Di Marzio latest prediction, so definitely not this

(4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Gatti, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Nico Gonzalez, Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Vlahovic
Not a fan of Yildiz on the flanks. Would rather see a proper winger and him playing more central. Not sure where that would place Koop though.

Nico gotta step up here and Dusan better not waste more chances or we’re screwed. Guess a draw wouldn’t be so bad.

Still works for him though, i feel like he hasnt been in form anymore lately though. Last season Bakayoko was great with his crosses and cutting into the box.

We have to play attacking for sure. We can't sit back against PSV. Their games this season so far have been 5-1, 3-1, 7-1, 3-0 and 2-0. They will punish it if they arent too nervous in the first CL game of the season.
We just need to overclass them especially at home and i do believe this team can be great in attack, especially if Koopmeiners gets more into it. If only Dusan will finish it off effectively.

And like Peter said earlier, gotta be careful for Luuk de Jong headers..
Completely agree. I think in this case the best way to defend against PSV is to attack.
Get Luuk de Jong away from our goal, hopefully don't conceed corners and hopefully they get booked early on

Draw in any home game except vs Man City would be bad in this manageable group. Need to maximise home advantage.

I agree but given where we are a draw wouldn’t be the end of the world. This is only the second ever game with this predicted line up. It’s paramount that players perform to the best of their abilities though, we need to see some improvements from the last two matches.

So first game of the CL and the starter is non other than a reject we couldnt sell so we reintegrated him? What happened to Fagioli Thuram and D.Luiz or we already decided that the disappointing start means he is a flop.

I dont like Yildiz on the left to be honest. I like when he drifts there from time to time but I like him mainly at a more central position. Maybe we should play Mangbula instead of McK and place Koop alongside Locatelli.

Thuram probably is not fit enough, and McKennie was probably the closest (!) in characteristics to him.

Jesus Christ going into a CL game with Locatelli & Mckennie as the 2 mids and one of the most unimpressive full back pairs you'll see in a top 8 league

How did we let ourselves go man for man worse in every single position over the last 10 years. You'd think we got force relegated again.
