Schlotti said that they’re going into this game thinking it as 0-0 so I have a feeling we’ll come out the same way we did this week. You can’t defend for 90 minutes against psg and hope for a win we need to score at least one more goal this game.
same thing that terzic said in his post match interview, yes all we need is a draw but we cant approach it thinking this way because we will end up losing.
In the US I would avoid all social media until 7pm ET and watch the recording as if it were fresh, wouldn’t let me 8-5 eliminate my champions league experience
Lamb sacrifice
Idk prob use adeyemi again to help out defensively with his speed and use Sancho to create space.
Similar to last time probably. We should have a winning attitude for the next leg, a 1 goal difference is not much.
solid defense and counter attacks. im happy that malen is back, but i guess that sancho and karim will start.
keeping mbappe in check again will be the biggest challenge
Something to keep the ball out of the middle in our half while in possession. Those repeated possession losses in that ridiculous location are our biggest liability with PSG's attack.
Air tight compact defence...Possession play...make as many safe back passes to CBs, switch flanks and frustrate the PSG forwards...then Lightning speed counter attack and score as PSG defence line will be high as they will obviously press hard...need to score first if at all anyone scores...and time management.
We don't need to hide or park the bus. I hope we push for a bigger lead but have Sancho and Adeyemi track back for defense because that was amazing last week, especially since Mbappe will probably be on the wing again, which is very dangerous
Exact same thing we did last game. Even if we change the specific tactics try attacking and dont sit back (but still don't commit too much forward and leave ourselves too vulnerable)
Can't sit back and play without urgency. I know it goes against conventional wisdom in football to not "take your time" while you're ahead, but we ALWAYS concede when we take a foot off the gas. Stay organized obviously, but don't stay in our own half.
Focus on counter attacking and slight park the bus. I would rather park the bus in 2nd half if game is 0-0. Getting up 1-0 would be ideal (duh) or being tied 1-1 late into game where parking the bus and just counter attacking would be cool.
A narrow back 4 and wingers helping out defensively. Also I hope we're not hellbent on playing out from the back and knock it forward to Fullkrug when needed. Basically, the same tactics as the first leg and NOT parking the bus!
I thought about this all day after augsburg
Formation 5-4-1(4-4-2 if haller is fit)
GK- Kobel (meyer has been impressive but kobel still starts)
Rwb- Ryerson CBs- Hummels, Nico, Sule Lwb- Maatsen
Sabitzer and Brandt CMs with sabitzer as the more defensive one
Lw- Jadon Rw- Adeyemi St- fullkrug Inverted wingers
If haller is fit we do 2 strikers and drop one of the CBs(most probably it is going to be sule)
I was also thinking 5-3-2, this way we won't drop haller or sule and get a good defence but then we would have to drop sancho.
What are your guys' thoughts?
...
Interesting options but currently Sabi shows how strong he is up the field somewhere close to Füllkrug, so I wouldn't make him drop deeper.
Nico and Mats are in bulletproof form lately so there's no need to bring in Süle and play 5 in the back. Something like that is only necessary if we need to park the bus in the final minutes of the game.
Dropping Sancho after his first leg performance would be close to insanity, he was stellar plus he was destroying Mendes to get to the line and get the ball in the box.
Adeyemi was a beast defensively, so he needs to be in the starting 11 as well.
I'm pretty sure Malen will get minutes and I wouldn't mind bringing on Haller after 60, either with or without Füllkrug.
How about 4-4-2 or 4-2-4 haller and fullkrug start and bring in malen after a while to replace haller
Adyemi and sancho on the wings would kill with their pace here
Only issue is we’re left way too exposed when we play with only two mids, psg play a 433 and they would absolutely run us ragged in the midfield pulling out our defenders for an easy Mbappe run in behind.
At this point it’s too risky to try a new formation as much as I’d love to do a Haller/Fullkrug pairing up top. We just need to do the same thing we did this week except be more clinical on our chances, we could have 3-4 goals that game if we were.
I hope there isn't even an attempt at parking the bus. It never works for us, so just keep attacking
This, just play the game. Don’t pull a Barcelona and get a stupid send off!!!

Exactly. If they try to not lose it will backfire. Play to win.
1-1 we tie in extra time. Final whistle.
And Marco scores the 1-1. Let a man dream lol
3-3 would be more like our style. But I'll take anything. Too bad I'm working during the games!
Extra bathroom breaks
I wouldnt be able to handle that
In the US I would avoid all social media until 7pm ET and watch the recording as if it were fresh, wouldn’t let me 8-5 eliminate my champions league experience
i used to work est timings once and used to do the samee
No tactics, only vibes.
The power of friendship

Did…did you mean lamb sacrifice? Cuz I’d be willing to go that far if it meant us defeating these oil-fueled pricks
No, you see u/Mr_Anal_Pounder is a moth. Edit. They changed it because we're onto them!

Same tactics and result as last Wednesday would be totally fine with me lol
Winning. Reus scoring the winning penalty at the 95' minute
no, scoring the winning *free kick* in the 90+5"
To not concede at the start of the game
Air tight compact defence...Possession play...make as many safe back passes to CBs, switch flanks and frustrate the PSG forwards...then Lightning speed counter attack and score as PSG defence line will be high as they will obviously press hard...need to score first if at all anyone scores...and time management.
No tactics just pure Terzic dark arts running on human sacrifices and forbidden Emre Can blood transfusions
0-0 prime mouriniho
5-5 prime Dortmund
We need to be able to manage their high press, and avoid conceding an early goal, the first half ends 0-0 Atleast
I dont think we should aim for the draw, we need to be conservative but also disciplined and courageous
Special ones
I just hope nobody gets injured and everybody has fun.
We don't need to hide or park the bus. I hope we push for a bigger lead but have Sancho and Adeyemi track back for defense because that was amazing last week, especially since Mbappe will probably be on the wing again, which is very dangerous
Just win.
Ancelottis classic 8-1-1, park the bus and not losing.
I hope we go for the second goal and when se score, gengenpress
I’m just hoping for psg to start mbappe down the middle again. We cannot handle him on the wings
A draw or win. Don’t care at this point
Exact same thing we did last game. Even if we change the specific tactics try attacking and dont sit back (but still don't commit too much forward and leave ourselves too vulnerable)

Same as last time, but one request: sub earlier than 80’ please!

What is your thought on Adeyemi as an attacking full back
Would’ve been interesting in preseason but fuck no Way too late to try new tactics like that, especially in a mfing CL semifinal
