And in the second half, when we were defending the lead (which is the relevant point)? I'm trying to remember them having an effort on target. And I'm struggling. The official stats say that they had two efforts on target, and I'm pretty sure they were both in the first half.

Correct

Pep mentioning first target being getting CL next season. Haven’t looked at that tbh. How many points do we reckon are likely to be needed to secure that?

(I’m assuming top 5 will be enough looking at how English clubs are currently set in Europe)

It's secure, all barring an earthquake, in East Manchester. He's just playing down our title expectations. One game at a time and all that.

Agree with your comments regarding seeing it out at the end but that first 30 minutes was a shambles and could have cost us. Echoes of the Bodo Glimt game.

I agree with the first 30 minutes but that was nothing like Bodo Glimt, I watched that game and we were lost, we had no answers. However, today we had focus on 3 points, manage the game and see it out. Even without Haaland who has started to make a difference both at the back and up front. Keep that pressure on those in front of us

Plenty of time to worry about that later - I'm only looking at one position now...

The current team is miles off where we have been, but very young and inexperienced. Not technically as good either. But 2nd and in all the comps in march. Bravo pep and the lads

Yep. This is it in a nutshell. My target was the title next year but we're going for it this year instead. Good on them for working hard.
 
Another game, another week where I am flabbergasted by the overall reaction on here. They started well, we shut them down, we scored a big goal before half time, we dominated them for 35 minutes and should have scored another, we kept them at arm's length while we saw the game out. The team ran their bollocks off and got over the line. Not vintage, doesn't need to be, every single league we have won have had games that look like that.

Yep, he even pointed to RAN as he made the run.

Yes but some knob on here said Marmoush offers f*ck all , some of our fans are spoilt f*cking clowns. Every player gave everything , we arent as pretty as our previous title teams but Pep has tweaked his tactics and its working , its a proper team fighting all the way , bring on Forest.
 
Great win ! We were better second half ! Leeds fans moaning about the ref ? I thought they should have had at least 3 players booked? On the manager I think foden and doku should have come on ? But what do I know ? We won so he was right ? Or was we lucky ?

Hard fought, proper champions performance that, whether we make it in the end or not that is the sort of 90 minutes that wins you titles.

Take off the foul on Guehi chance for Leeds, and their one on one offside and Donner has done very little, in a hostile crowd.

Guehi and Dias were solid as fuck. RAN is unreal. Cherki a joy to watch. Semenyo pure output in goals and assists. Rodri looked good overall. Nunes the best right back in world football.

We are a year early in our transition and fighting on four fronts in March still. Never expected that in August.

I’ll apologise to Pep for saying it might be time to call it a day with mutual agreement. He’s building something again.

You can feel it.
