I guess our cushion earned was for games like this.

Still puzzled why Pep would not put at least one player out there who could beat a man. What are we going to do when we get to the penalty area? You need a Mahrez, Foden, KDB.

No urgency. Getting the man sent off probably made it worse. Just coasted. That's football. You underperform you get punished. It's as it should be .

Said it before the game - don't play Ake and Mendy together in the back four and don't play Zinc in midfield.
If you p1ss around with team selections in the Premier league you will get caught out even against ten men.

Think most of us on here knew this was coming if he made all these changes. He didn't learn his lesson from the West Ham game.
Sooner the better people start realising our so called squad isn't as good as made out.
Pep today was fucking pathetic taking this Leeds team for granted! Another day weee he lets players last 90 minutes for going fuck all whilst you still have Mahrez and De Bruyne sitting on the bench!

So if we get knocked out on Wednesday what was the point of resting players today! Play your best team get the job done and then make changes.

I did expect a better performance but the world and his wife could see after 50 minutes that some players were shit and that should have been addressed by Pep,but poor substitutions didn`t help our cause.

 

[Keeper!]

same was said about stones and cancelo last season. Sterling has proven how good he can be

you talk in the past tense, very appropriate for Sterling, he is done with us.

There was nothing wrong with the line up. We are Manchester City, the best team in the land, in all the world. We have enough great players for two good teams. It just didn’t happen on the day. Sometimes it doesn’t. We regroup and carry on. IMHO

Cancello had two chances to clear that ball before they scored. What a stupid air kick he does and all his crosses were at the keeper all day. He was shocking. As for Sterling an imposter was playing. We should get rid.

Agreed... Cash in now

Fernandhino is always suspect when left as the last man .(e,g Brazil v Germany)
Sterling and Jesus could not score even if Leeds had gone off.
Bernardo has gone backwards (again).
Cancelo and Torres not playing enough to know if they're rusty or just shit..
Mendy -why even bother.
They had 3 chances we had 28 ...but we don't need a striker.

Today exposed what we all know that, despite all the media hype, there are still plenty of weak spots in our squad. We have so much to do to get over the line in some of these competitions.
We are still very vulnerable down our left-hand side whatever formation we play. A lot of Pep's tactical changes today were just to compensate for this problem. The combination of Ake, Zin (who has been good this season mostly) and Mendy is just a disaster waiting to happen.

There’s sufficient gap between 12.30 Saturday and 8 Wednesday evening not to do too much rotation. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does the same against Chelsea.

Sorry Fernandihno didn't do well. Lost Dallas on

How can Leeds have 1 shot on target when they scored 2 goals?

First one hit the post, counts as a miss
