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

Can't argue with that. We're winning away and they really don't look like scoring.

Haaland is pretty much MIA, but when they're crowding down that deep, there's not really much for him to do if we arent crossing it.

Mahrez will never pass to haaland in a month of Sundays and I don’t know why not and he is not on his own . Pass it through and he will find the goals . Red bull will cone out second half and we will need another goal here .

Commentary team gutted for Leipzig the wankers

Commentator keep referring to our Pres-sink and pass-ink

 

[heslops barnet]

No idea why folk are so fixated on how many times Haaland touches the ball.. Who cares, no other strikers touches in world football are commented on, in the press or in here…!

Always expecting a hat trick?

 

[Gus Fring]

Just hoping for the elusive second goal early in the second half now.

Riyad really seems to be in love with this competition. He's a huge player for us if we hope to go far this season.

Games tend to be more open and Riyad thrives with space to play in...As does Jack.

We’ve totally dominated one of the in form teams in Europe and leading 1-0 with about 80% possession. We look sharper and well up for it. And you think it’s shit. Jesus fucking Christ we’ve some shit fans nowerdays

Not one to call out other fans usually me, but 100 percent agree with you! since I’ve started posting again this place is a lot more toxic.

Some even pretty much wishing ederson to concede

Dominant half, energy zapping for the opposition who will have to eventually take a risk. Hopefully we will be ready to pounce when they come out.


We’ve reduced one of the most inform teams in Europe to bank up on us alas a Dyche Burnley etc.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

In control but we need the next goal, don't give em a sniff of hope.

 

[SamBlue]

Pep to Bernardo:'This is a school yard and you are a nine year old. The ball is yours lad".

 

[BLUEisville]

We've been in complete control at the back and have disrupted most everything they've tried. Real knee on the throat stuff.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

I’d just want Haaland to be given a ball into the space behind their defence to make the defender think twice.
And to stop the lad being bored to fucking tears.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Haaland doesn’t look right to me and hasn’t since the restart after the WC. That header across goal from Rodri would have been a simple nod in earlier in the season, his confidence looks a bit gone.

Have a look at his scoring history and he’s a very streaky player.

He’ll score hatticks and braces galore for a month or six week, then goes six weeks barely scoring.

 

[Gundoggin]

Very comfortable and controlled so far . A 2nd goal for us will make it a lot easier
C’mon City

 

[CatMan]

It's difficult to criticise such a dominant display, but by fuck it's boring! It's like we prize possession more than the chance to score. If I was a neutral looking for a team to support, there is nothing in our current style of play currently that would have me saying "where can I get a blue and white scarf from!"

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz....

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

I think this performance so far combined with the Forest performance (despite the result) have given me confidence that we can go on and win some pots this season. It feels more like the City of last season than at any point probably since we played United at home.

If we play like this every week we will be fine.

Trying to sound scouse, you know the BT way

 

[Blu3m00n91]

We can kill off this tie tonight. 2/3-0 and that’s done.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

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.

 

[Tevez City]

Boring

Foden for Ake Pep

 

[skillman]

Would love to see the long, dipped ball into Haaland’s feet more often. He comes out on top more often than not when the ball lingers because he can use his strength while it’s in the air to position himself right.

Just about making sure he’s not got 2 on him

 

[Norbert D]

Its not Haaland, when he grabbed a hat trick against wolves I bet you weren't saying that

Sorry mate you seem to be at cross purposes, my Point is he was great earlier this season including Wolves, but now he doesn’t seem to have the confidence he had.
