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

It is becoming more and more obvious that Pep’s goal is not to win the CL unless he gets all the credit for doing it with a weakened side. Foden has been lights out lately and the best attacking option in the team and he’s exiled to the bench. No way do RM sit Vini Jr in a match like this.

Do you know what . You should manage the team.. not the other guy I mentioned. You are obviously more aware than pep at what pep should be doing.

You do realize we have had a lack of fullbacks all seasons? Lol

Walker is on the bench tonight, he should be starting over akanji and move stones centrally imo

This is likely to be long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror when Leipzig break after turnovers.

Match Day thread has started an hour early tonight.

Just seen the team - no wonder.

No worries about the full backs. There’s ……….four CBs in the team. That will show them.

Yea we should definitely start Gomez. You just to have fullbacks that is

FFS

He’s on the bench…

So you think the trio of Rodri,Gundo, Kevin works?

It’s been unflattering all season, and now we are about to see it with four centre backs playing in defence.

Think Kevin will be on the wing.. Rodri, Gundo, Bernardo trio in midfield!

my issue with the side is the lack of full backs. Seems overly cautious to me

Our fullbacks have their knobs stuck in bars or bayern!

Can't fault Pep for them being knob heads!

 

[Revolver]

There will be no lack of effort from the players tonight. Pep has won so much for us and we don’t get beat very often.

But this team seems to be more designed to keep possession than actively score. It doesn’t scream we are going for it

Foden, Walker, Lewis and Alvarez whilst no guarantees (and all 4 would not fit) would add pace and possibly freshen us up.

But trust in Pep.

 

[kanovic]

Walker is on the bench tonight, he should be starting over akanji and move stones centrally imo

Walker hasn’t really played that well.. akanji has not been that terrible. Again I don’t think it’s a surprise

 

[FantasyIreland]

Yet another Pep 11.

4 centre backs and a midfield that's slow as fuck.

We are there for the taking,and its absolutely unnecessary.
