RB Leipzig

He's really good. Last season he was the best finisher and Europe which prior to that he was not.

Of course not, stuck second fiddle behind everyone at Barca. Lethal at Valencia before the move.

Tough one today mate, Union Berlin first game ever in the Bundesliga?

@München Blue

Yup first ever top flight game for them so they’ll be understandably all fired up for it. Fans are apparently boycotting first 15 minutes which is just pathetic so will see how the atmosphere is. Hardly helps the team’s first Bundesliga match when the home crowd aren’t even there for quarter of an hour.

Never seen them play so not sure if they’re any good. Can always slip up against a promoted team but should have far too much in the locker for them otherwise.

I think it's against Sunday evening Ko. Dortmund do similar protests (tennis balls) Fair play to the fans I say. Real fans not your sky armchairs.

Read it’s against Leipzig but could be that too.

First Bundesliga lineup of the season:

 

[Nymzee]

Won’t know for sure but my first guess is:

Gulacsi
Mukiele Orban Konate
Klostermann Kampl Demme Halstenberg
Sabitzer
Poulsen Werner​

Looky looky, Mr Ratfink isn’t even on the bench. Wasn’t mentioned as an absentee in the presser either so must just not be good enough.

Opposing lineup:

So they paid 22.5m and he hasn't made the squad?

I did say he’d struggle for game time. He’s not as good as the attacking players in that match squad yet.

Thought he'd be an option off the bench atleast

Nkunku
Laimer
Forsberg
Haidara
Cunha

All better than him in any of the positions RBL could use him (tried him out wide in a friendly and it did not go down well with Nagelsmann).

It's starting to look silly that they came back for him without finding out if Nagelsmann thought he could use him

It’s only the opening day and a long 3-competition season ahead. If he’s any good or wants to get better then he’ll work hard and make the squads.

Basically the same situation at Everton.
