RB Leipzig (A) - Wed 22nd Feb, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Hope we win convincingly tonight, but any win will do - Scousers getting thumped after leading 2-0 last night was comedy gold, hearing the commentary narrative change was likewise hilarious. Can you imagine the press today if they'd beat RM? Perhaps there'll be another article about how in a parallel universe the Red bellends won it 5-2....

On the BBC in the “latest news and reaction” there’s 9 updates on the Rags complete with their badge, all positives for a match tomorrow night in the shitty Europa cup.

Meanwhile for the CL we get one update on KDB and Laporte being injured, one on the stats and one on Upson (Matthew who?) saying Leipzig are the best counter attacking team in Europe despite them being 5th in the League and winning one of their last three games in the fish and chip shop League.

Just this minute told a rag to fuck off after butting in on a footy chat I was having. Them them fucking them..

 

[stonerblue]

I hope, in the name of all that is holy, that we don't lose tonight, because I can guarantee you all the press has a Panic on the streets of Leipzig headline ready to roll.

Doubt it.

You just can't call our games these days, we're back to typical City where we have no idea which one will turn up. Neither does Pep by the looks of things as he's changing players and formations all the time.

We may see kalvin in the starting line up, would like to see him alongside rodders with ilkay making a solid 3, I'd even push Rodri forward, he's underrated near the opposition box.

Mahrez mid-height pen to the 'keepers right.

If we remember back to a couple seasons ago when Kevin was injured a lot, we won the league with Bernardo & Gundo as 8's and they were both amazing that season.

Palmer has travelled, can't see him coming on though unless something crazy happens with the score..

Year we did the domestic treble, 18-19. Kev really only came back for the F.A. Cup final.

I agree, Rodri is dangerous when he goes forward.

I'd sooner Bernie in there instead of Gundo,just offers that needed energy and tenacity and would better allow Rodri to advance.

GMP in leipzig have advised that you can only access the away end via the river tow path near the ground.

In Morrisons Irish bar quite a few blues in here

Class.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Choking is not illness , Pep.

 

[paulchapo]

Class.

Ha ha he's bloody funny at times.

 

[paulchapo]

Choking is not illness , Pep.

I guarantee if it gets too severe a grip it will kill you.

For me anyway, this game will sort of speak for the club ambitions tonight,
the reason why we have dropped off the pace in the Premier League and been sloppy all seasons, it could be down to all our eggs in the one basket, Champions League is the one they want most, like it our not by us fans

 

[i kne albert davy]

won’t need public transport to get to ground. It’s walkable from the main train station. Also outside main train station they are doing special shuttles for away fans that take you to our gate.

Any idea of times of buses ?

Kev out today. Idk that we’ll be able to create. Leipzig love to hit on counter attack. An early goal could force them out of it. Cmon lads. I’d take a 2nd or 3rd in the league in exchange for this fucking monkey off our back tbf.

I hate to be pessimistic but I think we've missed our chances to win it with this squad. You never know, the best team doesn't always win it, but unless everything clicks and we keep key players fit I think we'll struggle.
