RB Leipzig

3-1 FT

Professional and deserved win there against the were-2nd placed team and that has pushed the Bulls into 5th ahead of Dortmund now but just away from 4th since Frankfurt gave Hoffenheim the length tonight. One more game to go then a huge break till near end of January to get some injured players back and some new signings in. Couple of friendlies lined up again. 12 games unbeaten and Tedesco in the rear view mirror.
 

RBL Matchday

Final official game of the year, till January 20th actually, and it's an away game to newly promoted but over-achieving Werder Bremen. Defensive injuries are plaguing the side this week so the break of the WC will be really good to get people back in shape - then again, loads of the team are called up. Depending on other results this weekend a win here could leave the team finishing the calendar year in 2nd place which is just mad considering they only won 2 of the first 7 league matches. Managed another strong settled lineup, mostly due to who is available, and no Kampl so rejoice! Be tough but 3 points is the target.

Game is LIVE from 14.30pm.





 

2-1 FT

Missed Schlager's winner but that result takes the Bulls to 2nd in the table currently but Freiburg, Union & Frankfurt can all change that - lowest they can drop is 5th.

Andre Silva opener:




Schlager goal, great touch from Silva:

 
RBL Matchday

Going to take a couple of hours off Everton since it's just gone bonkers and Leipzig are back next week officially but have a live friendly this afternoon against FD Mladá Boleslav (Czech I think). Not much to say about team news, it's basically using who is fit, trying out a couple of kids. Apparently Bayindir (15) and Eduardo (16) have been really impressive in the recent behind closed door friendlies (lost to Eintracht 4-2 and beat some random team like 15-0). The game will be 4x 25 minute quarters. Timo Werner back on the bench after injury. Nkunku still a month or so away.

General RBL news:

- All but confirmed Nkunku will go to Chelsea in the Summer for his £60m release clause. It's annoying they have to put these low release clauses in to try keep players for another year since he's worth double that but I guess it's guaranteed money every year and easier to manage the books.
- Also all but confirmed Laimer will go to Bayern for free in Summer. He was my favourite player, he's not my least favourite. Properly Barkley'd the club there.
- Gvardiol looks like he'll be staying beyond the Summer and has a +£100m release clause that can be activated in 2024.
- Olmo, who goes into last 12 months of deal this Summer, rumoured to be signing a new deal with a lowish release clause similar to Werner, Upa, Nkunku before him. If not he'll be sold this Summer.
- Eberl (new DoF) pretty much confirming there'll be no incomings this January but I wouldn't be surprised if deals aren't made that activate in the Summer like with Sesko.
- Naturally lots of midfield links with Laimer going with the most prominent being Manu Kone (Gladbach) who would be amazing and also Ardon Jashiri (youngster, less proven). Seen some links to other positions like Sutalo and Rafael Marin at CB but that position is less important if Gvardiol stays. Also linked to John Tolkin (LB) of NY Red Bulls, no idea if he's any good.
- Hugo Nova has gone on an 18-month loan to FC Basel for game time, Caden Clark is back and they're looking to send him out into Europe this time.
- Florian Scholz, commercial director, moving on to Red Bull itself. Replacement to be hired by Eberl.
