RB Leipzig (A) | Post Match Thread

All good things come to an end. He's going to leave at some point.
If you think he's improved the team this season, fair enough. He hasn't though... We've regressed, and he knows it.
Any other club would be worried with a drop in performance like this season, especially after signing a player like Haaland.
Every time hits a bump. Arteta had been poor for a long time until this season. Sometimes you have to back your manager and team. Ten Hag was shit for the first few months. We could be like Chelsea and regress further with a new manager.
 
We drew a game.

We had a bad 2nd half of a football game.

Honestly, calm down.

another bad 2nd half…

even the games we won villa 3 up half time come out half arsed they scored!

forest same as…

and before anyone throws in arsenal game the players knew was a big game… so tells me management and players only up for gig games surely?!……
 
The proverbial game of two halves.

In the first half we were full of energy, dominated and deserved to lead. The only disappointment was we barely got Haaland involved. Gundo tried one through ball that didn't come off but after that nothing.

Then they came out second half full of energy and pressed higher up the pitch and we were pretty much nullified.
They had a some good chances and we couldn't have complained if we lost that.
Pep got out coached and the fact that he didn't even put on any subs showed that he didn't seem to know how to change it. Gundo was pretty much a passenger after 60 minutes and Grealish, apart from one through ball to Haaland did nothing except get the ball, turn pass sideways or backwards, it's getting so frustrating.

Talking about frustrating how must Haaland feel?
There were plenty of times where he could've been put through but we always choose the safe route. The one time he got a run, he pissed past Gvardiol but that was it.
Why didn't we do that in the first 15 minutes of the game?
I'm a bit pissed off knowing he had the beating of Gvardiol but we didn't know that until what the 75th minute and of course we didn't try that again!

If this lad has a future with us, we need pace at both fullback positions and upgrade both RW and LW next season.
We need to create chances for him because this just isn't working at the moment.
I thought Arsenal away was our Haaland blueprint for success, rather than an outlier, never to be seen again
 
In most circumstances I'd agree. But City had the lead and were bossing the match, that's not the type of match you want to get a draw in.
To use a boxing analogy, the higher up the ladder you go the less likely you are to stop your opponents with the first few attacks you launch. Tougher opponents are more durable, can withstand greater punishment and have the mental strength to regroup and then launch their own attacks. That’s exactly what happened tonight.

Nobody likes to concede an equaliser but a draw was a decent result tonight.
 
You are living in cloud cuckoo land if you can think we can play intensive football week in week out.
When did we last play this intensive football mate ? Bar Arsenal we’ve been shite for weeks , dropping points v Everton and Forest , losing against a shit United , then spurs who got their arses handed on a plate the week after v Leicester ?
 
Sorry for re posting this but this is the midfield that would be more exciting to watch right now.

DM - Rodri
CM - Bernardo
CM/AM - Foden
LW - Grealish
RW - Alvarez
No it wouldn't. The players are not the problem. The formation is not the problem. The tactics are the problem.
 
I'm not wrong. You're over-reacting.

We drew an away game in the CL.

You and others are acting like we've been relegated.

Wanting to Pep to be sacked because we drew a game, give your heads a wobble.

okay mate you enjoy the draw and the way we’re playing

Forest, Leeds, Chelsea, Liverpool since the restart. Lucky not get something out of the derby. Wolves first half, Aston Villa. Arsenal was good.
 
Does the away goal still count?
Well it counts as an individual goal, yes. But scoring more away goals than your opponent over two legs in a drawn aggregate score doesn’t see you through anymore. Just takes it to extra time.

(See City v Madrid last season. In the old format Madrid would have gone through after 90 mins in the second leg but it went to ET)
 
But this isn't a reaction to a one-off game, they happen to any team. This is a reaction to months of Pep refusing to change, when change is so definitely needed and a realisation that this year, we just haven't been that good.

Won 4 out of 5 PL titles, the best football we've ever seen at City in decades and a few months of us not playing scintillating football and you want Pep sacked.

Like I said, give your head a slight wobble and calm down.

We didn't even lose the game!
 
Pissed off with both, as i said to Mrs you would never see either of those incidents go against the redtops.
That’s why our success means more to us because of the bias, we have a huge game changing car crash of a refereeing decision go against us in almost every game
