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

Stop being so paranoid, it was a fair question.

Nah, as ever it’s all about how we can be beaten rather than how do we win
Last night wasn’t like that, last week wasn’t like that and you can absolutely fucking guarantee tomorrow night won’t be like that

 

[ninjamonkey]

Disgraceful BT as per usual ffs ,how do Leipzig get back in to this ???

Stop being so precious. City host a halftime show if you want nothing but a city perspective. there's 2 teams in the game.

feel like we would be pissing this with a false 9. Feel sorry for haaland but the team has no idea how to use him.

I’d love to know the stats of chances created this season compared to last at the same stage. Don’t forget though that he’s still learning and trying to fit in. Just like all our players - look at Jack - he’ll get there. Hell be unstoppable when he susses us and we suss him

 

[city warrior]

I bet Haaland is getting well pissed off

Who cares? What matters is City, and we are dominating a very good team.

 

[FantasyIreland]

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

And putting the brakes on when we get anywhere near their box.Yes we are controlling the ball brilliantly but it's not enough as we found out last weekend.
We should be 2 or 3 up,we just refuse to go for the jugular in favour of 70% possession.

I guess some would call it 3rd world problems,but the fact is....we could be better and we could certainly be using Haaland better.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Mind you at least with Englands cricketers there’s something to get excited about. Is that what I just heard Cuntphreys just say?

 

[Kippax77]

Lets just hope they hav'nt a German Chris shit Wood on their bench

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....

WT actual F!

U.S. fans really do know fuck all! Maybe you ought to stick to basketball if you want 100 "goals" a game. Pffft!

 

[Blueknows]

Playing well away from home in Europe yet it seems some will never be happy

Especially the.media

I don't let the anti City brigade worry me mate.

 

[mosssideblue]

Save Eddie.
Difficult coming through 2 players, lucky not much meat on it.
Great half City.
KEEP IT UP!!!

Agreed, he's faced firmer pass backs

Nah, Leipzig beat Madrid, and were superior to them in Bernabeu(they lost by a goal at the 82th minute). They jave only lost once since October if I am not mistaken.

Sheriff beat Madrid in the Bernebau in the group stage last season n’all.

Every time we face one of these non-Bayern German sides, I always think they look completely ordinary and would probably finish bottom half in the Prem.

Haaland

 

[Frankie lad]

Their goalie has no mud on his shorts.Harland isn’t in the game. Grealish huffs,puffs and falls down.
We should be out of sight but yet again aren’t.
Let’s hope we manage it.

Good, stay away…..

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

The away end look like they're enjoying the beer on the terraces lol

 

[jamielowndes]

Mahrez will never pass to haaland in a month of Sundays and I don’t know why not and he is not on his own . Pass it through and he will find the goals . Red bull will cone out second half and we will need another goal here .

Yeah I can't help but feel like hes missing him a few times. He literally had his breakout season playing alongside a striker who was great on the fastbreak. It can't be that hard.

 

[I'm Blue]

Only missing a second goal. Otherwise that is a 45 minute battering

I'm taking that.
One shot on target and no goal.

 

[jimharri]

We can kill off this tie tonight. 2/3-0 and that’s done.

If we have a two goal lead going into the home leg, I'd be ever so slightly miffed if we let it slip.

 

[Kippax77]

Got to be honest that first half was boring. All the possession but hardly done anything with it.

Recent history suggests we need more than 1 goal.

Yes we do, but i think our football as been excellent tonight
