Didn't see the game yesterday, so can't comment. Were we really that poor ?
Watching United v Liverpool at the moment, it's hard to believe this Man Utd team can be third in the table, still hopeless in defence. Only two teams in the Premiership race, perhaps that's the problem ? You won't need to be great to win it this season, and we have been over-hyped ?
Neville had it right, these two teams are poor. We should have beaten United when we played them.

Yes, good finishing from United, but they both have joke defences. De Gea has made the difference, could have been 3-3 or 4-4. Fellaini has improved a lot this season though, strange that David Moyes couldn't get the best out of him ?

Liverpool was worse in defence (and have not improved this season) and managed to get 2nd.

You have not have had to be great to win the title for a couple of seasons now. I would go as far as you have not had to be decent

LVG is a fantastic manager and the sort of manager who is the difference between a team that should finish 5 and them actually finishing 3rd,

We was not great but was a improvement from most of the games from last season.

Foy was as awful as always but at least this time he was incompetent for all his decisions and not just in the ones that was towards Chelsea.

Its still between us and City and i think that will be that way until the last week or so of the league.

This weekend, Chelsea, Man city and Man Utd all played average and all won. It happens. How Man utd have won so many games recently with such a dodgy defence is bizarre. That's what champions do though isn't it? They still win when they don't play well. Hopefully Chelsea will recover their form and put a sting of wins together. Man city and Man utd are both due draws and even losses.

Didn't realise Kompany was injured yesterday. More good news for us with Aguero out as well.

Costa, Hazard and Schurrle vs Luiz should be fun.

To win, you have to play the best teams eventually.

Just like we did when we won it., the hard way by beating the best of the best en route.

I dont think PSG are all that great, we beat them last season, and we have a better team now.

Second leg at home puts it in our favour IMO, i would be surprised if we lost over 2 legs. Overall happy enough with the draw. Clearly some other ones would have been easier, but im glad we dodged Shaktar or Juventus really.

I think with our squad we should really be aiming for the last 4 again. Jose is a master of getting that far with the teams he has, so we should cruise by PSG.

Thinking about a wee trip over to Paris to see the game!

Not the best draw but you just have to play who you get.
Least amount of travelling helps I guess.

Will PSG set up like Hull?

Very different game where the tactics and the mindset and the objective will be very different

I know it's only the COC tonight, but I'd start Costa to try and get him firing again.

That's a shame for Zouma, hope he'll be ok.

Looked very nasty.

The response from the medics at the ground was terrible. The first time I've ever seen players bring the stretcher on!

Chelsea has to change up the tempo if we are going to survive the second half of the season. Games are about to get harder and we are only 3 points ahead.

Looked a horrible ankle injury, the Derby pitch causing it. Let's hope he can get back asap.
