Ed, is there a chance of Boyata starting tomorrow night. Will he be risked having not played any game time or are you aware of him being played in any development games or closed door games this last week or 2. If fit i'd risk him his presence attacking and defending corners or freekicks could be crucial. I really rate him and he has done nothing in the 6 months prior to injury to warrent being called a bombscare. He was one of our stand out players and I think Jozo will be glad to have him back in. I'd go with
Gordon
Lustig Boyata Simunovic Tierney
Roberts Ntcham Brown Rogic Sinclair
Griffiths.
{Ed007's Note - Boyata's been training for a few weeks now but whether Rodgers will start him is anyone's guess just now. If he doesn't start I think we'll go with 3 at the back rather than pitch young Ajer in at the deep end or risking playing Bitton.}

Cheers Ed, big decisions. Took me long enough to decide whether to choose Rogic Armstrong or McGregor, In fairness i'd be happy with any of the 3 starting. Whoever starts we have a very strong bench.
{Ed007's Note - What about this.....

3 at the back against that strike force makes me shudder ED! It maybe ok against the SPL dross but not against a team of this quality. i just hope Brendan's got at least one fit centre half to play next to jozo! If he puts bitton in there I honestly don't think I could watch it! Lol.
11 Sep 2017 12:19:14
I would go with Ed'd team. What's the point having a four if the player to skit is isn't good enough as is the case.?
Won't happen though,
11 Sep 2017 12:22:40
I read on here that he had been back in full training, but the international break and our next game being on a plastic pitch was bad luck in his recovery.
It's a tall order coming back in such a high profile game with so many talented opponents, so maybe too risky?
I just hope Biton is nowhere near the back four as even though he is good on the ball - he lacks strength in the tackle and power in the air, not to mention positional play.
11 Sep 2017 13:19:37
I think itll be 3 at the back with possibly florrist and miller at wb. Protecting tierney and lustig. And Robert's sinclair tucking in to middle when we lose the ball.
Gordan.

Brown---ntcham

I think he will give Ralston the break and put him in the team will be Gordon Ralston jozo Lustig Tierney Brown Ntcham Armstrong Paddy Sinclair Griff.

Think boyata would need games before playing against that opposition but you never know.
11 Sep 2017 14:22:37
Can't go with a three against them. Neymar will have far to much room when he drifts out left.
11 Sep 2017 13:36:51
Roberts as a wing back down that right side would leave us very exposed Ed. Definitely need brown or Armstrong to help cover.
11 Sep 2017 13:50:08
Well Ed, That is ballsy if a do say so myself with three at the back
But heh if we ain't got a match fit other CB, fook it, let's go for it like your team selection big roaring crowd behind us
So yeah go with a system we can play with eleven match fit players rather than the alternative (Y)
{Ed007's Note - Fight fire with fire mate. PSG aren't the best when it comes to the defensive game so at home let's give them something to think about. Brown, Ntcham and Arsmstrong are all strong, physical players with a bit of aggression about them who can do a turn when we're defending and harass their midfield.}
11 Sep 2017 18:26:26
I could be entirely wrong, could start all my posts with that.
Barca last year were a team full of great players, quick thinkers and bags of talent. I think PSG have a decent defence, decent midfield and amazing strikeforce - we just have to TRY to limit the strikers involvement - need to stop the service. easy eh?
12 Sep 2017 13:42:41
I'd prefer it if we were going with
Boruc
Agathe Stubbs Elliot Tierney
Roberts Lambert McStay Petrov Moravcik
Larsson.
