[lightning Rodri]

That second goal, pure Haaland !

 

[Eccles Blue]

Super strength? Erling: after tonight just scoring goals

 

[BLS]

What happened ? Did we just scrape through ?

The only negative from tonight, most teams will be even more reluctant to open up and play football.

Not the only negative, I was willing them to win a corner so gvardiol could get his head on the ball

4 Central defenders

Hahahahaha

Magnificent Perfornance all round.
39 goals so far this season by Eerling - THIRTY NINE.
WIth the last goal, Haaland broke Tommy Johnsons record of the number of individual City goals in a season (38).
With his 5th goal he also equaled the record of EC/CL goals in a single game.

The performance we've been waiting for.
Fast tempo ,forward incisive passing and end product.
Can't ask for anymore than that.
Hopefully the sign of things to come for the rest of the season.
Entertainment at it's best.

Yeah all about Leipzig. They were atrocious and should be ashamed. They capitulated…..

A bit like United the other week.

I dont think the commentator was seriously saying that we would go on to win the competition, more just asking rhetorically.....but Hamann was having none and seemed to take it very literally, unless I've been double clarkied by him

A reverse Forest performance

Tonight felt like a glimpse into next season. Everyone just clicked perfevtly

We are gonna dominate the National League North.

 

[Berts Neck]

And we not got Gvardiola..We have Ake..

 

[Damanino]

I think Pep got it wrong tactically. He needs to learn from his mistakes.

:)

Only £1 lol, but still, would have been the cherry on top

Simply brilliant!

First the downside... THIS is what happens when KDB has had a couple of weeks' rest & in City terms, thet means playing one game a week. It's imperative we manage Super Kev's game time to get the most out of him like tonight.

We were absolutely on it & literally blew Leipsig away. They didn't know what hit em & they were royally mullered... Every player played his part, but there were a few differences I noticed tonight.

There was a lot more KDB-esque one-touch passing throughout the team, which quickened up our play considerably, leaving Leipsig in a spin. Our energy levels across the team was amazing!

Stones was imperious, as was Rodri, Bernardo & Grealish, & all contributed to our total control of the game. It was simply an unbelievable team performance.

Just like my dinner, I'll save the best until last. I'm gutted he was taken off before he got 6, but Haaland was ruthlessly clinical. Leipsig came to play us which was admirable, but this gave our Viking the opportunity to tear RB a new arsehole!

Haaland dropped deep, he went wide left & right, & pressured & pressed Leipsig's defence & keeper into a myriad of errors, creating goals for himself. However, it was the effort he put into finding the ball, making himself available & getting more involved on the game that made the difference tonight.

We're through to the last eight & we've got Vinny's Burnley up next, so the bandwagon rolls on this weekend. All in all, tonight was a fantastic team performance, with the added flair of several individual world class performances too.
