We need at least a draw as we don't want to be going to the Emirates on the back of 3 defeats. Thankfully Rodders is back hopefully to steady the ship and a draw here won't be a bad result, not saying we can't win though.

Why should Rodri play? Its a piss poor group that we'll likely win. Kovacic needs minutes, there's only two games before the Int break. Play the same team that will play vs Arsenal.

Leipzig are a decent team they drew with BM yesterday. We want to top the group and have qualification wrapped up early so we can rest players if we want.

We have injured players that maybe will come back for Arsenal? But we mustn't play them before they are ready. Teams get momentum from winning games. We have a small squad and when our best players are available and rested we should play them. We are a different team with Rodri. I am sure Pep will want to improve the team that played against Wolves because if we play that team again, we could be easily looking at 4 losses in a row!

I can't imagine Pep contemplating not playing Rodri, he's too good a manager for that, he wants to win every game, you could see how annoyed he was going out of the League Cup midweek.

Leipzig played well against Bayern on the counter-attack. As they did in the German Supercup.



We’ve got a game on, on Wednesday. We’ve looked rubbish in the last week.

Think we need to beat Leipzig- no easy games or groups in CL. No use arrogantly thinking we’re just going to win without our best players

Completely disagree, we know we haven't adequate cover for Rodri in the club at the moment, we shouldn't create a weaker team in the CL just to practice for Arsenal. One game at a time.
Maybe we might have Stones or someone else back for Arsenal. Pep likes to spring a surprise selection when he can. Not sure if you're being a wum/ an opposition fan on a wind up or just a bit thick? But not playing Rodri is an absurd suggestion imo! ;-)

It's a ridiculously idiotic suggestion...

Watched a bit of the match. Leipzig are very fast and very dangerous going forward and will cause us a lot of problems. They don't look strong at the back but will be the best team we have faced so far this season by a mile.
 
Ederson
Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol
Rodri
Foden, Kovacic
Alvarez, Haaland, Grealish/Doku
 
I think we'll draw or lose here and lose to the Arse and everyone will be in a blind panic at 4 without a win. The press will be orgasmic and over excited, we will get on here 'Pep has taken us a far a he can', 'Haaland is over rated', 'Kovotic is useless' etc etc. Then Pep will do something genius to change it and we'll go on to win 2 or 3 trophies. It happens almost every year. Don't panic Citizens :)

I think you may well be right about all that.
