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

Tell you what it’s a good job we score a lot of goals because in that game we looked extremely porous at the back. So much space given to that nippy French kid for his goals. And we got a pretty soft penalty. Alongside some terrific goals from us, take a bow Jack, Cancelo and Gabby in his landmark appearance. Great desire from ake for his header too.

But a good win and a really exciting game. Even if we did look a little bit disjointed. The Champions League is such an odd tournament, fairly ordinary teams can suddenly score in a moment. Tonight reminded me of the Monaco games a few years back. Anyway at least we didn’t fuck up to some Young Boys team like some we could mention!

Off we go City. Let’s go one better this year boys.
 
Game had everything but slightly lacked in quality, a line that high is a risk without KW, and our lack of pace up front allowed them to condense the pitch, which probably contributed to the boxing match performance, can’t understand people singling players out as a fair few needed the minutes to get up to speed
 
Watching the replays of their goals and seeing Ake not really to blame for any of the goals makes me wonder if people are taking the piss.
The second, at a push could be classed as bad positioning but then Zinchenko was as much to blame.
 
Love Grealish’s interviews: he talks like a normal person and shows his true feelings rather than someone like Foden who seems to have been media trained to be as bland as possible and just give the same answers

Quick bong at full time before the media interviews haha

Love this lad. He's class.

Not going to lie, I actively despised him when he was at Villa. I thought he was an overrated gobshite.
Turns out I was very very wrong.

What I love about this lad is the fact that he is clearly just loving his life at the moment. Ever time I see him he is smiling and full of the joys of spring. He comes across as a very infectious character and it. Is clear from the City TV stuff that the rest of the team and the wider club staff just love having him around.

Might sound daft after a fee of 100m but I honestly believe he is an absolute steal. Future England and City legend.

First 2 aren’t his fault at all.
First one Zinchenko gets done at the back stick.
Second one is nowhere near Aké. Where was Dias?
Third I’ll agree he mistimed the tackle but Zinchenko doesn’t cover him and Ederson is beaten far too easily.

It’s really easy to scapegoat players and I don’t think Aké deserves it.

Agree with all this.
 
Some great performances there. Grealish and Cancelo the pick of the bunch.
Didn’t like the way Leipzig were able to play through us at times and looked half decent going forward. Really could do with an all action centre midfielder in there.
I know he scores but Ake was horrible. Some really poor defending. Gets dragged towards the ball way too often and not good enough in the air in our box. Great goal from him but for me sadly I don’t think he’s up to the required level at City.

On a different note the presenter on BT sports was so positive and full of praise for us. So refreshing to hear her and not make snidey shitty digs all night. Kudos to her. Hopefully she will present more of our games.
 
You won't win the competition playing like that, but with PSG drawing tonight we've basically qualified from the first game (or at the very least a result from the next match). The best right back in the world, and a top five CB to come back in, means I'm not overly concerned about our back line, which were not great. Left side is still concerning but what's new. The front line is only getting started, which is scary for the rest of the league.
 
What a bunch of moaning, miserable, fuckers...
Will you look at yourselves please...
We smash in 6 goals... pulverise the opposition... get 3 points... top our group and still these self entitled so called City fans moan and rip apart our players.

Some bleeding supporters you are!

If you're not happy after that game and result there is something wrong with you...

Crazy entertainment, and quite enjoyable as the result was never really in doubt.

I thought Grealish was superb, and Kev for the most part, as well as Cancelo offensively.

Some of our tackling was a bit weak though, as was the defensive positioning, but few complaints after six goals and a win. Not sure Pep will be that happy though, there were some sloppy passes tonight.

Brilliant goals from Jack and Joao.

Bonus PSG only drawing.

Second Ake needed to leave his player to Zinchenko. Third was really good play.
