Haaland is literally a negative in the team right now, he doesn’t do anything for the team and chances we create for him he keeps wasting it.

Yes your right he wouldn’t get in my Sunday league team he’s crap sell him.. lay off the meds mate he’s quality world class

Rico MOTM
Brilliant cameo from Doku & Alvarez


The good thing is that the team can perform even much better.

Great result and deserved over the 90 minutes. Rico was superb and full of energy, just what was needed.

Equalled the longest unbeaten English team run in European competition with that result.

Bet the rag/dipper meedya won't mention it

Fucking hell guys. What a fucking team. We’re just getting going. There will be bumps in the road but this is just the best ride. When I started supporting our team I never saw this coming. Not even when we had the take over. Even better, we have 2 young Mancunians ripping it up on the biggest stage. Lewis is a special player and he’s 18. No ego, no silly dances just hard work, fitness and quality. So rare. Great player with the world at his feet.

Enjoy the ride blues xx

I'm gonna come right out & say it.

Haaland is a supreme goal scorer, BUT when he's not scoring, he offers very little else. His form has dipped recently, but today we were playing with 10 for the most part. Pep should have taken Haaland off for Alvarez on 65-70 minutes, saving him for Sunday, because we needed more than he could give us today.

Foden's goal was all down to his sublime shooting control. Hopefully we all appreciate how good Lewis's movement was to pass, move, collect & cut back for Foden to dispatch the bobbling ball beyond the goalie.

The Alvarez goal was a thing of beauty. He had to dig it out from underneath himself, then curled it into the top right corner. BRILLIANT, & it gave us back the lead our dominance deserved.

Doku caused fucking havoc when he came on, attracting several Leipsig players which created space in central areas. And what a pass from Alvarez & a cool, calm, collected finish from Jeremie! I don't think we'd have scored that goal if it was Jack.

What a difference having Rodri & Bernardo made! They made us look like Manchester City again!

My MoTM Lewis gave a dominant performance tonight. He made a few errant passes early on, but once he found his range he was absolutely top drawer.

This was a good away CL win after two disappointing losses. Pep went back to the drawing board & our formation & tactics were more what we'd expect.

Hopefully this is the catalyst to get ourselves back on track for a seriously difficult away match against the Arseholes. Roll on Sunday! \0/

One big difference at the weekend will be the loss of Rodri again.

some trashy English clubs could look up to RB Leipzig. What manners and gentlemen, a great gesture towards Gvardiol.

If Kalvin Philips started tonight we probably would have won 8 nil , we badly missed his pace and genuine world class eye for a pass , wonder if he starts vs Arsenal

Wonder no more Worzel, the answer will be NO.

 

[Blue Mist]

Alvarez will take the headlines for an absolutely stunning and winning goal but Rico was the man. That performance was way above the rest.

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

If Alvarez improves his passing he may be in the running of top ten in the world by the time he’s 27. The kid is so good.

Tonight showed we can go up the gears if we need too.

I reckon Arteta will be changing his Keck's watching it.
