to build that experience .
    This competition has moved in the direction of the rich elite clubs backed by huge finances , there is no fair play ,we are being squeezed into the Europa with your ajax's and benfica'a and it's a shame for the sport.

    There is a reason this team beat BARCALONA 4-0 and thats before spending £400m.

    PSG pumped Barca last season with a worse team than they fielded tonight.
    Neymar is a *.
    We are never gonna compete with the elite teams again, those days are long gone.
    We are a small team with a big heart.
    Uefa are * for allowing the money to become the main point of they're comps.. totally * ruined the European cup/Champions league .
    Time for the big 5 or 6 leagues to * off and do their own thing and the rest of European football to do theirs.

    We're stuck between getting the £30m and a chance of maybe nicking 3rd and getting into the europa, or just going straight into that comp which is a more realistic level for a team with our budget !! We could compete in the europa but coming up against these teams is a huge ask especially when we have little competition wk in wk out to ready ourselves , to go from Hamilton to psg shows how big a task we have!!

    No hassle bro. Both Henriks headers were better ;)

    It's not a sign of weakness to appreciate the brilliance of an opponent. It's a sign of weakness not to learn. We will do better in Paris.

    Pants pulled down. Arses felt. Totally and utterly outclassed and embarrassed on our own patch.

    I get that the Champions League is financially important for us as a club but this is why I personally could live without it. We are totally out of our depth at this level. * all this 'aw but it'll be great to see the world's most expensive player at Parkhead' bollocks. There was absolutely zilch enjoyable about watching that tonight.

    Nailed it there, money should not be the issue, I always believed football should be a level playing field but we will probably never see that again.

    We could have paid fees for the likes of Roberts, Edouard and £5mill on CB sure, wouldn't change the players we just came up against.

    They are on another level because of their money and showed.

    We could have spent every single penny of the group stage money and these result would have still happened, it's how it is at this level, ffs just last season psg beat Barca what? 4-0? and still didn't qualify for the next round that's how good teams are at this level and simply do not have resources to compete with that no matter what people might think about what spend or not.

    What does the FFP actually mean? I'm honestly not too sure. Does it just mean a club cant spend what its not brining in in Revenue in the past three seasons? Does revenue included investments by the chairman etc?

    Wow thought PSG were sensational at times with Morata and Verati superb.

    Disappointed with Armstrong and Ntcham tonight, both know they can do much better. Maybe McGregor would have been a better choice to keep possession and give the team a few seconds break at times.

    As put earlier it's a good lesson for our younger players to compete against that standard of quality, and demonstrates how much further several players need to continue developing. The way they played out of there area when under pressure during the first half was exceptional.

    Champions league football is technically demanding with every possible weakness exposed. Learn and move on.
