The better team won, certainly, but we did give you a fright towards the end.

Was that when Fat Sam took his blazer off in injury time ?

I was certainly frightened watching on TV.

He'd frighten a Police horse.

I was mocked, pre-match, for my expected team selection. Now, granted, I had Phillips, Palmer and Gomez in my team but I also had Lewis, Gundo, Foden, Alvarez, Haaland, et al. The next time I pick something ludicrous, you can think again about mocking me: I was blinded by my combover while trying to get a glimpse of the Queen's ass.

Horseshoes and hand grenades, mate. ;-)

Exactly this. There is a reason for how we were playing in the second half. I think many simplify their assessment of performance too far, losing all context and acknowledgement that we would play differently if the circumstances were different.

Also, I don’t understand this assertion:


How exactly would a better team have punish us? We dominated for all but 60 seconds of the match when Leeds had to separate chances, the second of which they scored (which it self was a bit of a fluke goal).

I saw a few saying “can I say ‘one shot, one goal now’ in response to us conceding, despite the fact that it was the second shot, Eddie made a smart save to keep out the first shot, and there was really very little Eddie could have done with their goal.

As I said before, conceding one goal seems to skew reality for many blues out of all proportion. It shifts the performance in to a fantasy realm where we were “shite” or “unprofessional” or a “disgrace”.

I just don’t understand it.

It’s cliche after cliche on here most weeks.

Was surprised just how poor Leeds were really. Very passive. Expected them to be a bit more physical and in our faces. Probably about as easy a 2-1 that can be. Should really have been 4 or 5 at least.

If the referee hadn’t given the penalty, the most likely outcome is we’d have continued in cruise control, the game would have finished 2-0 and the consensus would be it was an ultra professional performance in terms of getting the game won early and conserving energy ahead of Tuesday night.

Everyone is of course entitled to their own opinion. My own is that if you think yesterday’s performance was in any way a “disgrace “ you’ve become more entitled than I ever thought possible amongst City fans.

I haven’t had time to read all the thread so I apologise if this has already been said. Plus I know there will be some who disagree with me but hey that’s life! All opinions count toward the whole picture.

I was extremely proud to be there yesterday to not only see a great win but also to witness an impeccable rendering of the National Anthem. Having heard about the debacle at the ground down the other end of the East Lancs ours made me proud. Actually as I knew it would.
Thanks fellow Blues.
