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

[FromPollockToSilva]

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

 

[Tommy_Catons_Perm]

Leipzig have had to work their socks off that half just to stay in this. As the game goes on they will tire more and the space will come.

That's the theory.

Disgraceful BT as per usual ffs ,how do Leipzig get back in to this ???

Stop being so paranoid, it was a fair question.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Well, that was a very good 1st half showing from us

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Ha I think you’ve just proved my point sweety

XX

 

[super_city_si]

feel like we would be pissing this with a false 9. Feel sorry for haaland but the team has no idea how to use him.

Ok Dad

 

[BringBackSwales]

This game is shit

Fucking hell. Good job you weren’t supporting us when we were shit

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

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.

Worked a treat at Forest.

Can see Leipzig making a few changes here for second half ..

Not his fault, everyone is out to get him

 

[bluedreamer]

De Bruyne haters might have a case

 

[LongsightM13]

Only missing a second goal. Otherwise that is a 45 minute battering

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Just saw that Gundo to Mahrez pass on replay, what vision that took!
Or wait, was it a pass? Now I can't tell...

It was like watching a magician. He controlled that ball and backheeled it through Gvardiol’s legs without even touching it.

Micah just said he thought the first half was "boring."

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Ok Dad

Right, enough of your lip lad, off to bed.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Jake fuming in the studio. Completely flustered.

They don't treat any other English team in Europe like us. It's pathetic. I've put it on mute until it starts again.

 

[1961_vintage]

Funny how when the rags/liv aren't playing our whopper ratio goes right up.

 

[SCEtoAUX]

Away from home in the CL, absolutely dominating a team who are in very good form and 1-0 up.

We'll bag at least one more and then win at a canter in the second leg.
