Match Thread | RB Leipzig vs Man City (07/12/21)

Zin is the only player to turn up.

Sterling having success out wide when he comes on, then they fucking change him down the middle.

As for Fern, it's sad to see.

Zin and Steffen were good. I actually don't think Aké was too bad, either

I have never seen us have this many offsides against us. Well, since Anelka left anyway

 

[domalino]

really has. we have 3 fit fullbacks, walker plays almost every fucking game. not only should he not have started, he should have been kept at england. now he's out for the next one, palmer, mcatee and lavia didn't even get playtime, tired players remain tired. what an opportunity this dead rubber could have been and how bruised we finish it.

It's not about the selection, it's about the attitude the players clearly came into the game with.

Some individual performances have been very bad. Grealish and Mahrez have been at their absolute worst. Gundogan has really let himself down, I didn't know he had this kind of shit game in him, Fernandinho might as well not have been on the pitch in the first half the way he let Leipzig play passes straight through the midfield.

And now they've got all angry because the ref didn't give some obvious fouls or penalties and Walker's getting a 3 match ban and Stones nearly got sent off.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Grealish doesn't like tracking back.

Referee laughing and joking with the RBL players.
Damage done.

 

[Claytop]

So…

Shit performance
Shit ref
Shit red card & 3 game ban
Shit substitutions
Shit trip to Germany all around

Just 1 match ban no?

If this Ref is not wearing bright red knickers under his shorts I’m a Dutchman’s uncle

 

[mat]

WHEN UEFA judges it as violent conduct its 3.

Slight edit.

 

[roy.or.r]

Even Keown commenting on the refereeing.

 

[argyle]

Lol at Bt.

What a shame Leipzig lost their first 3 games...

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Swiss ref and linesmen and VAR reffing Germans, hmmmmmm - Ref finally gets his card out on 90 minutes, hate the chumps league, even keown is mystified

I really want to like this competition, but it really is bottom of the pile for me.

The officiating is abysmal!

 

[samuelyeboah]

as for the performances, i can't bring myself to care. yeah we were shit tonight, but it's a pointless game, so whatever

as for the lineup, i'm pissed off. not only was this a golden opportunity to both rest members of the first squad, especially our fullbacks that are stretched thin and play basically week, it was maybe one of a few matches to get serious playtime for EXTREMELY talented young players like lavia, mcatee and palmer.

not only did we fuck both of these up, we also managed to get a player sent off for the round of 16. disaster.

 

[WickyWain]

Played the game without our 3 best players. Walker loses his head and the rest of the team has been poor.
Shambolic by Pep. A brain fart.

Pep out

 

[Gordyola]

He plays strong teams in every stage of every cup and doesn't make subs unless we are winning by 3 goals or losing

He rotates as he see fit he’s done it tonight whilst trying to respect the competition in that the third place was still up for grabs

 

[BlueAnorak]

Oh no, we’ve lost a meaningless game. What are we gonna do now….

Well at least play the kids to find something out.
Nope.
As to Walker - what an idiot.

Damage done.

Damage was done to those wankers long before tonight, fuck off Leipzig!

 

[kaz7]

Great sub from Pep bringing on Sterling.. he's been fantastic!

He was fine before he was put down the middle

 

[Eoiyflem]

Congratulations Pep! Already fucking up our chances in the round of 16

Shut up you absolute tit

You forgot to slag Ake off again

 

[Josh_D]

Surprised he didn’t take Gundo off for a rest at least.
