Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Leeds (29/11/25)

We should have had three more in the last few minutes of the first half. Shooting into the South Stand end it was weird to see so few fans left to see the action. It's crazy how many fans leave well before half time and then there was 3 minutes of extra time on top.

Earliest I’ve seen that sort of exodus before half time. Looked up from the pitch and it was half empty. Odd

Apologies as a I'm in the stadium so may have missed it, what were they checking the 2nd goal for? Who was 'offside?'

Gvardiol.
Just saw the VAR lines and very close.
It was a little like the " Dias" one and Newcastle last week. Gvardiol in the air and VAR dropping line down from his upper body.

I would really like to understand what they were checking for 3 mins on VAR for. Bernardo had absolutely no impact on play and there was nothing else even slightly questionable.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Would add a bit of height and muscle, something we've lacked in midfield this season.

I love his height and muscle. Purely from a footballing perspective, I'm old enough to be his nan!!

He's fab.

 

[dadnlad]

Reijnders also defensively doing more than I have ever seen him do in a half.

Hope he plays the full 90.

played ok se far

They had some dodgy graphics to manipulate

Beer o’clock?

According to Ally Mann on comms checking if Josko was offside? I've not got a river today so can't confirm or deny that info.

 

[wattle]

Supposedly Josko. Looked at it forensically, basically trying to find a reason to disallow...

It was pathetic. Any idea who’s on VAR? Checked on here to see if it was going to be off as obviously it’s a criminal offence to show it in the ground. Folks saying it wasn’t even close. That right?

Foul according to Keys and Gray

Apparently, Foden has now overtaken Yaya in our Premier League all-time scorers rankings.

Not according to a lot on here.

 

[TurboDuo]

It's worrying that Haaland didn't have a shot at all.

You see where you're going wrong there, don't you?

There was nobody even slightly offside apart from Bernardo.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Great. A back 5 now. 45 minutes of side to side from us.

Dear God somebody please try a long range shot.

 

[Allnightlong]

Listening to them?

 

[stan bowles]

Oh no...they're bringing on the male model.

As I said I'm going from comms no doubt we can see on highlights later. Main thing is it stands!!

No it's not. He is creating the space for Foden and Doku.
