I can only assume he turned in Steve Bruce levels of preparation because he couldn’t have selected a worse approach if he tried. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 yep the 4-2-4 seemed what you'd do against a team you expect to roll over, and I would think that would be a bit presumptuous against most teams that have qualified for the champions league tbh. Would expect that naivite more from a new coach like Howe than someone with his experience... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's won a champions league as manager, and I know Roberto Di Matteo has too but he is better than that. He maybe had a very beneficial setup at Barca, and wouldn't shock me if he could never quite replicate that he's no mug, but was strange. PSG are a clownshow who churn through good managers Edited October 4, 2023 by Tiresias Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he knows what to do with the PSG players, as I'm not sure the players there are suitable for his typical style of play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you start paying players obscene amounts of money like what Mbappe is on.. it can only ever lead to the opposite of what we have at our club. Zero togetherness. Enrique isn’t a shit manager but I don’t think he’s ever been the same since his kid died. Who would in fairness. He’s a classy bloke and was very respectful of us before and after the game.

The College Dropout Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 He won the CL and treble with a prime Neymar, Suarez and Messi. Iniesta, Xavi and a prime Rakitic behind them. That was a bit of a dream team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I said in the pre match thread. That midfield duo looked light. I knew that Zaire-Emery kid was a wonder kid and he played really well. But the 4 options weren’t intimidating. The most tactically astute managers have a Bruno plan. If they don’t, he’ll likely kill their team. And he killed PSG. He’s obviously played them before but he knew what it meant today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays with Bruno in mind the way nobody else does. He mentioned in the doc his job was to let Bruno play or something along those lines and it’s true.

sixx Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Even in the very tightest of spots I sigh a relief every time he receives the ball. Having that kind of a press resistant outlet is ridiculously valuable. I love his half turn and outside boot pass when he’s under pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I know this will get said every time he has a good game.. but the top teams wouldn't blink at £100m for this guy if he continues as he has since he stepped foot in the door. He is such a huge presence at this club. I really hope he stays for many many years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 The way he struck the ball with his right foot was pure arrogance for the second goal and then a second later, pure elegance with a little chipped in cross with his left foot. Best midfielder I've seen play for this club. Without a doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Great game from him and suicidal from PSG to not engage our mids. Fantastic work from Bruno for both first half goals. For the headed interception that set up our first, Bruno was 25 yards from their goal, almost right on their D. Longstaff scored from a run deep into the right halfspace. I know they are useful shorthand for other teams' tactics, but the terms "#6" and "#8" mean very little for how we actually play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's us or Real Madrid and fair enough. Wouldn't stop him and would just enjoy watching RM. Him and Bellingham eventually.... wowzas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 We started nervously first few minutes and couldn't string two passes together. It wasn't until Bruno and Schar showed some composure with the ball and then got the others into the game. The rest is history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Back to his best. Maybe PSG seemingly not having a plan to nullify him enabled him to influence the game in the way he consistently did in his first thirty games (or so) with us. Ignore at your peril.
