Manchester City v Leeds United Match Thread

[ElKapitan]

Most shots City have had in a half this season

The fact its only 2 is a miracle

Surely even DF makes changes? Any changes at half time even just as a token

Is okafor/gudmundsson available? Know stach and long staff are out but beyond that not sure who we could bring on to improve us. Aarronsson for Gruev couldn't be any worse....

[Cjay]

2-0 HT... as expected but with less goals.... Justin has played very well, Perri keeps the score down, Gnonto needs the ball more, he's our best forward player, probably the best footballer at the club


I'd bring on Aaronson at HT

(He probably will)

[BillyBremner]

Let’s just hope all the other teams down the table lose as well

Don’t be daft, that would mean he saw Villa last week and learned a lesson.
His HT talk should be simple. - go put them under pressure and see what happens - it can’t be worse than the apathetic drivel we’ve seen so far. All we’re doing is watching City go through a training session.

[The Subhuman]

Rads and Orta did a good job imo. Niners have been very poor with the team getting worse each season they've been in control.

We spent 100M but we'd likely find it very hard to get much at all for Bijol, Longstaff and Okafor. Their value has dropped

[The Subhuman]

Second goal shouldn't have stood

[Finnatic]

Gruev has been our best midfielder, quickest in thought when on the ball, a good tackle and kept his shape fairly well.
Has hasn’t run about like Tanaka and Ampadu admittedly , but it’s his first start since the Arsenal game, I think.

[Jaydog]

Normally you say third goal here is key but I wont bother.

[SG90]

XG of 0.1. Even Farke will struggle to find the positives in that.

[The Subhuman]

We don't need Nmecha, so I'd take him off and bring on Okafor.

No, the “expert” in the studio said it was a foul on Perri.
It’s not much but stops him getting to the ball ahead of the scorer.

He's been ok tbf but we're Gruev fans who can see what others don't. Wrong game to start him though imo, Aaronson's pressing does create errors

Thats what I said earlier.
Would make it a good weekend..

[1964white]

How drab was that?

He has made a couple of tackles but watch him trying to defend in the box. Not really his fault wtf we are so deep is crazy we are running into each other. It is madness.

I'll give you that. You certainly see things in Gruev that I don't. At least today.

So enlighten me with what you have seen?

[White Riot]

Who's the ref?

Pep Guardiola

He refs all of City's matches

[The Subhuman]

Justin at fault, if anyone, for the first. Didn't go with the runner. But his first start and one minute in. Just bad luck for him.

[Madron]

I was sure it was gonna get scrubbed out.
Silva manhandling Perri and preventing him getting to the ball ,and then offside when the ball came in.
He was obviously interfering with play.
