Leeds (H) | PL | Post-Match Thread

[HorlocksWalk]

The sky sports camera shouldn’t be allowed into pre match team huddles like they did today for ours

At least Gundog did not say "No slip ups!"

Valuable lesson learned. Won't happen again.

.... and if Carling did weekends both Newcastle and West Ham win tomorrow.

I can see both of them ending in draws. Which would do nicely!

Odd day. Started with a few gobby Leeds walking round the ground and me thinking someone is going to lamp someone. Lo and behold one blue put two Leeds fans on their arses in front of entrance Y. Then sat and watched an utter dismantling of a PL side by a not full strength City. Should have beem four by half time and eight by the end. They were lucky to get one and give us a nervy few minutes. Haaland won’t miss so many chances again and he won’t be giving penalties to others at 2-0. But four points clear with four to go and if Carling did weekends both Newcastle and West Ham win tomorrow.

The first 11 had never started a game together before today....and could’ve scored EIGHT @ a training session pace.

3 points

1 less game.

Key players rested

Fat Sam on his arse.

As you were.

City since being charged by the PL and since Pep’s sensational press conference where he defended the club admirably:

WWDDWWWWWWWWWWDWWWWW

They lit the fire.

Good result. Better for something like that penalty incident to happen now than on Tuesday.

Irrespective of whether Haaland chickened out or Gundogan asserted his authority with the armband, it'll get resolved and won't happen again.

couple of weeks ago, pep said he left it up to the players to decide who took the pens,, so i presume today he told the team, that haaland was to take them, so he SHOULD have taken it, gundo had a good game , but was out of order, we could have ended up drawing the game. i would have haaland taking pens before gunders, every time.

Too many bloody draws. The modern day Sparky.

Just got in. An absolute throwback to the typical City of old today, the only difference being was we won.

Two great strikes from Gundo, we were in absolute cruise control but you always sensed if we didn't score a third there was a twist in the tale and so it proved. There were a couple of nervy moments just after Gundo scored the second. Then near the end their long ball was causing a bit of panic. Soft goal to concede, the defence and Akanji in particular has to do better. Haaland channeled his inner Darwin Nunez today and Phil missed a couple. Still three points is all that matters. On paper we've won our easiest three of the run in and put the pressure firmly on Arsenal. Come on you Geordies!

On the bus outside the ground after the game I noticed there was a bit of fisticuffs, the police leading some people away.

Anyone who went to away games n the 70s knows that every club had its maniacs in vast numbers. At Elland Road, maniacs filled all four stands. But you know what, I prefer the noise and atmosphere that comes with fans like Leeds fans as it kick-starts our fans into raucous mode which is what Pep wants.

Gundo is a good pen taker - albeit he goes for the side netting. But from now on, Haaland will take all pens.

What was it with Phillips going over to the Leeds fans - blowing kisses… etc. I think he needs to focus on the job in hand… he’s joined our team and contributed next to fuck all.

He’s actually contributed fuck all.
