    We gave them too much respect tho and sat off them, starstruck, in the first half.. whether it was formation or attitude it wasn't us in the first half... it was weird to see..

    Mate, I think the likes of even Jock Stein/Ferguson etc and all other time greatest managers could have been sitting in Brendan's seat tonight thinking how the * they were going to change the tide of the game.

    Formation was weird.

    Rather than just Broony and Ntcham sitting, Armstrong was in there too, it was like we had no space to make our way up the park and the usual passes weren't on. I think the guys looked uncomfortable in there. Certainly Ntcham didn't seem to get on the ball as much.

    Mind you, have to give credit to them (PSG) of course. Incredible midfield.

    I was hoping Silva wouldn't of been back. That guy cruised it..

    They have frightening pace up top..

    The midfield is as good as anywhere. Rabiot is too much. Verratti is one of the world's best, arguably the best centre mid with the likes of Vidal, Kroos etc..

    Think we've seen the group toppers. They'll do Bayern in my opinion, who are more vulnerable at the back..

    Just shows how much money has * the game when we're talking about 2 of the best manager's that have ever lived, being powerless to stop what we came up against tonight..

    Frustrating as * but how it is..

    Sickener of a group when it came out. Just hope to * we can go and hopefully get a win in Brussels next, or at the very least get a draw..

    Aye, Bayern aren't as good as them, they are slower, they are happier to keep possession and they aren't as strong in the wide areas. I don't think Bayern will pump us when they come here, think that will be moe like the Man City game or that but I did really expect PSG to come and pump us with a record score as they are just that dangerous a team up front.

    Yep, Bayern still could but they are a lot more possession based for possession sake where as Psg were looking to break everytime they had the ball with purpose after a couple of passes..

    The game has always been about the money mate, the best teams have always went out and spent obscene amounts to get the best players.

    Just so happens that in today's world, the money being spent to get the best players is insanely obscene.

    Top players just use the ball so much better, and it conserves so much energy doing that they look like they play at 50 % most of the time.while were knocking our pan in trying to chase it about.by the time we get it and mount an attack we dont have the legs to create quality.thats what 700 million of a difference gets tou right enough lol.

    Aye I know but it's went from the strip up to the stratosphere spinning around outta control..

    The money has left us, but instead of still being able to attract a certain calibre of player, we're even worse off spending wise..

    It just where Scottish football is at mate, when the money received from getting into the CL which seems like winning the lottery for us, would only buy one of Edinson Cavani's boots...

    Got a roasting tonight but also made a great run showing ability. To be fair to the lad, it must be an extremely difficult shift playing behind Roberts.
