RB Leipzig (H) - CL | Post-Match Thread

[paulchapo]

Crazy game it must have been fantastic for a neutral but they looked like they would score everytime they attacked. There again so did we and thankfully we scored more. Their defence was worse than ours, or perhaps our attack was better, who knows it was like a throwback to Keegan's Newcastle. Our central defenders have turned into the dippers, get injured together. I'm not pinning all the blame on Ake, our midfield was too sloppy and easy to run through, but he's fourth choice for a reason. Three points is all that matters but fuck me we'll have to tighten up in this competition.

Pep digging the fans out hoping we turn out Saturday

Yes that was a very important comment from his post match interview on BT. " please" ,he said in relation to the need for the fans to turn up on Saturday.

Going to be a city legend this guy.

Just got back, brilliant game of football. Excellent going forward and great to see Jack score an absolute peach. Defensively we were all over the place and Leipzig tore through our midfield too easily. All in all great game, but obviously things to work on at the back.

Really enjoyable.

KDB, Cancelo, Grealish, Ake (and Nkunku) were brilliant.

The defence wasn’t.

But who cares?

So Ake is the latest wipping boy from City fans
A long line of players have come this sort of idiotic abuse and proved fans wrong
He is a City player & giving his best
What more can we ask for ?
He would be better of if people supported him instead of slagging him.of & wanting to blame him for everything

Aké is better at defending than Torres is as a striker. Not sure why Aké gets so much stick, he was no worse than Dias or Zinchenko tonight, none of our defenders had good games apart from Cancelo, but even he only offensively.

Good goal from Aké too, loved how he powered in and really wanted that header.

Sometimes I have my doubts about Ederson

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

I think he’s talking in general. Last few years at this stage it’s not been full. I also have seen plenty of empty seats in the league this season. But I get your point not the best time to say it. But he clearly believes the team deserve better support

I suggest he has a word with his Spanish mates and KAM if he wants a bigger and louder support.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

So, Pep's 300th game in charge at City.
What's his win % anybody?

In the high 70s I’d imagine

 

[Berts Neck]

So Nathan Ake, 11 games for City, serious injury, and people feel some of these comments are sensible ?? Get a grip.
