RB Leipzig (A) - Tue 7th Dec, 17:45 | Pre-match Thread

[Oldham Exile]

Gone for a draw..........

Don't think that I have ever gone other than a win before

Just a gut feeling and a number of circumstances - dead rubber, important to them - we will rest a lot of players etc.

Saying that - players coming in with something to prove and KDB and Grealish getting some minutes into the legs - I will probably bet on 0-3

Would like to see how many big stars PSG rest for their dead rubber vs Bruges. Hopefully Pep will not be afraid to keep several big names at home too, especially with Covid getting much worse on the continent.

Remember the prize money for winning this one individual game is higher than the prize money for winning the FA cup final. That £2.5m pays for half of one of our player's annual salaries, so there's an obvious financial incentive to win...

Not alot of people knew that, guv.

 

[herrock]

KDB, Grealish and Foden need some game time so expect them to start

 

[Centurions]

Isn't CJ Egan-Riley an academy CB?

 

[ysmsa]

Send 11 fans out there. Doesn't matter. Doubt I'll even watch, to be honest.

They won't be allowed in :-)

just play Bernardo and nobody else.. Will still play well

 

[deegee33]

I would like to see Bernardo, Rodri, Ruben Raheem and Eddie plopped down on an isolated beach somewhere for 2 or 3 days with nothing but sunshine, warm waters and good food. NO FOOTBALL.

Good point about Covid. The last thing City need is another outbreak.

When do the lads fly out?

 

[K-Bo]

No jesus, which probably means Palmer starts for sure.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Im guess this XI with McAtee on for Foden or Grealish early in the 2nd.

Foden Palmer Mahrez
Grealish Ferna KDB
Zinks Ake Stones Cancelo
Steffen

Hope Carthorse is pleased with himself after that assault.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

well that answers on how Pep sees this tie..

I saw some talk of Foden playing through the pain recently, if true wouldnt be surprised if he gets the night off as well. Also would be very surprised if cancelo plays he's played pretty much every minute. Will be an academy rb i reckon.

Wasnt sure if it was Phil with the knock or not, He missed the Villa & WHU games, before Sat. I can see him being given 60mins for rhythm from the off. Egan at RB is a decent shout.
