Our team is so much superior than RB, but RB Leipzig is much better coached. I expect this game to go like the Brighton game. I expect our individual quality to show through and give us the victory, but RB will look like a much better coached side.

That would be the narrative if we win, draw or lose. If we win it's because of our individual quality. If we draw or lose it's because they're better coached. They made the CL semi final last season ffs. No team without 'individual quality' would do that.

 

[Amadaeus]

So you think we get a pen after the final whistle?

ok not that similar. I m just expecting RB to show us what a good coached side looks like. I have high expectations of Nagelsman. If potter and Biesla can have average players looking good, then I expect Nagelsman can do the same with RB

 

[croadyman]

Pleased with this. I am glad that Bruno, Rashford, and McT get to rest a bit. I wish Shaw could get a rest, but oh well, he can rest during the next international break.... (boom roasted)

Also glad to see Donny and Pogba.

Shaw could have got a rest tonight if Telles had managed to keep away from the injury curse but within a week he has been struck by it

Dont forget 'patterns of play' if we don't score a goal from open play.

Interesting lineup. I like it though. Should be strong enough to win the game, although I'm not convinced we will. Could be close. I like how we've been able to rest Rashford and Fernandes and yet it still looks strong. Our squad is looking better for sure. Concerned that Telles seems to be injured already though.

 

[Volumiza]

Everyone seems to think Lindleof is out. If he ends up playing, you all owe me 1 point each in the lineup prediction game.

Well let’s hope Ole shows him what a well coached team looks like too!

 

[croadyman]

Given the way we tend to set up and Maguire's shortcomings, I'd rather have Konaté (caveat emptor: Konaté is coming back from a fairly serious muscle/hip flexor injury).

Yeah I feel the same as well

 

[youmeletsfly]

Good lineup, let's fecking go.

 

[Adnan]

What do you think of RBL team?
As you predicted, Forsberg and Olmo both starting And Kampl and Henrichs

and what about ours?

It looks like he's gone 3-4-2-1 with Olmo and Forsberg operating just behind Yussuf Poulsen which I predicted. Nagelsmann starting Konate tells me that he's gonna push the back line up and sacrifice defensive stability for goals. He's coming for the win.

In our line up I'm just hoping we stay disciplined and occupy the space and test Konate who has played very little football for over a year so will likely be rusty. I wasn't expecting Matic to start but understand Ole's decision to rotate the squad to keep players fresh. But it looks like we're gonna try and counter them by exploiting the space in behind but our fullbacks will have to support the attackers at every opportunity IMO.

Yep, be good to see if it works and gives us options going forward.

Should be, but it's not as strong as some are making it out to be. Take Pogba and Martial out, maybe they have an off game, and it's pretty mediocre. I actually had this fixture pinned as a loss when I first saw it, but they've been having some injury problems of their own and aren't at their best. It should be a close game.

 

[FrankDrebin]

I see BT have Mr Charisma himself Paul Scholes on the panel.

 

[Berbasbullet]

LETS GOOOO

 

[Adam-Utd]

Sheesh konate is an absolute unit

 

[Catt]

Leipzig should win this 5-0.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Leipzig should win this 5-0.

Get back out the catt flap

 

[peridigm]

That is a janky looking lineup. Going for a 2-0 win.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

Black shorts at home. Eww.

 

[fergosaurus]

Very interesting lineup, hopefully VdB grabs his chance and plays well which I think he will. Strong bench too if we need it.

 

[TrustInJanuzaj]

Sheesh konate is an absolute unit

I thought the same!

 

[RedDevil@84]

So no slide tackle then

 

[48 hours]

Brave of the ref to raise his fist to Harry

 

[Ludens the Red]

Matic and Pogba better be on their toes with RB’s high and constant press.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

If Naglesmann ever becomes our manager he can never wear that suit again.

 

[RedDevil@84]

I thought we were playing the diamond. Oh feck

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

Konate and Upamecano are two of the best CBs in Europe. They will dominate Martial and Greenwood and will show up Lindelof and Maguire. I’m expecting a draw.

Yeah especially when you look at his low amount of injuries in the last few years it's concerning to say the least

 

[FrankDrebin]

God ain't going to help you Fred.

 

[VidaRed]

I like ole's jacket

 

[Sandikan]

Great to see Van Beek start. Really needs to feel involved.

 

[Sea-Cow]

I am expecting absolutely nothing from Martial and Greenwood. They will get bullied tonight.

Greenwood gets a pass because he is still a kid and hasn't fully developed. Martial though, is just soft and will not have the stomach to muscle up against Konate and Upamecano.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Can see the diamond shape already

 

[Bobade]

Another ridiculous outfit from Julian.

Like our line up tonight.

 

[Ramshock]

Wheres Telles!

 

[Jazz]

Bruno..?

 

[Oo0AahCantona]

4231 whelp

 

[Bobade]

Another ridiculous outfit from Julian.

Like our line up tonight.

 

[Random Task]

Watch Upamencano have the greatest game of his life.

 

[Jazz]

Gonna be hard match this one.
