RB Leipzig (H) - Tue 14th March, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I can't see Leipzig adopting the Palace tactics. I think it will be an open game and we must get a couple with the chances we create. Who's the Uefa whistling wanker? Is he and VAR gonna win the game for Leipzig?

That back four is the Great Wall of China.

Incomplete and weak in places, the large gaps allowing Genghis Khan's invading hordes to pour through with ease.
Which led to the fall of the dynasty.

Is there an added time/time wasted sweepstake open yet?

Our home record under pep in CL is brilliant. Fully confident tomorrow.

Does anyone know how many Leipzig are bringing?

leipzig have been terrible away in the BuLi, missing some key players and we are usually very good at home in the CL (last time we lost at the etihad was 2018 i think). im going 2-0 City

Confident enough we will win through tomorrow night but,if this game is still level pegging going into the second half I just hope the crowd don’t start getting nervous as it could transmit down to the players,we don’t do things the easy way sometimes,so a nail biting finish could also be on the cards hahaha hope to fuck not ..

+ a few hundred spread around the ground. The corporate areas should be interesting.

Ederson

Walker/Stones/Dias/Ake

KDB/Rodri/Bernardo

Mahrez/Haaland/Foden

We have to put out our best defenders and best attackers. Bench Grealish, bring Mahrez back in. KDB has to play no matter his form. He's the only one who can find Haaland.

Olmo is back for Leipzig, which is a big boost for them. They're very dangerous in transition. Lose the ball in a bad area and they have six runners breaking on you. We need Bernardo in beside Rodri to provide us with off-ball work and help shield the back four. With those two in front of Walker, Dias, Stones, and Ake, that should allow the front four to work their magic.
