Match Thread | RB Leipzig vs Man City (04/10/23)

[MadchesterCity]

Some team is going to get a tanning off us soon

Hopefully Arse tanned at weekend

I always think the German teams other than Bayern are. None of them have impressed me since Klopp’s Dortmund.

We’ll twat these at home again.

They often strike me as teams in development, which given who is playing for us is understandable.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Great minds !! See my post right after yours.

Haha that's mad!

I agree on Dias, He is nowhere near his usual level and I think he's like that a good few weeks now. Numerous times this season giving the ball away or throwing a team mate under the bus with a suicide ball.

He's needs to improve. Hopefully he gets his act together starting on Sunday.

Why is KDB due back?

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Can only hope this is the start of an upturn in form, more of the same 2nd half and no injuries.

 

[YatesA]

Get Stones in that Akanji role and it would be delightful. Doku and alvarez on once they start tiring, kovacic as well. Will smash them in the end.

 

[heslops barnet]

Playing the false 6 role which he unfortunately doesn’t have the finesse or game intelligence to do.
Was great last year in a back 3 / 4 when Stones was playing the false 6

Reminds me how good Lescott was when he had Komps playing alongside him….

Gvardials best game in a city shirt so far. He's been fantastic on the ball. Not too bad backwards either.

Think Leipzig will go for it the second half but we've been really patient so far. Let's not see what they can do on the break and control the play

Ffs it’s hard work reading this.

City have had almost complete domination from the first whistle!

City are 1-0 up away from home against a very decent opponent who are often in the latter stages of European competition!!

Young Rico Lewis has been excellent. Foden again having a great game. Ball not quite breaking the way we want in the box or it’s far more convincing scoreline

Yet reading the last few pages. Dias is pish, walkers pish, Haalands pish!! All three of them are the best , or in the debate for being the best, in their position in World football!

Calm down and sit back and enjoy watching this team because believe me in years to come people will be talking about them in the same way they’ve talked about the late great Franny Lee this week. You are watching something very very special. Try enjoying it!

City and every player on the pitch have to perform to world class levels ok
Once you sign for City it’s unacceptable to remain on the levels of humans

Glad we’ve cleared that up

 

[TrentGrisham]

Dias has completed 66/68 passes but it sure didn't feel like that. Walker 40/49.

 

[city warrior]

We are playing really well. Winning against an extremely good team (they were far superior to Bayern last weekend). Rodri is just a beast. Our team looks completely different just with his presence. Rico also playing very smartly. Some sloppy passing in the defense is the only bad thing from today's match.

 

[Chi-town blues]

jasko , foden , rico all had a fantastic first half
goid to have bernie back.

 

[Gigant]

Gvardiol - Dias combo NEVER EVER disappoints

 

[MellowJoe]

Why is KDB due back?

Cos he's recovered from his injury?

 

[Stelea]

Jack and Bernie on the wings = increased control at the cost of goal threat/creativity.
Solid if unspectacular display so far but grinding an away win out should be good for confidence going into the weekend

Bernie has shown us what we have been missing. Wonderful player. Also always seems to hit the ground running after an injury

 

[Blue Til Death]

Why is KDB due back?

Coz he plays for City and has an other 3 years to go on his contract …!

He has so much quality. Getting to grips with the premier league but he’s such a good player.

 

[Chi-town blues]

ake got some competition with jasko , would be my pick for gooners

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

ha that’s when you get extra loud :D

Not during an opponent’s goal.

It’s not even about that. Fans in Germany don’t change what they sing even if they concede a goal.

Nobody will be able to change my view that that is weird.

 

[big gaz]

Come on boys get a quick one or two :-)
