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

4 CB's
5 midfielders
1 striker

Pep's not messing around!

It’s not the team I wanted but fuck it. Walker and Foden should be in. I trust the boss has a plan so let’s see. We can always change it if it’s not working in the 95th min -:)

Why the fuck do we have to see JarJar as a pundit every time we play??

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Not sure which Walker people have been watching recently. He's been a liability.

Foden probably sealed his fate with his performance in the first half on Saturday. Can't afford to give the ball away like that tonight. Bernardo is less of a goal threat than Mahrez or Foden but he'll keep the ball, he'll help out Stones and he'll press.

Wish Laporte was in for Akanji but apart from that, I can't really complain.

That's the shittiest squad he could have selected...

no fullbacks...
no inverted fullbacks.. .
no Mahrez or Foden to create the chances from the wing
KDB-GUNDO duo in midfield
Bernardo a RW <3

Maybe he decided to fully switch to PL title race..

I don't have other explanation than that..

Not a huge fan of the lineup tbh. That back 4 and midfield, while individually talented, is a bit ... cumbersome ... and the center of the pitch is going to be absolutely overloaded. Not a lot of width. BUT what do I know, I trust Pep and think we'll pull through

[big gaz]

How about a right back at right back ,our best centre half at centre half and our most in form player on the wing
Opinions of course

How have you lasted this long in here ;-)

 

[mosssideblue]

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

And what if Walker has been shit in training this week?

 

[super_city_si]

Fuck off with that shite.


I've a fiver on a hat trick.

you talking touches? ;)

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

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.

Perhaps Pep is thinking that Leipzig will see that as licence to get their wide players forward, which will leave space between the lines for Kev and Bernie to exploit?
