Did Dallas get booked after all that or did Tierney let him off cause of the injury

 

[OntarioBlue]

I thought Grealish did ok after a shaky start. Beat his man numerous times only to get fouled and nothing given.

I would love to see Pep give him instructions to run at his full back rather than all this “safe” square or backwards stuff. He had Dallas on toast that half and if the referee wasn’t incompetent we would have had four or five more free kicks in dangerous positions.

Hopefully Pep spends halftime kicking our midfield up the arse.

Gundo would probably jump out of Peps aim.

 

[argyle]

When Bernardo isnt alongside Rodri we get overrun in midfield.

We need another midfielder in the summer as Gundogan on his last legs.

 

[vmsuhail]

We need to control the game and composure

We can either sit back and take control (which we normally don't) or go toe to toe and play high-risk high reward chaotic game.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I'd be tempted to being Zinchenko on in place of Grealish.

 

[dobingsdobber]

You have to feel for the guy getting stretchered off but he gave no shits trying to injure our lads and that was a sending off

No sympathy for him at all,he's a wrong'un,same every game. If he wasn't a footballer(?) he'd be an armed robber or summat.

 

[Don Karleone]

May have to if some players don't start pulling their fingers out

I do, win this and then worry about the next game.

Think we have enough on there to see this out

 

[mat]

Can see why Tierney was "selected"

 

[FantasyIreland]

This ^^^^ for me, we look so disjointed, leeds are pretty shite, don't get why we are not taking them apart. As for tierney, blimey this is a whole new level of shite!

Unfamiliar line up,square pegs,lack of leadership and conviction,and an over reliance on playing it backwards inviting pressure.
We provably deserve the lead but we are also lucky not to have conceded.
We need far more control second half and we need players to understand their responsibility and their roles.
Our front players are struggling to hold the ball,i don't think Grealish has any idea how to play in this team,and Sterling is just far too flakey and lacking a killer instinct.Foden and Jesus are also clearly struggling with their role and instructions.

Gundogan is a huge worry,he just looks miles off the pace and generally weak.

Pep has his work cut out ensuring this doesn't go tits up.

 

[phargrave]

Think you’ve got that the wrong way round

 

[Cricket Blue]

The drop off in Gundo is unbelievable, it's like his legs have suddenly betrayed his footballing brain?

Grealish being a lazy sod and not getting back in.

Sterling showing plenty of purpose without much end product to show for it.

Hopeful Phil can get on the ball a bit more and open them up.

Agree TH
Saw it last week with him plus Cancelo keeps having brain farts.

 

[PistonBlue]

The fucking ref does his job and this game ain’t half as giddy as it currently is. He needs investigating because this is appalling.

 

[Blu1]

Cmon blues just 45 mins to go.
Nothing silly.

we look tired & creating very little is a concern

 

[Damanino]

are they really not looking at the tackle Micah and Robbie Keane?

 

[hertsblue]

Nope, laughable no card. Should have been at least his 2nd and Leeds down to 10 for second half.

 

[Mr HJ]

They will burn themselves out. I fully expected the rough behaviour as they are fighting for their lives but you need a stronger ref and it's ironic the fact that he's fucking spineless he has caused that bad injury. Dallas has been clattering into the back of our players after the ball has gone all half. Glad we don't seem to have any injuries thus far. It will open up we just need to keep our heads and the only chances they get are from our mistakes. I would be careful bringing Kev on because they would really go for him.

Finally it beggars belief how Sky get away with their clear agenda to will Liverpool to the quad. It says something that I was glad that Neville actually said what we all knew that the ref had caused that injury. Tyler - who cannot stop mentioning Klopp and his love children - was just about to say Jack caused that. He's a dinosaur and he doesn't even try to hide his disdain for us. Then guess what they show none - not one of the poor tackles at half time. As I said I expected it and if we can leave that shit hole with the points even 1-0 I would be very happy.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Dirty Yorkshire bastards.

That is all.

 

[I'm Blue]

Hope you're right, I guess how we start the second half will tell.

Nothing to see here!
