Pep set up the team spot on for the first half, and we were cruising. No doubt about that!

Pity the job doesn't stop after 45 minutes, though, because the moment Leipzig came out for the second half you could tell they were up for it. They were significantly more aggressive and changed their game.

So, what did Pep do in response? Are you truly happy with his performance from the 45th minute on?

I wouldn't say happy, but Leipzig is a good team and a draw away at this stage is a really solid result. A sloppy 2nd half, but with Foden having some injury concerns, I don't think there was a clear sub to be made (Alvarez? Grealish was playing well, and Mahrez is always a threat at UCL). And we still had some good chances (Mahrez saved goal in the line, 1v1 Haaland, great save to Gundogan by the keeper). Sloppy but not awful 2nd half.

If people here expect 20 shots on target on these type of matches, then you will always be dissapointed.

Their manager made changes to impact the game.
For whatever reason ours only makes changes when we're either 3 up or with 5 minutes to go.
It's a mystery.
 
Pep needs to take a look at Arsenal and Burnley for inspiration. He is completely wasting Haaland's talent. The front three of Haaland, Grealish, and Maharez can't press and midfield can be got at easily.
Defense is not the problem, the number of chances Leipzig had they could have scored more.
 
Does he not trust the defence that much that he suffocates the attack with possession? Seeming that way.
 
Brilliant tactics 1st half. Genius
He didn’t do anything in the second half apart from sulk. Terrible from him 2nd half and the no subs thing is just stupid/weird
 
3 away games on the bounce with a 4 th and 5th around the corner. We cannot sustain a full tilt performance every single game. Other than Kev missing and maybe Laporte for Akjani that is our strongest line up.
