RB Leipzig (A) - Post-match Thread

[LongsightM13]

There’s some ungrateful posters on here, ffs, head wobble, reality check, Pep and his team (including Khaldoon, Tixi and Sorriano) are the best in the business, never forget that, and when they’ve gone they will be missed big time.

They’re also human and have got plenty wrong as well. They aren’t perfect.
They are employees of Manchester City Football Club.
This club and our support will be here long after this project is long gone.
An example. Did you shell out going to Porto only to be met with an embarrassing and abject surrender by those you eulogise? I did and I am still fucking disgusted

It obviously didn't. The main thing about this game was to avoid injuries, and keep the squad fit. Shame about Walkers red card but all in all no real harm done. Moaners will always moan. I've supported this team far too long to start becoming a nit-picker. Onwards and upwards. Judging by some of the comments you'd think we'd just been dumped out of the CL. The mind boggles???????

I beg to differ

Foden injured and Walker suspended for at least the 1st leg of the next round

Both totally avoidable

made a right cock up this evening,got the timing allwrong turned the match on only to realise we were.... losing 1~0,was confident we would pull it back watched for 15 mins or so and came to the opinion that strolling had been sent off.But no spotted him with 5 minutes to go in his usual position on his arse then walker got sent off. Brought us down to 9 men.Good job the result was imaterial but please Pep why are you the only one that thinks he warrants a place in the team.

Hopefully that's Pep's CL fuck up done for this season.

My thoughts exactly. And the whole night was a fucking shambles, despite how the weirdo Scouse-esque Pepsexuals might try to justify it

I beg to differ

- Foden injured
- Ake injured
- Walker suspended for at least the 1st leg of the next round

All totally avoidable

Ake? If he can't get a game in a nothing Champions League game then what's the point of him?

Walker I agree.

Foden? He was playing just like Jack & Kev were to get some fitness.

Injuries happen, it's life, players can pick up injuries anywhere you've just got to get on with it.

 

[cleavers]

A number of senior players (and slightly less senior) were piss poor tonight imho.

What it showed was how much Bernardo, and Rodri add to the team.

Steffen saved us from an embarrassment.

Luckily it didn't matter, but I hope Pep has taken note of a lot of shite performances from "senior" players.

Yes I’ve amended it as I agree Ake was always gonna play

An annoying and infuriating result. Little of real value can be taken from that. A lost opportunity- a brainfart- but the message it sends to the young players at MCFC is very clear…….Who’s going to be the next Jadon Sancho and jump ship.
Pep does not trust our Academy players. Not even in games that we don’t have to win.

Yep 100% I can't believe how well Phil Foden is doing at Barcelona.

 

[D'Silva]

KDB has been poor long before he got COVID. He consistently looks a yard of the pace and whilst you can see he has still got the vision, his execution of passes has dropped of a cliff.

Like Laporte, I don’t see either of them regaining their very top form. Whilst that doesn’t mean they are no longer top players, we now have better options than them in the squad and Pep’s selection should reflect that.

Who is this better options than Laporte I was not informed about. Do tell!
