Pep was right to make many changes, for the next two games are more important. Think we played well in the first half up to their goal. Cancelo made a mistake, he has lost form since early March, was poor against Manure as well. Pep will wonder whether to play him or Zinch vs Dortmund. I'm afraid Dortmund are too quick for Zinch, so Pep will probably go with Cancelo at LB again.
Second half our game was a bit slow, we didn't move the ball quickly enough. Dinho was great in the first half, but in the second half he was slow on the ball and the build-up suffered from it. The forwards are low on confidence and it showed.
Pep could subbed in Kevin but was probably right not to risk him. With Gundo and Bernie not in their form from January and February, currently we are quite dependent on Kevin and an injury vs Leeds could jeopardize the 2nd leg vs Dortmund and the season.
But he should have probably subbed in Mahrez.
No matter tactics and personnel, there was always a small chance that Leeds, even with 10 men for 50 minutes, would take something from the game. Many posters seem to forget that a win/draw is never guaranteed at 100%. Shit can always happen.
We are at 90% champions. It's not done. People should learn to live with uncertainty and stop slating the team and the players. At the start of the season we'd kill to be in that position in April. We can still win the lot.
