Really enjoyed last night, good game of football helped by a brilliant referee who just let the game flow, I think he recognised we were two attacking teams and just let us get on with it, a lesson to be learnt for our puppet stringed refs in the EPL,
So pre-match we were all slightly concerned how it would turn out, will we score, we need to score, will we suffer more injuries? In the end though it was just another day at the office as some ‘Chaser’ bloke would say, and it was really, RB were decent for 30 mins out of the 95, especially that first 20 mins, if I’m honestly I was concerned, but then we got a foot hold, passed it around somewhere near our best and slowly started to dominate,
It could have turned out differently had RB found the net instead of Ali’s post, and that was as close as they got to be fair, we on the other hand on another night could have had a hat full, imagine that same game where we would be at full strength, Virgil et al, I think RB blown away would have been a appropriate headline,
So we’re almost through, a early goal in the second leg and it’s done, and into the hat for the next challenge, by which time we hope we will be better equipped to deal with whoever we have to deal with, perhaps a more tougher opponent than RB Leipzig, who were, may I remind you, we were concerned about,
Could it be argued we’ve turned yet another corner ?

There were 7 bookings during the game, I've seen games better reffed before.
As always, scorelines dictate responses after games. Until 78 minutes at Leicester, we played well, but it was what happened after that, that got the headlines. The City game was more or less the same. I didn't think it was a great performance in this one tbh, we simply took our chances and they didn't take theirs, but other than that it was a very even game, and we still have work to do before the tie is done. But if we get there, other teams will put away the chances in later rounds that Leipzig didn't. So if we can get VVD back after the next international break, get him back. We could have 15 games still to play between then and the end of the season.
