Match Ratings Ratings vs Leipzig

[Yid]

MOTM for me was Sanchez - he had a massive job yesterday and he delivered.

Also, a lot of people on here complaining about Jose's tactics but i'm going to play devils advocate for a moment.

Last night was the epitome of risk mitigation (or damage limitation).
It wasn't pretty to watch - oh man it really really wasn't pretty but i feel i understand what Jose was trying to do.
Firstly i don't think he has full confidence in our defence or our midfield so he gets everyone to play deep - almost 'parking the bus'.
Secondly, in terms of attack he knows we're almost playing on fumes - so limited our counters too.

Arguably this was actually the right option - Leipzig are full of confidence at the moment and with Werner and Schick they have players who are quick and love to run into space.

We needed a 'safe' result yesterday to have any chance of progressing and yes that probably meant 0-0.

The fact is Jose seems to be doing what he thinks is right with the team he currently has. I honestly think things will be massively different next season when we see new players come in - HIS players come in.

Spot on mate. And as far as MOTM, I also give it to Dave. Hugo being close second for me.
