When you play a team like Man City you have to get lots of men behind the ball and frustrate them. Then hit them on the counter attack.
Sounds like we've done the opposite.
It's all about trying to keep the score respectable now.

This reminds me of the Manure game.

Totally playing into the hands of a much better group of players.

Bielsa needs to change tactics here.

Press less and go more direct, passing out from the back is daft.

Man to man here is madness and shows his tactical stubbornness

Trying to go toe to toe and press them is insane and not admirable or any of that nonsense

Well it's pretty obvious that playing attractive football trumps trying to keep it out the net. Paper thin squad no matter what people on here say. This could be very ugly.

Grealish loves playing Leeds. I am excited to see some of our younger guys potentially starting vs Arsenal based on yellow card suspensions from this game. We can hardly get out of our box. We need a red card to make this a contest.

Meslier looks strangely out of sorts tonight, his kicking and passing is laboured and inaccurate.

Well, I think he has the opinion that you need to get booked asap in every match, and he's doing a great job on that front.
