RB Leipzig (A) | Post Match Thread

[Colin Bells Boots]

Good professional performance. They were dangerous on the break but with the home leg to come we are in pole position. Interesting that VAR was used much less than the Premier League and the game was better for it.

Apart from not spotting the handball you mean ?

First half ok, Grealish should have scored to make it 2-0. Second half we were poor. Passing was shite, everybody knew they'd score the next goal. We are too slow. Not reviewing the potential handball on 92 mins is just corrupt. We are not good enough to win the champions league this year. UEFA will also make sure of that.

They won't have to.

 

[ID70]

Not aggressive enough when we don’t have the ball, especially Mahrez, Grealish, Haaland and Gundo which means the back 4 are immediately under pressure when we’re attacked

 

[Kamaro011]

Lol. They're the 5th best team in Germany. With timo werner in the team. Jesus christ. We were so so boring and so so bad. It's ok to say it. Its ok. Its ok. Its ok.

It's team that draw Bayern and beaten Madrid. Get a fucking grip.

 

[RayCTID]

Managers instructions - must be right?

We are side that can get really punished on the counter.

 

[whipper]

Plenty of rags and dippers on this thread by the looks of it.

 

[Lavinda Past]

I was going to say predictable, but that's just too predictable.

Fucking rubbish. Even Stuart Pearce would use Haaland better than Pep does.

Leipzig rolled over in the first half and we tickled their tummies rather than take them to the cleaners. Inept performance.

 

[argyle]

We lack the dynamism in the final third the elite sides have to win this competition. Look at Madrid with Vinicius. They're different gravy and make all the difference in games with such fine margins between success and failure

Madrid have players that like to shoot when they see half a chance.

We have players that are afraid to pass the ball forward in the final third.

 

[madloaf]

I know but it’s strange isn’t it. All that pace and power up front and it’s not even used.

Crazy. Its the only word for it.

 

[Tony - MCFC]

Decent draw, many on predicted we’d lose so they must be delighted… right?!

Outstanding first half. Must look to involve Haaland more. Grealish, Bern great.

Corrupt decisions yet again, it’s genuinely happening every game no matter the competition.

Inept , you sure.

I've got my grip cheers. You watched the game right? We were fucking awful. Like we played leipzig any different than we played forest, or brentford, or everton. Nothing changes. The opposition knows exactly what we're going to do, we do to and ITS FUCKING BORING!

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

This year? Pingu the penguin

I’d be up for it tbf

 

[chaddblue]

Well they didn’t score with their first shot so we’re getting better

 

[madloaf]

I’d be up for it tbf

Show me the petition and i'm the first name on it.

The ghost of Maradona says that was clearly handball and while he's at it suggests Rick Holden and Terry Cooke would have supplied more ammo to Haaland than we did tonight, spirit's fading......( courtesy C.Baptiste)

 

[kupest]

We’ll never have a better chance than Porto.. And he (yes, I believe the buck stops with him) lost us that final..

And yes probably but CL (knockouts) is a lot of luck. Any other day we beat Madrid last season and that isn't on him for me. I think the players were responsible that day to see it out. I am never judging a manager based on missing out on the CL, its just a competition with the finest of margins. Today could have and should have ended with us getting a penalty and probably an advantage but it din't.

 

[sutty66]

How come you never post when we win?

Bit of habit going on there pal.

cheers for following x

as in life when things going good no one bothered about anything and carry on and all’s good.

when down in life it’s okay to vent and have a opinion mate.


hopefully my opinion is allowed?!

What shit ?

Being a keyboard warrior bully. That shit.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Our point of view: let's be City and pull them around the pitch and wear them down, then take it from there. Their point of view: let them be City and pass it about for the first half and then show them that is one dimensional
