The second half was poor, and we nearly gave the game away, to what was frankly a very shit team.

They had the one chance and scored. After that, we were back in full control.

I think you may be exaggerating things a bit.

Pep being annoyed with Erling and Ilkay is very different than the second half being a “disgrace”.

I'm not going to get into an argumement, but our second half today was piss poor, lomg before the penalty miss, too many players assumed the game was over at 2-0, no game is ever over at 2-0.

Ok. But we can agree that the second half wasn’t a “disgrace”, though, right?

I mean, if we are now using the second half performance as the benchmark for a “disgraceful showing”, I can only imagine how we should now describe games in which we don’t dominate for 89 minutes and win.

Maybe we’ve set expectations a tad too high when anything less than a mauling of the opposition is a “disgrace”?

It's funny/strange reading the comments. I only saw the 1st half, it was the early hours here, and we were completely dominant. I'm ashamed to say I fell asleep at HT. I thought I'd wake up to 3 or 4 nil. We were so good, especially after 7 changes.
Ahh well a scare but another 3 points, that's what counts now. Well done City !!

All wins at this time of the season when you’re going for the title are great wins. So many positives to come out of today’s game, basically another fantastic day to be a blue.

8 games to go, hopefully - enjoy every minute

You can, but no I thought most of the second half was a really piss poor performance, we were playing a pretty (no very) shit team, yet we had to hang on at the end.

Big that up however you want, they're very likely to go down, we ended up struggling to beat them, yet we should have have been 6 or 7 up by the time they scored.

Ok.

I just think your expectations that anything less than a mauling of the opposition is a “disgrace” may lead to avoidable anger, stress, and misery.

But to each their own.

Settle down big fella, you'll wind up pulling a hammy like Klopp...LMFAO

Kin ell, I am struggling to believe that people are taking issue with any part of our performance today. Team spirit giving Gundi his chance for his first hat trick. I will take that over all the moaning fanny wipes on here .. team spirit gets us closer to the grail, being a twat sows discord. End of the day Leeds were shit and apart from a few moments that we switched off had no hope in hell of getting that fat bastard closer to 3 million!! It’s never been so good!!!

It was recklass for me, the second half was pretty much a disgrace from the 11 on the pitch, given that most will not be playing on Tuesday night.

I hope Pep read them the riot act after they left the pitch, it was complacency that was misplaced, luckily we got away with it today.

Let's not overcomplicate things. If Haaland had been his usual self it would have been a bloodbath.
