You are correct though, the Leipzig team is average on the whole, and Nagelsmann is more like a young Bavarian Bielsa than a young Bavarian Klopp. He gets them overachieving in general though, and it's fun to watch. But Klopp's Dortmund were a much better team, and so are of course his Liverpool.Mukiele wasn’t the only defender making basic defensive mistakes. Upamecano seemed to be in dreamland too. And he was extremely poor at Old Trafford as well.
I don’t watch them play much. I really don’t care how good or bad they are overall. I’m just commenting on what I’ve seen in this season’s CL campaign. Which is a team that blitzes for the first 15 minutes of each half then looks more and more average as the game goes on, while making a series of rookie defensive errors. They certainly don’t look a patch on what Klopp’s Dortmund used to look like. They were seriously impressive in Europe. RB Leipzig are not.
No idea why people thought Leipzig could be a threat to Liverpool, probably due to the latter's recent poor form.
