Has anyone read peps post match comments. He has said he doesn’t think we have the pace to play in transition with speed and play forward quickly. He named haaland and walker as the only ones with real pace. Ignore the fact that you may disagree and name foden etc as others. But, he obviously doesn’t feel we can play any way except from this. We obviously need new players this summer to put some life into this team.

They're really starting to piss me off now
That's a good point, but how long is too long? A few months is a long time in a professional footballers/managers career when you think about it. At some point, people are good and then they are not good. Happens to everyone. How long do you hang on for? A couple of years? Solskjaer-esque? (Not that he was ever good....but you know...hanging on too long is the point).If it was over a couple of years then sure. A few months of this?

That makes me feel better actually. Sounds like Pep agrees with us that midfield is a problemHas anyone read peps post match comments.

Can't sustain it over the space of 3 away games where the home supporters does help with the team's performance.Has anyone read peps post match comments.

Good comeback.I guess our perspectives differ on RBL. I see them as a 5th place side in a non-competitive league. They're designed to challenge for a CL spot but not to win any trophies. Meanwhile City have class up and down the pitch along with the best striker in the world. My boxing analogy would be that if you're the most powerful and feared heavyweight who gets matched up with an outgunned opponent you should knock him the fuck out as soon as possible because the longer he hangs around the better chance he has of catching you.
When we look back on this match I'm sure it won't matter because City will likely advance but it would be great for the team if they could find 4th gear again and start bullying teams like they used to.
I think Leipzig’s results against other big hitters Madrid, Bayern and Dortmund show that they aren’t as outgunned in reality as we’d expect them to be on paper.
As you say hopefully the expected 2nd leg City win renders this discussion moot.
Yeah I think so. We created nothing in the first half despite our possession and they could have nicked an equaliser. Second half they seemed to have some half decent chances.Wtf? Best chances?

I don't think so. I think knocking the ball around the halfway line is playing into their hands because it puts no pressure on them. Bigtime NFL offenses don't come out and run the ball up the middle every play, they go deep. Sluggers don't bunt in baseball, they jack long balls and scare the hell out of pitchers. City used to stretch defenses and make them lose their shape, now they're so plodding and predictable they make average teams look good.And play more into RB Leipzig's hands?
