RB Leipzig (A) - Wed 22nd Feb, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[BM96]

Listened to a couple of pre-match forecasts in the media , why do they always look at the possibilities that City "can be got at" and our defensive frailities , we never get any positivity and what we are capable of doing to Leipzig.
No doubt the BT pre-match will be more of the same , but you watch the Rags v Barca pre-match chat tomorrow and it will be Rashford this and Rashford that and their quest for the quadruple , with a few Rag pundits and a couple of Rag commentators.
Hence i now refuse to listen to the BT bull shit and turn on the TV at 7.59pm , and then mute the commentary , the continual negative media agenda towards our club is now becoming comical , no other club is treated like this and no other club in history representing England in europe has had such negativity.

Exactly, Leicester could of been a couple up
before Rashford scored.
You wouldn't know from the media. All you hear is best centre backs in the league or best dm, Shaw best lb. They never say they can be got at.

They constantly talk negative pre match build up in the hope that it actually happens and that we get beat,the only English side in European competitions that gets treated as a foreign team absolutely disgraceful,but is anyone actually surprised..

[paulchapo]

Decent enough balanced looking side. Akanje worries me but it is what it is I guess.

Why?… Because we don’t wear red.

because City is the best football club?

 

[Utter bobbins]

Our bench is weak

 

[frothy]

anybody in or outside the ground is Beer on sale? asking for a piss head friend

 

[RACHACE]

Love away games in Germany. Police just leave you to it and only get involved if they have to. The Spanish police could learn a thing ot two about treating human beings as human beings.

Nice walk to the ground, German pilsner in hand.

Up the blues

 

[super_city_si]

Expected if true. Fairly sensible from Pep.

 

[Claytop]

Not enough surprises for a CL game, boring Pep…

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Good team that. I'm confident we'll come away with a win.

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Strong team weak bench. 4-1 to City

 

[fuskarn]

and now official:

 

[the blue panther]

Come on City!

imo this match can go either way, i hope we manage to get any kind of lead before 2nd leg.
A close 3-2 win, goals from Haaland and Gundo and Dias header from corner.

Also we will concede from the first on target shot against us. :(

I think we'll fuckin' smash 'em!
4-1 for City.
Come on you blues!!!

Our bench is weak

We have a shallow squad this season.

We have a shallow squad this season.

Mad how three injuries leaves us with a load of untried teenagers on the bench

Decent enough balanced looking side. Akanje worries me but it is what it is I guess.

Stones injured, Laporte ill, Ake having to play LB - Akanji has to play unless you play Gomez at LB (seems unlikely given his defensive frailties). Or Bernardo I guess, but with KDB home ill that leaves you with a midfield conundrum.

I've got my concerns about Akanji's defending too but this is a situation where it'd be very difficult to not play him.
