The Leipzieg coach spoke very well in that pitch side interview a few mins ago, apart from saying soccer!

The stock response to this will be: "He only did that because he had to".

People, I assume, are also ignoring that Gedson's in the fucking starting lineup!
So if you don't count the times he does start young players, he never starts young players.
I think I've got it now.

Let's not knock Jose, but also let's not rewrite poch history like the other dude who claimed he couldn't win without Kane (y)
Apart from Line 9
where attention wandered
this is admirable
line formation.

Leipzig lining up with 19 year old CDM at centre back who's played 3 games this season..... That's got to be the weak point.

4-3-3? Or diamond? Not that there’s much difference when considering transition, I guess?

Leipzig playing a back 3 with only one centre-half... certainly will be an interesting match tactically!

Had a risky £1 bet that Serge could play the entirety of this match without a brain fart.

Not sure how much I'll win, still counting the zeros.

we were never gonna win that. And he wasn’t that big a gamble.

If Tanganga had played really badly or been utterly exposed by Liverpool then Mourinho would have been pilloried for gambling on a young, untested defender. Absolutely no way he was a sure thing to come in and play so well.

Well, at least they're almost as hamstrung as us. The playing field isn't as uneven as I thought it would be.

typical isn’t it, one of the weeks we have no recognised centre forwards to target it. ?

Absolutely fascinating what Jose just did. Got everyone into a huddle and had them break 3 times.
