Will be a good test, we should be able to handle them over two legs with our makeshift/academy CBs imo

Shouldn't be hard for us as I don't particularly rate Leipzig but our incremental rate of injuries is worrying so who knows what squad we will field by the team we face them.

Two feisty, tasty, ties

Teams

RB Leipzig: Gulacsi; Mukiele, Klostermann, Upamecano; Adams, Haidara, Kampl, Angelino; Nkunku, Olmo, Sabitzer.
Subs: Tschauner, Orban, Konate, Poulsen, Hwang, Sorloth, Samardzic, Kluivert, Halstenberg, Hartmann, Henrichs.

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Kabak, Henderson, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Jones, Thiago; Mane, Salah, Firmino. Subs: Adrian, Kelleher, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Tsimikas, Shaqiri, Origi, Davies, R Williams, Phillips, Cain, Clarkson, N Williams.

One change for Liverpool from that late horror show at Leicester – Thiago replaces James Milner, who has a hamstring injury.

Leipzig are a class below, simple as that

Upamecano’s passing has been disastrous, good lord. From Alaba to this…yikes

That's not really typical of him, though. His mind is probably in Bayern, already.

I don’t know if this was meant as an excuse but it makes him look even worse. On top of sucking today you are telling me he is not even focused on his job

Game over I guess

Another hopelessly naive CL performance by Nagelsmann

probably the biggest let down today. I was hoping to see a smart tactical approach to make up the talent difference but nothing

Nagelsmann doesn't do anything but full on attack, no matter who's the opponent
He's much more Bielsa than Klopp tbh

great stuff on the whole though

they did have chances tbh. The players just simply did not take any of them. I guess out of those 3 or 4 good chances, only 1 save had to be made by Alisson.

We have seen enough signs of Henderson should not be at CB. I dont know how long Klopp will continue with that shit thought process.

I was really disappointed by Upamecano. Many of the misplaced passes were not even under pressure.

We wouldnt have signed him anyways as we have decided to wait till we find out whether Kabak can be a real deal under Klopp.

I don't know why you'd assume that I have any reason to make excuses for him. You're free to believe that he sucks.

I didn't watch the game, seems like his players let him down? Two massive mistakes from the backline.

Did someone from GL write this tweet?

@Thimmy somehow I find it strange why you keep having and  expressing this fixe idee that ONLY and ESPECIALLY on GL hyperbole, knee jerk, rushed judgement and casually thrown out judgements occur, and why it bugs you so much that it does.

We write smart stuff, we write dumb stuff, we write funnily dumb stuff, we repeat dumb stuff as a running gag, we change our minds, we overcommit, we rant, it's what we do.

Get over it, it's normal, it's not that serious

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care at all. The football discussions on here have become more serious and on topic than ever, but they’ve still somehow regressed. Kneejerking is just as alive now, as it was when some of our members were in their early teens.

GL has become like a friend that just won’t ever mature. You might know a thing or two about that, being a 40s something guy who can’t wait for a chance to say «u mad, bro?».

Now, now - 40 something?!
Also, please find a post of mine where I write "u mad, bro?"

Calm down Thimmy

Dont be boring and insipid like your buddy Ole

It's just for fun and laughs. And it's exactly how it should be imo.

I have never met a guy who is so sensitive when you speak to him about his father as Thimmy is about Ole

Two gifted goals

Needed this confidence booster

Have we not considered the fact that maybe Ole IS Thimmy's father?

And Thimmy its just what makes GL Unique as a lot here is not meant to be taken seriously. I love it in fact and a big part of you does too.
