Leeds United (H) - Post-Match Thread

An amazingly good performance by every City player..
We started off quickly and didn't give the Emmerdale Dingles any time on the ball
Was nice to see Jack and Kev on the scoresheet..
Rod was fucking immense again and Bernie took the piss out of them.
Zinc had an excellent game and he's such an under rated player.
Nice to see the goals for column get a boost too.
Fair play to Leeds for trying to have a go but they were outclassed and deserved to get twatted.
What a team we have the privilege to be watching eh boys n girls..

Since you asked:
It should have been ten. - There's a song about that you know.
We should have brought one or two youngsters on once it was clear we were going to win.

On the positive side: There were all magnificent.
Grealish looked good, KDB looks like he's getting back to his best, Foden seems to be over his injury and the atmosphere was pretty good much of the time. I sit at the north end of the East Stand and the atmosphere is almost never as good as it was last night. I'm told some tickets which are usually £50-£60 were going for around £30 so perhaps the club will learn from that.
As for the youngsters; Pep wanted to get minutes into legs of players he is likely to use, hence bringing on Gundog, Dino and Gullit Jr.

some odd looking fuckers in the Leeds end, more like a rugby league crowd
 
that was amazing, after a fairly arduous trip down on the trains, the game was top notch.

Firstly, praise should absolutely go to City, we cut them apart and exploited a very open approach from Leeds. KdB flourished, as did the whole team really. Grealish was better being more direct when cutting inside, it suited him.

Word on Leeds; suicidal. What were they doing. Have you ever seen a team more allergic to marking? they left a 10x10 yard square on the edge of their box totally empty the whole game, nearly everything City did was a result of that massive empty box. Where the fuck were their full backs playing at 0-4 down?? anyway who cares, masterclass from Bielsa i presume.

Final word, had to leave on 78 mins due to last trains and late ko (there's a lot of people outside at that time!), only to be set on by two Leeds cavemen on Travis St near Picadilly. Anyway, they were pissed up fucking animals but wasn't too nice, managed to escape into Picadilly, which was further infested with Leeds, only to find my last train i'd left early for was cancelled. So bus replacements all the way home. What a long night. Worth it.
 
Is there a discussion to be had now and I certainly believe this, that over the last four seasons City have played perhaps the most scintillating and devastating football ever? By anyone in the world? Are we witnessing this without realising it? Yep we have zero champions leagues and if truly awesome teams are judged by that metric then we're obviously short there. In my lifetime we are the best, the PL is the hardest league and I've witnessed and acknowledged to other fans the great Arsenal side, Pep's Barcelona, dare I say it, Liverpool in the 80s. The game's different to what it used to be in the 60s and before that, I just have an inkling that we are on the cusp of something here, regardless of silverware. Without a striker ffs!

Happens regularly with new signings at City. The press are desperate to brand them a big money flop, too many City supporters read it and decide such and such a body is crap, then after a while everybody realises that actually they’re outstanding but needed time to bed in.
Where Grealish is now is where Cancelo, Stones, Bernardo, Gundogan etc have all previously been.

Exactly! The press like nothing more than to stir up trouble for City. It's not surprising, the only surprise is how many still go along with it. Pep Guardiola got the same treatment in the beginning too.
 
Really enjoyed that. Everyone played well. Kev proves everyone wrong but he will seldom get that amount of space. Still great to see him operate like that, didn't give the ball away as much, some lovely passes and 2 great finishes. I was watching Phil at the end. Unlike just about everyone, showed absolutely no sign of fatigue, sprinting back and forward, dropping deep into central midfield to collect the ball. What a player we have. Thought Ake defended well when he came on and what a bloody header. Rodri is a monster. Pep took him off or it would have been 10 for sure. Was a great booster at the end of a shit day.
 
Which marking method does a team employ when the opposition attack and midfield are so fluid, positionally-variable and, best still, on top form? Bielsa is a very thoughtful coach and proved it last year, but last night would have stretched most teams and they would have been found wanting. Kev moving rapidly back his top form and Greasy Jack treating us to his best game since he joined. But credit to Leeds - they displayed 100% more ambition than the Jackals from Staffordshire.

My very own thoughts last night. Football this fast, fluid and technically advanced have never before been seen. Must be that oil.

Fantastic result for the super blues.... but im readying myself for the comments about oil money when i get to work, but they will just deflect off my shield for today I am PEPMAN!!

Are people still bothered about the “oil money” jibes ?
laugh at it for what it is. Any one who drives a car is indirectly a closet city fan.
 
Absolutely landed this morning and a big fuck you to all the Leeds apologists from other clubs.
I know KDBs thunder Cnut goal was exceptional but the other was brilliant too. Eye of a needle job.
Who was that summariser who was looking for excuses every goal - what an annoying tool.
