Match Thread | Man City vs Leeds (06/05/23)

[WorthlessPoster]

We've been very good today.

 

[Blu1]

Could & should be at least 4.

Phil very rusty so game time crucial today

Rico settling down well now too.

 

[ManCityGR!]

Apart from Chelsea, this Leeds team is the most depressing team I have seen for this season.

Let's hope this continues and to win comfortably, and our players should remember that this is NOT over yet!
We have to secure the victory with 1-2 more goals so they should not relax.

 

[christened at st marks]

God the space they are giving Gundo is insane

 

[Don Karleone]

Perfect first half

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

Should have been 4 or 5.

Yep. Bit too ponderous and miss some opportunities sometimes.

 

[TonyM]

Gundogan Rescues City from Allardyce Masterplan.

 

[OntarioBlue]

We were very very good that half. Two great goals and it could easily have been three more.

Absolute master class from Gundogan.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Really impressive 45. Only disappointment is the lack of goals. This should be 5 or 6 already.

Gundo absolutely bossing the middle of the park, and being well supported by Rico. Leeds don’t seem to know what to do with the double pivot.

Haaland doesn’t have his shooting boots on at all but I would expect him to put that right in the 2nd half. Alavarez looks a bit off it.

Leeds are absolute shite and are no less wide open than they have been in the previous weeks.

 

[Tourist since 1971]

It is truly amazing we can change so many players and the quality and pattern of play stays the same. PIG. Pep is god.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Please, Pep, don’t hook Haaland at halftime.

For the sake of my cash FPL H2H match, as I captained him (the law I am playing this round is second in the league and captained Salah) and this could clinch the league for me!

 

[remember arthur mann]

BFS cunning plan has kept Erling quiet but he forgot about Gundy.

EVERY time I hear the "follow you everywhere" chant I think of my season-card holding family members who've castigated me and essentially "thrown me out of the family" for smoking weed :) I hope they're squirming EVERY time it's sung :) SMUG JUDGMENTAL CUNTS! :)

 

[abu13]

Good half but Haaland unusually wasteful, should have had a hat trick in that first half, get to 3:0 and then get a couple of changes made.

 

[super_city_si]

seems like a stroll so far too So no need to make subs too early.

 

[svennis pennis]

Absolutely fantastic. Gundogan making the game look unbelievably easy, slows time down.

Minor thing but Alvarez needs to work on releasing the ball sooner, noticed it a bit this season, he tends to take an extra touch to settle himself, the biggest example today was in not releasing Haaland, a simple pass after his first touch, but took another and completely broke down the move. It’ll come in time of being here though.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Not bad first half.
Haaland decision making and finishing apart.
Alvarez hasn’t got a simple pass in him either.

Other than that though, we’ve been perfect.

Vintage Gundo on display today.

I like Rico too. Phillips could learn from him. He doesn’t hide.

 

[bluemoon32]

Hopefully that record breaking striker can come on 2nd half, the guy playing instead of him aint much good...

 

[Bluemanc100]

Is confirming a like a double like?

Strange new forum feature..

 

[Bluearmy]

Hard to complain but it should be 4 or 5.

Yep, thats the only negative. 4 would have been fair considering the missed chances. Haaland missed a hatful of chances over the last couple of weeks
