RB Leipzig vs Aston Villa post match thread.

[lovejoy]

Clears throat

“Oui”

Exists stage left.

I had the displeasure of watching Bein sports and listening to that fat hairy toad  keys ,  asking the question on whether Unai should be looking for a bigger club. .  Forgot how not missed on sky they are

Well he’d know all about leaving something (one)  to find something better….guy is an imbecile of the highest order

[Percy McCarthy]

I really enjoyed that. Thought we were exquisite going forward at times. Was expecting the post-match thread to be a tad more upbeat.

Martinez to blame for both goals. Came out when he shouldn’t and didn’t when he should have.

Rogers was back to his best, Duran was excellent and Bouba is the best player in the world.

This and...

Konsa isn't a RB then you've got the chuckle brothers next to him, good job it was only Leipzig tonight

Correct, he seemed to be playing RCB today.

Are the impact Openda had (who was excellent) first goal he was sharp and smart and made Emi, Konsa and Carlos look like mugs. 2nd goal his pace was still in Emi's mind and he tried to play safe by statying back and letting his defence clear up.

If we're looking for another attacking player in January someone with that sort of sprint speed would be a really useful addition to give us a point of difference if we counter quickly.

Yep, we should have bought him instead of Diaby. Him and Jackson were my picks. Then again we’d probably have sold them by now.

Kamara best player on the pitch. Elite player

Absolutely, 100%. He was easily the best player this evening. Everywhere on the pitch, and he reads the game so very well.

[BC54 VFC]

This interviewer on Amazon with Jhon is superb.

Yup, absolutely brilliant

Pure class. I was waiting for Jhon to ask her out on a date by the time the interview had finished...well, he may have for all the Spanish I know!

[Rory]

By chance, I've known lots of multilingual people in my time (far more women than men, incidentally), and yes it still impresses me because I struggle with English, but the ability to switch seamlessly between languages doesn't hold the same novelty for me that it once did.

I ask the bigger questions. Like, where does she buy her conditioner? Her hair is fucking impeccable, and you cannot fake that sheen.

I can't understand why Mings isn't in the defence. He was so commanding a week ago against Brentford and got Man-of-the-Match. Silly errors at the back need to be sorted out and Tyrone is the perfect choice. He a very good leader and puts in many clearances with headers and blocked crosses.

[Drummond]

I don't see Mings making a difference for the two conceded tonight.

I think he'll probably play in Saturday against Forest and it's just a case at the moment that he can't do two games in a week. 

Thought we were excellent going forward at times, but shambolic at the back at times as well.  Where we are in the league and now at the crunch time in the Champions League, we simply can't afford to be as poor as that at the back as it will end up costing us. 

[usav]

Not sure why people think having Mings in would have made any difference tonight.  Both goals were from balls over the top to Konsa’s side…..

[brontebilly]

I don't see Mings making a difference for the two conceded tonight.

I'm not sure he stops like Carlos did for the first, he would have more of a chance in a foot race than Carlos did for the second too. But it's not just the two goals, or the one Torres tried to gift them, when our defence was at sea the last 30 mins he would be organising people. That's where he is at his best. Konsa and Torres sunk late on and Carlos head was gone fouling everyone. There's no communication between them bar Konsa pointing fingers blaming others.

Emery needs to take criticism too. From commenting about Kosta going on loan yesterday, his decision to bring him on tonight nearly cost us. He was horribly out of his depth, sadly. There was no need for it either. Any of the centre backs could have been hooked without complaint to get Mings in. We could have shifted to a back 4 and moved Konsa over, taken off Torres.

Mings will have to come back in for Forest.

[Matt C]

Feels like an important win, not just for our Champions League hopes but overall confidence and momentum after we’d done so much well.

We continue to create plenty of chances but do need to be more ruthless, we should have had this one won by half time. Structure is infinitely better with Kamara in the team but we’re still leaving chasms of space in transition that we struggle to defend/causes us to panic and break out the clown shoes.

Kamara the obvious standout tonight but McGinn was excellent too.

[eamonn]

Kamara best player on the pitch. Elite player

Top draw - again

Is it draw or drawer?

The latter, but who cares. We all know what he means.

[LeonW]

Played some lovely attacking football at times. Let down by some poor finishing and then the Chaos Panda does what he does. But Carlos…my god. An absolute f*cking liability. We can’t be a serious team with him playing. We really struggled down the right once Cash went off.
