Just remembered how awful Gundogan was. Christ alive.

A number of times I noticed players losing the ball, but not tracking the back to recover the situation. That suggests either they weren’t taking the game seriously, or were unfit. None of that hunting in packs we’re used to seeing!
Sure it’ll be sorted soon enough.

I didn’t think it was a penalty, as Nacho pulled Nathan back, causing Aké to fall and catch Kelechi's legs. It was a foul, but to City, not against.

On a positive note, though, it was a good workout for the boys, especially Palmer and Edozie. Neither looked out of place and both deserve their place in the senior squad.

I thought Ake raised his legs when on the ground to impede the Leicester player. It looked more like Ake went to ground for me.

Pep spent £50m on Mendy for a reason. Sometimes signings don't work out the way you'd hoped.

Mendy has had two horrific career-threatening injuries and has not recovered. He will never be the same again. He could have been great for us.

Left back is a worry.... Zinchenko is fine but I have serious doubts about Mendy...

Thought Mendy was good today.

Well, we wouldn't have won the league without his sustained run of good form & goals last season. I think he deserves more respect TBH.

Mahrez wants to be here and Bernardo doesn’t.

Barnardo doesnt. Really ?

It was a very very iffy pen and before that we were the better/dominant team.


Also we made 6 subs ffs and leciester did the same, I know coaches like Bobby, Pep and Klopp have made winning this important again as a valid trophy, but out of the many winable this ranks about 5th/6th.

I think he did, but only after the Leicester player had battered him in the knee first (which is what caused him to go to ground). It was almost like he thought “I might not get a free kick here unless I do something that forces the ref to stop play”, and so he lashed out.

PERSPECTIVE please. We played a full strength Leicester team with a quarter strength City team and lost 1 0 to a very late penalty given away. Really impressed with Palmer he looked like hes got what it takes.
