Bizarre Leipzig

260

Leipzig are going through a period of remarkable results.  An 0-8 cup win against lower league opponents, then a 4-0 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt and a 1-4 home loss to Shakhtar that precipitated the start of new manager, Marco Rose.

Rose began with an impressive 3-0 win over Borussia Dortmund and a credible performance in Madrid before losing two late goals to Real.  Borussia Monchengladbach beat Leipzig 3-0 two weeks ago gave Rose lots to consider ahead of the international break, which they returned from with a 4-0 over bottom placed Bochum on Saturday.

I only watched the game against Monchengladbach but suspect it was one of a few bizarre results that did not reflect the flow of the game.  We should not be reassured by this period.

  1. Liverpool will get a hiding off Arsenal and City during the next ten days. They’re nowhere near the levels they were at.

  2. the mad one was prattling on some random shite earlier about celtic plc missing out cos some guys kid is getting a trial at queens park cos maestor recommended him to sir willies new team, and we are sleeping cos clyde are going to crownpoint.

    Wouldn’t have minded drawing Liverpool in our group.

     

     

    ———

     

     

    thought the exact same, not as good as they were at all

  4. Liverpool are a very poor team….they will need to win the Champions league to qualify for Europe next year…. They won’t qualify from the Premiership, What’s happened to Virgil? …and that Darwin Nunes is a waste of money …

  5. bournesouprecipe on

    The quietest European match ever at Anfield. Liverpool have wasted a fortune and sold a better player in Mane, not a patch on the side they were

  6. RTÉ commentator just summed up the game, ‘billed as the Battle of Britain but it wasn’t a battle, Rangers were completely outclassed’

     

    Something you won’t read or hear in Scotland I’d imagine.

  7. Clear hand ball in the inter Barca game not given for Barca. Considering there’s VAR, it’s an inexplicable decision. Inter very lucky.

    Careful. Don’t let fiction belittle facts.

     

     

    Not good.

     

     

    Discuss.

    Rangers are making great strides in Europe.

     

     

    Last 3 results…

     

     

    0-4

     

    0-3

     

    0-2

  10. That was the first time Liverpool played a new system, they still managed to make a ton of chances against a team who played with 7 defensive players.

     

     

    Until the last ten minutes it looked like the Huns had played them into form.

     

     

    The Huns were pathetic, if I was them I wouldn’t take anything positive away from that game. Abject syrrrnder

  11. Liverpool were awful ,The Beast had 1 good save in the second half,don’t believe the hype,and the cowardice the huns disolayed ton

    Hello again all you young rebels

     

     

    So sad to hear of the passing of a fine contributor to this

     

    dear green place.

     

    Had many chats on here with Neustad Braw over the years

     

    especially about his place of residence and the Celtic pre

     

    season tours there which I attended.

     

    Condolences to his family and friends.

     

    Not so braw.

    Whilst I agree with that part totally, what a load of crap otherwise. Complete West Brit dung. Talked about the Old Firm and never once mentioned the singing of the Sash or God save he Queen or is (it EL’s hero) the KIng?

     

     

    Oh Dear God, take down the flag you Irish……………….

  14. Joe, if you are looking in, I totally agree about EL and the social influencers.

     

     

    Thank you for the books – too much by far.

     

     

    See you soon.

    So glad you and Joe worked out a time and place to meet

     

    nothing beats a good book.

     

    Luvin your pics of times gone by and old players, can get

     

    most of them, but the bhoys on here are too quick for me

     

    Lol.

  16. Didn’t see the game, but love the result. Sevco where they belong, firmly anchored at the bottom with nil points. I wonder if they will be fending off offers for their star striker this January.

  17. My friends in Celtic,

     

     

    One of the benefits of the Virgin XL package is that you get BT sport.

     

    The CL is nominally the elite football competition.

     

     

    Not according to the fare put up by Liverpool and ” Rangers ” Frankly it was dire and full of B’s.

     

     

    Boring, bad, barren,blundering, bad tempered and bullsh@t.

     

     

    Liverpool were bogus and the huns were bankrupt.

     

     

    Beautiful game- Bollocks

     

    Bouncy – More like burnt out.

     

     

    The huns are deservedly bottom

     

     

    Tonight I will watch Ange’s team bloom We will be ballanced but bold, Brawn combined with brightness.

     

     

    Our fans will display banter, not bile.

     

     

    We will demonstrate we belong.

     

     

    HH and COYBIG.

  18. I’m sure Ange’s plan is to make sure we give Leipzig something to think about and take pressure off our defense.

     

    A good fast start is what’s needed

  19. Anyone see the Inter handball last night that wasn’t given as a pen for Barca ?

     

     

    In the era of VAR it was an inexplicable decision. I’m always very cynical when officials give calls like that in favour of an Italian team…

  20. Well after watching The Rangers embarrass themselves with a back 5, 2 holding midfielders and not being able to make 3 consecutive passes until the second half, let’s play our game tonight and attack. Because otherwise, what’s the point ?

  21. Morelos is crap. However, I don’t know why wee Gio bothers to select a striker given how he sets his team out in the CL. They have zero attacking intent and really shouldn’t waste a position by selecting a striker. Morelos just had to beat 4 Liverpool players every time he got the ball last night (which wasn’t often because most of the time the ball was kicked aimlessly into the Liverpool half and not to him).

     

     

    I’d be fuming if a Celtic manager played in such a way. It’s Homer Simpson boxing tactics translated into football.
