RB Leipzig (A) - Wed 4th Oct, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[lightning Rodri]

I thought Oktoberfest was in September?

In Munich it started in September and ends tomorrow.

 

[Gray]

We are without key players and not playing great, I would be more than happy not to lose.

 

[Gigant]

0 - 4 for us , another Haaland storm

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

I think we'll draw or lose here and lose to the Arse and everyone will be in a blind panic at 4 without a win. The press will be orgasmic and over excited, we will get on here 'Pep has taken us a far a he can', 'Haaland is over rated', 'Kovotic is useless' etc etc. Then Pep will do something genius to change it and we'll go on to win 2 or 3 trophies. It happens almost every year. Don't panic Citizens :)

Liverpool Echo headline or Spitty?

 

[Manchester33]

Pep will obviously go full strength (including Rodri at CDM). Win here and the group is all but over. Lose and it will go to Match Day 6 to see who finishes top.

All about the reaction of the players after Saturday, Nunes and Doku need to realise that mediocrity doesn’t cut it with Pep and City , they are playing with the big boys now .

 

[yeah whatever !!]

COME ON CITY !!

Rodri can play

Is there really a huge difference to finishing top or second?

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Is there really a huge difference to finishing top or second?

A few million quid likely to having more points and a home tie second leg in the knockouts.

There's not really anyone we should fear but finishing second would certainly bring Munich into the teams we could be drawn against who'll likely be the best of the rest as we try on retain the cup.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Ederson

Walker
Dias
Akanji
Gvaridol

Rodri
Nunes
Kovavic

Doku
Alvarez
Haaland

I think we'll win this game, 2-1 City.

 

[timperleyblueboy]

Think we need a decent win for confidence more than anything. So I expect a full strength team.
Ederson
Walker akanji dias gavidol
Rodri kovacic
Alverez
Foden haaland grealish

I think kov and grealish will start with the thought to get more minutes in them. With nunes and doku coming on late 2nd half.

 

[Haaland94]

Rodri back for this one, so we will win ;)

 

[bluemystery]

Tricky match this I think, would not rule out a leipzig win or a draw

 

[jrb]

Need a good reaction after Saturday's disappointing performance and result. Pep and Rodri back. :-)

 

[Welsh]

I'd include Rico somewhere.

Yep, would like to see him in midfueld to give a bit of control. Need to try and figure out what we do against Arsenal with Rodri out.

 

[Lee the Blue]

Id buy a draw right now in this one if it were offered. Keeping a clean sheet would be a start and with Rodri back our back 4 shouldnt be as easily exposed as it was on Saturday, when Wolves on rare occasion crossed the halfway line. Gvardiol in please alongside Ruben, with Ake at left back and hopefully better than he was on Saturday.

 

[Gray]

Rodri can play

Thank heaven for that.

 

[asgoodasitgets]

Anyway, it’s cracking the flags here today . Currently 26 degrees .
A bit different from February.
There’s a market on in the main square and the bars are bustling . Should be a great few days .
