Leipzig you wanted us angry, you got us angry!

Worrying 1st half. Not sure if it was worse than Southampton away last season but it was that bad.

But Pep made subs and Julian changed the game..

He might be in bad form but even then he can change a game!

LOL @ all who doubted him!

BTW Rico in midfield is Gundo like. Excellent!

It was nowhere near as bad as Southampton away.
 
First half was shite, but we seemed to have stumbled on a solution to the problem of recreating last years system with no Stones. Rico brilliant in that inverted role with Akanji being able to sweep up behind him.

Julian and Jeremy added some much needed urgency aswell. Happy to win the group for the 7th year running, can't ask for more than that!
 
We all question Pep's subs, or lack of them, but tonight he madè the right ones at the right time. And they made a massive difference. Get Rodri's knee in ice pronto!
 
Very poor first half. A bit better 2nd half but still way below our best IMO. Strangely enough we probably had more and better chances first half than 2nd, just didn't finish them.

Weird game but another win and topped our group again so can't really complain too much.

and Rico has pace - long way to get to Gundog's level, but what potential the young man has - could see him playing against Spuds
 
sorry to keep banging on about Doku. But this Doku coming off the bench when a team is tired is nonsense. He’s been our brightest player for weeks. He deserves to be one of the first names on the team sheet. Special mention to Foden who played a vital part in all the goals.

Mission complete.
 
Cracking second half after a woeful first half.

Dias is a worry, he’s really out of form and costing us goals. Big shout to Rico Lewis who I thought was outstanding and foden though not his best getting a goal and two assists will do him good.

pep mentioned previously that doku can’t play every 3 days. said the same about ake.
 
Shocking first half, with some stunningly bad performances (Dias, Rodri, Akanji). But much improved second half, good show of character.
All the subs were very good, the change of shape made a world of difference. Hopefully stick with it and forget the fullbacks-out-wide-with-Rodri-hopelessly-isolated system we started with.
Shout out for Ake - so underrated. Outstanding defender, very good footballer. And obviously a brilliant pro who takes everything on board and goes out and does it.
