Match Thread | RB Leipzig vs Man City (22/02/23)

[Bald fraud]

Christ, we seem to have pissed the BT pundits off, total contrast to last night, obviously RB are the English side...

Humphries desperately saying Leipzig MUST step up in the second half what a pathetic lanky streak of piss he is!

Good controlled first half with them chasing shadows.

Keep this control up, keep focussed and we can easily score again .

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

For the most part we have been excellent. Kept possession really well and gave them next to nothing.

I’m liking Mahrez roaming rather than being glued to the touchline.

Dias and Bernie have been excellent.

Grealish looking good again.

I think Walker would be an absolute weapon on the right wing if he didn’t make Jesus Navas look like prime Beckham when crossing.

I would like to see us collectively getting our heads up and looking for a quicker pass and if we do that I don’t think they will be able to live with us. At the moment it’s all a bit slow.

Doesn't always happen when Kev is playing.

Playing well away from home in Europe yet it seems some will never be happy

Haven't seen the Rodri-Gundogan-Bernardo midfield much this season because we can't play Kev as a false 9 anymore.

I'm hopeful that this shape allows Kev to play where Riyad is, because those 3 in midfield offer us a level of control and confidence in possession that is simply unmatched.

Could work. Be interesting to see.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

I’d rather be 5-4 down

I bet Haaland is getting well pissed off

 

[r.soleofsalford]

We're playing like we're 4-0 up here, and we're not. A bit more urgency and variety in how we progress the ball would really help. Our wingers don't cross the ball and our central midfielders don't play through balls. It leaves us creating precious little despite our obvious superiority

We’ve had 74% possession and scored 1. All they need is get 1 goal and it could change the game. We need another goal

 

[mosssideblue]

This game is shit

Don't watch it then, it's not compulsory for you

 

[argyle]

Got to be honest that first half was boring. All the possession but hardly done anything with it.

Recent history suggests we need more than 1 goal.

 

[Claytop]

Are we erm, back?…
