Can we get a result at Leipzig?

[pratyush_utd]

Quite honestly I would be delighted to just make into in the draw even though it means potentially drawing a group winner

As mentioned by others, if PSG wins, we are always going to be 2nd. Head to head they are ahead

 

[Siorac]

Our record without Fred isn't amazing at all

Our record with him isn't amazing either. You'd be hard pressed to find a player who can boast an amazing record with the post-SAF United.

Anything but the Europa League.

 

[iammemphis]

My gut feeling is we'll play for the draw and play against a Leipzig team swamping us from the first minute. I'm not feeling positive.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Can we. Definitely

Will we.. Ha ha ha

 

[Hugh Jass]

Going to be our counter versus their possession game. I doubt we will put five past them like last time.

It is criminal though. We should never be in this position in the first place.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Will spank that Turkish lot we lost to.

I wouldn't be so sure. But it is likely

 

[TMDaines]

Leipzig have played 7, won 7, scored 18 and conceded 4 at home so far this season...

 

[Offside]

We need to start better though. Can’t be going 1-0 down like we always do. We’ve actually been losing in 9 out of our 14 games this season. That is really shocking.

 

[James Peril]

They are an average side managed by an exciting, tactical manager - we are a top team managed by an amateur manager, who knows on the day. With Werner gone and Klostermann injured, Sabitzer far away from fitness levels, maybe one of their players get into our team. One. They played Poulson as striker at Old Trafford, last year they had Werner. We should not be afraid of this game, but everything is possible. I think we’ll at least secure a draw if trailing in the second half, we’ve become better at the adrenaline thing when OGS’s FM-tactics are thrown out the window.

 

[PoTMS]

Question is if we lose to Leipzig, how many of you will want Ole out?

For me, he has to go if we fail to qualify from the position we were in. Not because of the result itself but because it's just more evidence of our non-progress with us always being the "nearly" guys, always taking one step forward, two steps back.

And before people point to Klopp, he actually won things with BVB and got to several finals before becoming successful at Liverpool. The best Ole can point to is pathetic semi final defeats.

 

[GenZRed]

Yes we can. Usual negative people will say the opposite though.

How on Earth can anyone be negative? What reason do they have? /s

 

[keithsingleton]

Doesn't matter if we get a result, you'll win nothing will Ole unfortunately

 

[redcafe_reader]

I hope I won't jinx it but since when we are "weak mentality in these types of games"? We actually did well in the past whenever our back is at the wall.

 

[Obiorahking_]

Honestly, theres a higher chance of the Turks whopping them than of us losing to RB. The Turks arn't an easy opponent by any stretch.

 

[2 man midfield]

We've left ourselves a lot to do when we should have had the group sewn up weeks ago. We've now got a cup final against Leipzig just 4 days before the Manchester derby.

 

[UmbroDays]

Confident that we will not get a win.

I think this is a difference type of pressure where the result actually count, rather than PSG away where if we had lost it wouldn't have really mattered.

I don't think we have the balls, to do a job. Remember how terrible we've been in the Prem

 

[CallyRed]

What's the point

 

[jamesjimmybyrondean]

This will be an exciting game for sure

 

[Foxbatt]

Of course we can get a result. Win, draw or lose is a result.

 

[Jonno]

What's the point

Exactly that

Depends. If we beat West Ham and City either side of that, it will feel one way. If we lose in Germany, then lose to City again at Old Trafford, it will feel awful.

 

[James Peril]

Definitely. We were good enough to beat PSG today if not for Martial missing sitters.

Leading, not beating. They hit the bar and scored before Fred the red, even at 2-1 they would have been huge favorites to score an equalizer with 30 mins left on the clock.

 

[Jonno]

bring on 90 mins of defending for our lives v Leipzig

 

[JJ12]

Leipzig have played 7, won 7, scored 18 and conceded 4 at home so far this season...

Luckily we fecked them 5-0 already. Not worried.

 

[Tom Cato]

Considering we could very well have beaten PSG comfortably tonight, I don't see a reason to be so pessimistic?

We didnt lose because we were outplayed. That is reason to be optimistic.

 

[Wilt]

Leipzig have played 7, won 7, scored 18 and conceded 4 at home so far this season...

Oo-er ...that dont look good

 

[Jonno]

We were largely better than PSG tonight. You can enjoy being negative if it helps you feel better. But we were very good and very fine margins is the difference between us being 2-1 up and them being 1-2 up.

 

[Matriac]

4 pages in 50mins, get out of here with this reactionary stuff. We won 5-0 against them last time OF COURSE we can get a result.

 

[Hansi Fick]

Yes, you can.

 

[Gordon S]

A bit more composure up front and we will win.

 

[predator]

Yes. We should've won tonight. We will spank leipzig 3-0 and the rest will be history.

 

[PSingh]

It’ll be nervy but I think we’ll just about do it.

 

[OleBoiii]

Anything can happen this season. Our players need to step up, though. Too many individual errors. Too sloppy in the attacking third.

 

[FootballHQ]

I hope I won't jinx it but since when we are "weak mentality in these types of games"? We actually did well in the past whenever our back is at the wall.

Think OP was thinking back to Basle 2011 and Wolfsburg 2015 for do or die CL away deciders in group stage. Have I missed any others out?

 

[Slik]

No, I think we literally have no chance of beating a team we put five past the other week.

I don’t know how some fans even think . Haha

 

[Crashoutcassius]

I'm not sure it's particularly encouraging to bring up a game we actually lost.

Not trying to encourage anyone, pointing out that we played great in our biggest game under ole

 

[Greck]

Play 10-0-0 formation at RB. Refuse to get knocked out and back playing trivia clubs on thursdays in the Europa league. Can't stand that cup. All those games for a cup that isn't even worthy of bragging rights

 

[Utd heap]

I genuinely fancy us to win by a couple.

They are a good side but nothing scary (abit like us in fairness) - but we have a bit more.

 

[Dominos]

It really is laughable that we've managed to put ourselves in this position. All we had to do was beat Istanbul. And I cannot believe the bottle job to lose against PSG tonight, the amount of missed chances, Fred throwing the game and Ole encouraging him to throw the game. I don't think any of our rivals could ever lose that game given how the match played out and how the game was there to be won comfortably.

This team are bottlers so I'm expecting us to say hello to Europa.
