RB Leipzig (H) - Tue 28th Nov, 20:00 | CL | Pre- Match Thread

[Kinkys Left Foot]

You treat any CL game as a run out at your peril. Leizig can be dangerous and have some decent players. Simon and Olmo come to mind. They've bloodied Bayerns nose a few times. I do expect some rotation though. Nunes looks as though he's out and Kova and Stones will likely be on the bench and may get some minutes late on.
Ortega might get an outing and I expect Rico, Gvardiol and Jack to be starting. Other than that same as Saturday.
Be great to rest Rodri for Kalvin but looks like that ships sailed, although if comfortable we might see that switch with 20 mins left. Bobb to get 5-10 as well if alls well.
Reckon we run out winners by an odd goal. Can't see the bumming we gave them last year being repeated.
Guaranteed 1st spot will do nicely, I fear nobody.

Olmo is currently injured and won't feature.

 

[Big Swifty]

Controversial take here.

I start Kalvin as a last chance saloon type of offer. See if he can step up.

He might be good enough for Enland, but he's not good enough for City

Dont make me slap you !

 

[IronsideKozuch]

Julian Alvarez definitely out of this one, need a rest, but im sure would be back to his previous form. A bit worried about Philips, it slowly comes to a point, where you should start him for a humanitarian reasons;) but in a way Pep is not very humanitarian;)

He needs to be wrapped in cotton wool mate.
we have an important transfer window coming up.

Suspended for accumulating too many yellows

If we get a free kick, do you think we should try a shot over or around their wall.

Kick it out for a corner throw in if Kyle is anywhere near it.

It’s a nice bonus pay out though being on the bench

That's not a bad shout. Though I still think his days with us are probably numbered, even if he pulls a prime Zidane performance out of the hat tonight. Shame, as he seems a decent enough lad, considering!

Should the fact of tonight's match being sold out be taken at face value? If so, that's impressive, for a match with not a lot riding on it. Just that when it's announced as sold out, and I see empty seats here and there on television, I wonder what's happened.

More people will be in the CL scheme as the final is at Wembley. Guess a fair few might not fancy it tonight or be busy.

I wonder if I’ll be sitting in the middle of the Youth team like for YBs.

They've just beaten Leipzig 2-1.

There are a lot of resellers out there messing it up. Hence, some seats are empty despite being "sold." There are hundreds of tickets available for tonight as we speak. Just google it. They are the problem because they are driving the prices up. There should be a rule that you can only buy tickets from the official website. There must be a way to implement it somehow.

Could be a few empty seats tonight with many deciding against it as it’s bloody freezing!

Am looking at my wardrobe taking a gander through my winter collection deciding if it's going to be 2 or 3 layers, if any of you are harder than me but want to be comfortable at least wear 2 layers of socks.

Maybe a little Whaskey to keep the chill at bay, a little chest warmer.

You know it makes sense.

 

[blue whippet]

Looks like it's going to be a cold night, I'm digging out the big thick coat and gloves for this one. Get the job done City, a few goals so we can all jump up and down to keep warm would be nice. No injuries and rest some legs early for the weekend.
