Looks like Liverpool are getting konate then.

Lot of money being spent on Leipzig’s centre backs considering they’ve been all over the place at when I’ve watched them in the ecl

Piatek and Milik are fine n all but without the big man they’re going to struggle to create a lot

I know what you mean regarding UCL but they’ve got the best defensive record in the league this year by some distance, basically all of that backline has the potential they just collectively need to step up to European elite level

Like Bayern are much leakier but they’re so good going forward that they get away with it, the only other team close to Leipzig in defence this year is Wolfsburg and lo and behold they are 3rd thatnls to a.combination of that and Weghorst

I think this is the point where someone is obliged to say Wastemen or farmers league.

Probably, if we’re still keeping up that shite patter :wink:

Probably my poor geography skills, but I didn’t realise Luxembourg had more or less twice the population of Iceland. Puts in perspective how much they were overachieving.

Looked it up and Leipzig have conceded the same amount as City (21) Wolfsburg (22) have a better record than the next best in the prem, Chelsea (25)

They conceeded 5 in a game against United :grinning:

It’s a futile exercise but the two leagues look pretty much the same this year, two teams clearly in the league, a slightly unexpected top 5 from a couple “smaller” teams overachieving, one team.clearly at the bottom adrift, a couple still fighting for survival.

Bayern and City have similar size and strangleholds over the league etc

Yes they did, and that was pretty frustrating because they are normally much better than that, but I feel Leipzig haven’t quite got into the mentality that they’re an elite club yet despite getting to the semis last year

Been reading Ken Early too aye? :smiley:

Can’t believe they’re only giving tickets to elite airline staff. Game’s gone.

Aguero’s leaving at the end of the season

Could be a good fit for the Cavani role at United
