RB Leipzig (A) - Post-match Thread

No idea what Pep was thinking picking that side, he should have let the kids have a go with the passion and energy they would have injected.. The ref was appalling yet again but im just not getting the mentality of that starting 11 selection and not giving the young bench any meaningful minutes at all…

Walker is a dickhead but no way a Leipzig player is getting a red for that .. Poor night, on to the Wolves game now, this game was a fuckin stinker on every level ..
 
Zinchenko was very good tonight.. completely disappointed from Grealish... I would like to see the young lads taking time ,Walker made the mistake of the season, I hope this would cost just a little in next round....
 
I just don’t see how Pep can moan about fixtures and fatigue and not allocate minutes to academy players. He did the same with Foden I guess but it just feels like a wasted opportunity to strengthen the path between academy and first team as well as a confidence boost for younger players. Some of whom contractually need to see this path.
 
...That was "eh" I guess.

We played it like a game we didn't care about and it showed, plus the "rustiness" and age of some players really showed.

I would have liked to see Palmer get more minutes and for McAtee to come on, but that really isn't anything new with Pep. All I'll end about that is we have no right in being upset when youth leave when Pep does this. He did it previous seasons as well, so it is what it is.
 
It was to be expected half of player still out of form and need match fitness after injury. Can't be arsed about the result.

Onto next match.
