Been impressed with Poulsen since he's come on.

Does he know any other tactics?
Yes, defensive tactics away from home.
Alli looking daggers.
Good results from German teams this week.
Most of the wins have been scrappy too.
Haha Alli still sulking.
Aye, was vastly overrated during his breakthrough season - as good as he was that season.
Lamela and elbows
Alli again
2nd in Germany v 5th in England and it showed tonight. Leipzig fully deserved that win and should have won by more. If Tottenham are to get knocked out it could be a blessing in disguise for their top 4 chances in the PL.
Good result for RBL.
Deserved loss for Spurs.
Solid away performance from Spurs. Haters gonna hate.
That was an enjoyable watch 
I know about the Europa League. I'm not counting it because I specifically mentioned CL. I don't need googling because I already know these things. You need to learn to read better.
Dortmund didn't really count as a top team back then and City is an English team anyway and are poor in Europe.
Bayern and Barcelona were the only ones like I mentioned.
Spurs well and truly outplayed.
Mourinho's tactics is finished in top level football.

Deserved win for Leipzig. Despite the pressure from Spurs towards the end of the game, they didn't look all that threatening.
Great result for Leipzig, who had been hanging on in the end.
Great ref in the sp*rs game. Is he new?
Thought their stadium would solve all their issues
"Vintage" Mourinho performance. Well deserved win for Leipzig. Should have scored more.
5th place is hugely deceiving as well. Spurs are a mid-table side and have been for a while. Whereas Leipzig are deservedly challenging for the title. Game went as expected.
Well, it was always going to be difficult without Kane and Son - so no recognised striker at all - but we're not out of this tie yet.
So now we have to go to their place and beat them, which we're well capable of doing provided that both N'dombele and Lo Celso start the game in CM.

Mourinho's recent record in CL knockouts must be fecking awful.
Not with Jose Mourinho in charge you won't.
Pleasure to watch a well coached side
... But... But the Bundesliga is a shit league where teams can't defend at all and it's clearly the worst league among the 4 big leagues... At least according to the Haaland and Sancho threads around here.
Good result for Leipzig.
Werner had a bad game, this is not his usual level. As someone already said, his current form (no goal in the prior 5 games) is the worst in the whole season.
Imagine having that flashy modern stadium to be the home of that cr*ppy football.
His record in general cant be great reading.
Mourinho masterclass.
Leipzig were playing without 2 of their best players as well.
He's not been in the CL every season since but you have to go back to the 1/4 finals in 2014 against PSG for his last Champions League knockout win.
It's like he now becomes so paralysed with fear about what the opposition will do his teams line up in these big games in a completely negative defensive way and just wait to get beat.
Who were they missing? I'm not familiar with their team
All 3 of their first choice centre-backs (Konate, Upamecano, Orban). Upamecano has arguably been the best centre-back in Germany this year.
Assume they will be back for the second leg?
Still plenty to play for, didn't see much to worry about once we started putting them under pressure in the second half. Fingers crossed we can get a result in Germany.
I'd love to see how the arrogant "best league in the world" Premier League pundits spin it if all 4 teams go out at the R16 stage.
Cowardly set-up by Jose, parking the bus in the home leg of a european knockout tie is unacceptable, especially when going against a club of similar quality.
It's certainly possible. You had similar circumstances against Ajax last season and still got the job done. You have a manager far less likely to go all out this time around though.
Leipzig were literally missing their entire defence. Their injury problems are arguably worse than yours.

Upamecano will, the other two won't, I think.
