Bit of a weird feeling after that draw. I think last season we'd have caved in to the pressure and lost it, but we had chances aplenty to pull away too at one nil. I think in part that is because of the two decisions towards the end of the game leavings sour taste. Is handball a penalty or not now, because it certain did hit the Leeds players arm and we've seen them given, even against us, for that. Then that shocker from Dallas, a pure red all day long, no VAR review and lucky there was no injury.
Let's take the positives, Bernardo is back and up until the booking Mendy looked ok, in fact the two past games he's looked like he's woken up to the fact that he could be on the way out. I'd still play Ake or Cancelo there though. Dias looks competent, we may just have two solid central defenders again!
Add Aguero back into the mix and we'd have probably won too, Leeds will give a few teams trouble and undoubtedly raised their game against us.
Long way to go, will be a stupidly daft season anyway. True that champions win games like that and I don't think we will win it ultimately, but we're certainly still good enough for top 4. We have the experience, just need one win to start a run and we'll be chugging along nicely. I know it looks dark now, Everton are on fire and there are others winning well too, but take out James, Calvert Lewin, or at Arsenal Aubameyang, and even today it seems Liverpool will be without Mane and Salah, then it's going to be a topsy turvy messed up season.
Now for a completely pointless international break. Such a shame England aren't playing Greece away...
