RB Leipzig (A) - Tue 7th Dec, 17:45 | Pre-match Thread

For those who are wetting their frilly knickers about no kids starting, just chill out, we’ve never had a manager in our history who has improved players and the team like Pep has. Phil Fodens development has shown that. Now go and change your knickers ready to enjoy the game.

Finally Pep listens to bluemoon board and plays kids! :) :) :)

Apart from the FA Cup probably the last time Palmer & McAtee will get a chance to start a game , not surprised Pep always plays a strong team and remember the same frustrations when Foden was developing , but he appears to have got that right !! Hopefully we get a couple of early goals and the academy lads get a run out , playing on Tuesday also gives us an extra 24 hours recovery for the Wolves game , KDB & Grealish needs games to get some form and goals into their games.

Should have had at least one of the kids starting.Mahrez doesnt need to be out there,and Zinchenko could have made way for Wilson.

And Pep repeating the word “Rhythm” lots in his pre match presser.

Rheeethm got a fair few airings!

 

[Dax777]

Well!!! This is an unnecessarily strong team :(

Why’s Pep got a receipt tucked into his collar ?

Whilst I think walker (and probably gundogan) could have been rested maybe Pep wants a more stable back 4 for the benefit of the others. the players that need minutes don't want to be covering for a vastly inexperienced kid that isn't at the required level yet, they need to be playing in a side that plays the same as usual so that they can get themselves upto speed for when they do come into the side in a game with something actually riding on it.

The kids will get a chance second half. Wouldn't be surprised to see egan Riley on at half time for walker, Palmer on shortly after for gundogan, mcatee on for kdb after an hour and the other two to get the last 10 minutes.

Think KDB will be getting the full 90 minutes

Typical BT , 15 minutes about the Rags , 15 minutes about the Dippers and 15 minutes about Leipzig , so are the favourites for the Champs league and Premier league leaders with seven wins on the bounce playing tonight ?
Look forward to the Dipper and Rags pre-match later and tomorrrow when we wont even get a f*cking mention , getting tired of this media agenda , Sky , BT should be boycotted by all non Rag & Dipper supporters, its just a combination of United we Stand and Redmen TV.
