Match Thread | RB Leipzig vs Man City (22/02/23)

[Tangled up in blue.]

The longer it stays at 0-1 the more nervous I get

 

[BongoBlue]

Carra pretty crestfallen on TV here...:)

Usually Bernie runs a lot in the first half of a season and is burnt out for the rest of the season. Now this season he was asleep for the first half and running like a madman for the second half..hopefully this plays a role in our UCL chances

 

[willipp]

Leipzig have had to work their socks off that half just to stay in this. As the game goes on they will tire more and the space will come.

 

[BLUEisville]

Just saw that Gundo to Mahrez pass on replay, what vision that took!
Or wait, was it a pass? Now I can't tell...

 

[Bluearmy]

It's difficult to criticise such a dominant display, but by fuck it's boring! It's like we prize possession more than the chance to score. If I was a neutral looking for a team to support, there is nothing in our current style of play currently that would have me saying "where can I get a blue and white scarf from!"

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz....

Its a good thing. To often we lose control and concede from the first chance. RB are not pressing us so just keep control. Another 1 nil half will do us….

 

[phargrave]

Totally dominated that 45 minutes.



A bit like saturday afternoon!

;-)

And look how that ended up….

Don’t let us keep you

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Been great in possession but not had the chances to match it. Need another

 

[Norbert D]

Have a look at his scoring history and he’s a very streaky player.

He’ll score hatticks and braces galore for a month or six week, then goes six weeks barely scoring.

Fair enough, glad I mentioNed it now ;-)

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

We’ve totally dominated one of the in form teams in Europe and leading 1-0 with about 80% possession. We look sharper and well up for it. And you think it’s shit. Jesus fucking Christ we’ve some shit fans nowerdays

Fuck off you Prick

 

[SiMCFC]

Christ, we seem to have pissed the BT pundits off, total contrast to last night, obviously RB are the English side...

No Kev for the killer ball but keeping it better.

Couldn't happen to a nicer law abiding citizen

 

[cookster]

Better control and deserve to be in front.
A must next season is a deep lying ball player. Too many good runs being missed for a safe sidewards pass.

 

[citytill1die84]

Can't win can we? Play well and winning away from home against a team that have lost once in 20 games and we're now fucking boring haha

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

For the most part we have been excellent. Kept possession really well and gave them next to nothing.

I’m liking Mahrez roaming rather than being glued to the touchline.

Dias and Bernie have been excellent.

Grealish looking good again.

I think Walker would be an absolute weapon on the right wing if he didn’t make Jesus Navas look like prime Beckham when crossing.

I would like to see us collectively getting our heads up and looking for a quicker pass and if we do that I don’t think they will be able to live with us. At the moment it’s all a bit slow.

slow, you sure?
We are playing with a good intensity, first touch passing and zipping it about.

 

[wattle]

Fuck off you Prick

Ha I think you’ve just proved my point sweety

 

[HelloCity]

Jake fuming in the studio. Completely flustered.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Just take haaland off and play with ten

Wish some fucker would at least try play him in
That said total dominance from the lads

Walker made it past final defender a few times and Haaland hasn’t made the run to the front post once.
He needs to show in front of the defender.
