absolute lack of any creativity down the wing. Grealish and Mahrez did well scoring the goal but that was both of them picking middle positions after Leipzig stupidly gave away the ball.
otherwise we create fuck all generally from out wide. not sure how long we can get away with that in CL or PL. I assume not very long.
the pressing ability of a Haaland, Grealish, Mahrez trio vs Foden, Sterling, Jesus trio, is night and day. on top of thatsaid we create fuck all from wide areas...
its either someone like Gundo, KDB plays in a good ball and breaks the line or we are fucked.
Leipzig probably finished this game with a mindset they can come to Etihad play like 2nd half and may even qualify for next round.
they are no pushovers, have a good manager, some great players and lot of energy, more energy than we have seemingly.
wish we had been going for scoring the second more but now it feels like we are lucky it we didnt lose it. quite a bad outcome after the quiet but very good first half.
unfortunately it wasnt that we dominated them totally more like they realized we are not as good and second half they gave up their less risky defensive play and straightaway they posed lot of threat.
problem is there are some teams that are levels above this Leipzig. Napoli, if we meet them, with this display today we probably lose 3-1. same vs Real...
