    Maybe he won't, but he'd be a good option to start in midfield. Spoiling PSG-s midfield play is important, and two tough players do it better than one.

    Players who are good in possession and are brave on the ball are more important.. we have to play our own game and try and impose ourselves on PSG.

    Ajer wouldn't get near PSG in the midfield to break up the play. He's considered a CB by BR and the player himself so it's a pointless debate tbh as he won't start in defence or in the midfield..

    I think we will be looking for solidity and experience in our back line on Tuesday.

    I would go

    Lustig Jozo Tierney McGregor.

    I'm actually sickened by our defensive woes at the moment.

    Ah that's right, we let Izzy go. Quite a few of us thought that was a big mistake and it has perhaps showed.

    Anyone who can defend competently would have been a start and wouldn't have done any harm. You don't have to be a genius to see that we needed backup at CB knowing that Boyata and Sviatchenko were out. Now we're faced with playing players out of position.

    But sure, go ahead and be a condescending * about it.

    Any suggestions he will go with 3-5-2 that we played against Barca, Beer Sheva and away to Astana this season? we lost all three of those games coincidentally but he played it against Hamilton on Friday with Lustig, Simo and Tierney in defence. But perhaps that was just to get PSG thinking.

    No defenders. Let's just stick all of our midfielders on and have a go at 'em. :56:

    Ralston or Gamboa at rb lustig simunovic Tierney

    If we have no fit cbs I'd rather move lustig inside than risk ajer don't think he's ready to be thrown into this kind of game just yet

    That's a * defence but, KT isn't a natural CB and Izzy was past it and barely played.

    I don't think letting Izzy go was a big misstake. He obviously wasn't a first teamer anymore and he didn't want to be 2nd choice. I also believe that he was a bit passed it, the PSG attack would tear him to shreds.

    If Gamboa is fit he has to play IMO. Move Lustig in one.

    He has miles more experience than Ralston and is much faster. We need that pace badly against that frontline.

    This. We know lustig can play CB and Gamboa is more experienced. Like Ralston but this game is way to early for him

    I think we all know it's going to be
    Lustig Bitton Jozo Tierney

    I'd also like Lustig at CB but Rodgers seems to prefer Bitton there...

    This. It is a * no brainer. Neymar will rip Lustig to bits.
