IMO I think it's a bit of an over statement still. We looked more cohesive and wanted more. If PSG have a higher level of fitness from a longer period of pre season, their quicker movements could definitely hurt us. But I do think our shape adjustment during defence and offence have been commendable. Long may this continue.
hey, why the big difference in our performance between today and Bayern?
Agreed. But watching Kudus, Spence and Bentancur, they will have to put in everything. The Bar has been set.We need a solid 20 player squad for all competitions (except for the League Cup, we can bin that one off.)
Just couldn't allow it to happen.My sincerest of apologies if this has already been said - we'd have been 4-0 down by now under Ange.

Well that was surprising after Bayen. Clear they were not allowed to show the set piece plans in friendlies. Free kicks from half way line put into box, long throws not seen since Chiver's day. Will 2nd half could be totally different but they cannot take away that half.
We'd be mugs to sit back, but Richarlison doesn't do 90 mins these days so fresh legs needed for sure.
He's a good battering ram.
It's always been about his touch. And his form.
Solanke hasn’t had a preseason.Think Solanke and at least one attacking change has to happen. Even if we don’t go away from the 5 defenders
Bayern was in a way the perfect game to have before this. A similar team to PSG in how they want to dominate and control. So it was a good test where they could see what works and what doesn't.Perhaps they didn't want to over work with today in mind .
Also Bayern are excellent and PSG are at the reading stage of their preparation
