RB Leipzig 3:2 Manchester United

MyOnlySolskjaer · Dec 8, 2020

Sensible team.

GMoore23 · Dec 8, 2020

Did Scholes just say "I think Leipzig are gonna have to score here" .
Classic Punditry right there :lol:

I wouldn't say so. As long as we continue to gain ground in the league.

That being said, let's be positive. We have been really good in the CL, apart from Istanbul. Hopefully, we can continue that tonight.

Argh! Then someone (Walters!!) posts this and the whole reverse jinx is reversed! Quick, someone post a triple reverse jinx!

Think he was referring to united? Haha

It’s a decent line up, until we go a goal down. Once that happens, this tactic doesn’t work

Pretty easy to switch it to a 4-2-3-1 with those players.

Watched Pellistri in the Under 23s a few times and he hasn't stood out for me. I know he scored the other day against Southampton but Anthony Elanga, for me, has looked much better.

Scored tonight as well.

VidaRed · Dec 8, 2020

Time to get warmed up

Camy89 · Dec 8, 2020

Don't really see why folk are having a shitfit over the lineup? Yes, it focuses on defence but Telles (I presume) on the wings should provide some good counter attacking opportunities. Telles wasn't great defensively last game, maybe he's being pushed further up on the left to concentrate on a more attacking approach.

so what if RB score first? we will be completely Fecked. There’s no doubt Ole is relying on a lucky goal. But imagine Chasing a goal with 7 defenders Because you know Ole won’t change anything till 75 mins.

Put one of the defenders as a CF then and lump balls in the air.

Mike Smalling · Dec 8, 2020

I like the line-up. Could have had VDB instead of McT, but all in all good team.

Let's hope we don't have to chase the game though. The attacking options on the bench are quite limited.

PSG - Bashaksehir 1-2
Leipzig - Man Utd 2-2

This is a stooooooooooopid line up. What shape would they play in?

too risky to play for a draw. It’s a risky gameplan starting with 7 defensive players.

The comeback against Southampton 10 days ago.

Wasn't that 2 up top in the 1st half when we were 2-0 down. 2nd half we brought on Cavani and switched to 1 up top

What a pathetic negative lineup For a game we need to win.

7 defenders so Typical of Ole hoping Bruno and rashford are going to bail him out As usual.

Exactly my thoughts. Typical of Ole.

I_live_cement · Dec 8, 2020

We cannot shit the bed in the first half like we usually do. Chasing the game with limited attacking options on the bench will be difficult.

always_hoping · Dec 8, 2020

Here we go lads. Squeaky bum time!

FrankDrebin · Dec 8, 2020

I like the constant negativity before a game. Always gets me in the right mood.

UnofficialDevil · Dec 8, 2020

Small-time from Ole. We're not playing Barcelona ffs. And even if we were 7 defenders? Come on..

No matter how this ends, I love Solsjær for leaving Pogba on the bench after the last days of "chaos" created by Raiola. We can not risk having a player without focus in such an important match

Looking at that formation do you really think Pogba would of been starting even if he didn't try to sabotage our team on the eve of our biggest game of the season? Should be on his way back to Manchester, not sitting on the bench.

Yeah! Reminds me of all the “first dates” I’ve been on when I was younger!

Borys · Dec 8, 2020

I am glad not to see Mata starting.

And apart from last week when we lost. That game worries me a lot more than the Istanbul one.

We were decent against PSG. At least on the same level until the red card.

I like this version. Much more moody.

2 man midfield · Dec 8, 2020

I’m nervous as hell

Drifter · Dec 8, 2020

We'll do this.

redshaw · Dec 8, 2020

If we're drawing with 10 min to go this team will probably sit too far back.

Please just win

RedTiger · Dec 8, 2020

Let's go! Come on UNITED!

charlenefan · Dec 8, 2020

Just can't see how we don't loose, they're at home and need to win a draw's no good for them

Neo_Mufc · Dec 8, 2020

Ok I'm a lot more nervous now.....

TommiHelm · Dec 8, 2020

Not at all surprised by our line up. A bit surprised at Leipzigs line up actually. Also don't like this referee. Not feeling to good.

Straight out of Owen's book that.

Well, it is their job to score goals. So it would hardly be surprising.

TheGame · Dec 8, 2020

Leipzig with a false 9?

Camy89 · Dec 8, 2020

Leipzig 4 - 7 United. 4 goals from United in last 10 mins in a thriller including a Maguire bicycle kick from 35yds. Quote me later.

Classic reverse psychology! @SirAnderson is that you? I always enjoy a double reverse jinx post!!

Guy is bang on. Has nothing to do with his reasoning though.

Its just fact. We will get trashed tonight for sure.
Crashing out in the group stages, can't see anything else but.
shhhh

2 man midfield · Dec 8, 2020

Why do BT have Telles on the wing? While at the same time saying it looks like a back 3?

FireballXL5 · Dec 8, 2020

'The game could go either way' Wise words Glenn.

Dr. Dwayne · Dec 8, 2020

Here we go!
