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

[ali benarbia's studs]

Our bench is weak

kev and laporte are sick, stones has a hammer out. Far from weak.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Our bench is weak

Hope it doesn't collapse, someone could get hurt.

 

[Don Karleone]

4 at the back?

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

How come he's not fucked about with it ffs

 

[Irishblue93]

Probably one of our weakest benches in a knockout round ever. (bar foden/Julian)

Apparently, Nkunku has made it…

Nkunku only makes bench

He’s gone down in the world.

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.

They're just everywhere...its worse than covid. I started a new job last week...guess what...2 supervisors = Man yoo fans, 1 colleague = arsenal, 1 colleague = spurs...I don't bovver saying anything anymore....City do my talking on the pitch.

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

Brother texted me not long ago, said it’s absolutely brilliant there today

 

[phargrave]

and now official:

A few years ago that bench would have been as good as the first 11!!!!

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Wanted Foden in from the start. Other than that it's the best we can do given the absences.

 

[Gus Fring]

Absolutely zero creativity in the lineup, head says we’ll lose narrowly.

Heart says fucking City win, nice to see the usual pre match positivity from some folk.

98?

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Hopefully we will be winning comfortably with 15 minutes to go and Perrone gets a run out.

 

[Bald fraud]

Alvarez on the bench 3 games in a row

He must be getting pissed off now

 

[ninjamonkey]

Would have had foden in otherwise correct team. The bench is a huge worry though, if it looks like that with just 3 injuries in the squad. Imagine if we get a proper injury crisis, we're far far too small.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Please City win this game.

Zero creativity….. really?!

Happy with the line up if we park the bus and hoof it!

 

[mcfcpride]

No way, an actual 4-3-3!
