Leeds (H) | Post Match Thread

Hey if you want to stick up for sterling crack on fella and the only one I thought should have been sold was stones who was shocking then aswell . Stones has been standout all season and I’m glad I got it wrong
I just believe Sterling, due to his consistent top level performances (prior to this season), is allowed an off season (especially in such a strange, congested year off the back of playing a ridiculous amount of football).
If he doesn't get back to his electric best next season then there are some serious issues.

Sterling's poor form is still far stronger than Gundo's, Stones' or even Mahrez's worst seasons.

I think we should be okay going into the CL and FA Cup and I’d have sacrificed this game to make sure we win them but some of these players are on a lot of money and they aren’t up to scratch


let's flip that.
rack up the points and win the league asap. then rest as many as you like . put the best 11 out in every cup game .

maybe Pep thinks if we played our strongest players today we might have won but would up our chances of being out of both cups come Monday
 
They had 10 men for half the game, we had at best 9 for all of it. Profligate yet again, and we will continue to be this season as we have been for some time. If Haaland is done then at least we have a solution. Distinctly poor day at the office, but it can happen. Let's dust ourselves down, clear our heads and look forward to the much bigger occasion (and challenge!) ahead of us next week.
 
I don’t even think this was on Pep. More on personnel with a sprinkle of Pep
Of course it’s down to the players. If we convert just a few of those 29 attempts we win this game easily and everyone is congratulating Pep on being a tactical genius and saving all our best players for Wednesday. Sometimes it just doesn’t go your way.
 
I think people who post we lost today because of Pep being too arrogant might just be the most stupid of all stupid people.
Pep is the first manager to lose all games because he both talks up the opposition in pre-match pressers and is too arrogant. Even when we win games this is a problem, he's a fraud and we should get rid of him. At least according to our fans.
 
You just cannot make 7 changes and expect the team to perform just fine. Especially when 5 or 6 of the changes are downgrades. I said to myself "we're going to lose this", after about 5 minutes and I am no genius.
 
Warning shot today to Pep - he has to be careful, I expect the Rags to win tomorrow and the gap to be 8 points when they win their game in hand.
Villa & Palace tricky games but good thing is they don't have anything to play for, however the 4 after that against Chelsea, Newcastle, Brighton & Everton are the games when the opposition will have things to play for.
History tells us that an 8 point lead with 6 games to go can go horribly wrong.
 
i got stick on here for saying sterling mendy jesus would not turn up and not give 100% today for missing out on starting champions league game midweek but the whole team besides stones was shocking

this result was coming for weeks and its the lack of goals or striker. am praying in the summer for haaland
but the truth is we need 2 strikers not just haaland. sterling is finished at city. jesus is not a striker. torres is not suited to premier league football

the media rave about this city squad. but the truth is they who don't play kick the dummy out of the pram when they are picked in meaningless games in the premier league and cups games. if we keep playing this 2nd string the lead in the league come down fast. utd will keep getting help and dodgy pens and say thank you for the 3 points

pep should be all over the players in the dressing room it was not good enough and you got shown up to a team that played with 10 men for the whole of the 2nd half ? if was pep i would be offering the door to mendy sterling jesus right now and say fuck off and don't come back

forget winning anything other than the premier league just get the title in the bag and then rebuild in the summer
we are not that good a squad people think we are. over paid players are taking up spaces on the bench that youth could be used. there is 3 or 4 good youth players good enough right now for a place in this squad

mendy sterling jesus aguero garcia torres thank you and good bye
Torres has been here 5 minutes but the rest just not good enough at the minute
 
If the rags pick up 3 points tomorrow, I’ll be seriously worried. Villa away, Palace away, Chelsea competing for the CL places, struggling Newcastle and struggling Brighton are all tough fixtures to come for us. Don’t get the over confidence on this forum. Not over by a long way in my opinion.
and on top of this, our performances are nowhere near as good as they were until March.
