Leeds United (A) | Post Match Thread

Lovely win and a great performance in patches. We got sloppy when we went three up and we need to cut that out. Subs had no real impact at all, especially Phil and Cancelo. Got to be Foden and Grealish against Everton, no more Mahrez
 
Twatwell indeed, a fucking joke of a ref.
Saw a fly land on Gnonto, fell over, free kick Leeds.
Just really glad we twated them in spite of the dodgy ref.
Well done City !!
 
Not the best of displays & very wasteful against a spirited, but poor by comparison Leeds side.

All the effervescence of a week ago seems to have evaporated & we rarely picked up the pace beyond what was necessary.

Grealish had a poor & very negative first half, but a far better second, especially the times when he moved central. This is something we need to look at, because our left rarely offered a threat.

Mahrez was also pretty negative & I can't actually remember him actually taking a player on. With both Grealish & Mahrez not taking the man on, I wonder if this was on Pep's orders?

Two well taken goals from Haaland & another very good performance from Lewis. My MoTM though was KDB. It wasn't his best game, but he was our best & most effective player.

The three points was the most important thing, so objective achieved.

The mid-season World Cup factor was going to be telling, & it seems the teams who had multiple players there have picked up from where they've left off.

The jeopardy will come later in the season as the games pile up, injuries, loss of form & suspensions start to bite & the fatigue of a long hard season sets in.

contradiction again. ' No impact today especially Phil ...' "Got to be Foden .....against Everton" What are you saying???

Fair point but did you think we played well? I’d say about 60%

I thought we were good, yeah. Not a vintage performance, but after a six week break, missing key players, in tricky conditions and a tricky away ground about as good as it gets. Kept Leeds at arm's length, and bury one or two more of the missed chances and we be singing their praises.

My word, that is the most idiotic opinion I have heard for a long time, say he had missed, we would,and Pep would have gone fucking mad at Jack. It was great play from him.

Yes indeed - it was only 1-0 at the time and if he'd been greedy and not scored he'd have been toast. Did the right thing and laid it on a plate for Erling.

Next game:

LW Alvarez
RW Palmer

Get Foden and Bernie into the midfield and give Gundogan and KdB some rest.

I’d go to what that. de Bruyne has run his bollocks off in the last two games and we have some tough games coming up where we’ll need him.
 
Good first league match after the world cup, should of scored a few more, thought our support was brilliant, 3 points in the bag, gonna pour myself a brandy.

Why do they have these useless split arses on…..they give a bad name to the ones that know what they’re talking about

Some of the female pundits are excellent and it’s good they are being given the opportunity to present their perspective. But please, Aluko is dreadful and does nothing to enhance the reputation of female pundits.

It'd be worrying if we ran him into the ground in what will be a very congested season from now... just against Everton... we shouldn't need him against Everton.
 
Im not Mahrez biggest fan but the amount of times he was free and waiting for yet another slow ball out to him was unreal.
I know the pitch was slow but surely you put some zip on it then, Mahrez could have sat down and read a paper waiting on the ball to reach him
