RB Leipzig (H) - CL | Post-Match Thread

[cbl]

Any criticism of Ake for last night, in which I actually thought he had his best game for us, pales in to insignificance as his father died during the game.

I guess we know now why he had to leave the Dutch camp early.

incredibly gut wrenching to read his post. can’t imagine how he must have felt being on the pitch and not by his side.

I have just seen his statement I'm amazed he played at all. Poor bloke.

So sad, and just reinforces football isn't the be all and end all. There are much more important things in life.

Was it me or did they have the safe standing seats in the away end last night ?

 

[stonerblue]

If that were the case, why are most on Pep's case for his comments after the game?

Dunno mate.

There's potential for a song here.

the statute outside the ground of the invisible man have you seen it yet

Just how I saw it. Am entertaining game against a team who had a go. We could have had ten. Some poor defending but that was down to complacency and absentees. The result was never in any doubt whatsoever. Thoroughly enjoyed it and so did my lads.

Give the opponent their due, they kept on coming and never went for damage limitation.

I would expect us to be more focused against a stronger opponent.

Definitely. And with stronger personnel. The three conceded do not worry me one little bit. We dominated and looked like scoring with every attack. And I quite enjoyed how every single time they scored we just got annoyed and went up the other end and scored immediately. I remember a couple of games like that a few years ago. Arsenal and Stoke spring to mind but there might have been others, maybe a CL game. Burrusia Monchengladbach from memory?

 

[If I die in the Kippax St]

Totally agree.

I agree with that comment although I wasn’t there 300 mile round trip and work commitments it looked a decent crowd to me and the vocal support was good. Only problem was listening to Darke with his stuck record on 100m jack. No mention of 97m on lukako or the vast sums spent by the rag losers. I’ll be there Saturday!!

We were missing three of our best four defenders, it should be noted
