Job done, another three points in the bag.

This Rico lad looks pretty good.

I'd like Palmer to get the confidence of a goal under his belt. I wonder if that would make him look more than just a number in the team. He's solid, keeps possession and normally makes the right pass. But apart from that, still not seen much.

Haaland needs to celebrate when he scores - especially against a team that jeered when he missed his chances. Lanky mincer.

Don't think they dislike him any more than half on here seem too. He missed a sitter but got 2 good assists.
The turn for Gundo for the 1st goal was special. Kev and Rodders excellent, Rico gets better and better. Stones pissed me off, kept passing it too short and giving it away loads.
Great result



Misses aside , Grealish cannot seem to dribble past anyone to get a shot off on goal without 1. He gets dispossessed and 2. When he does shoot , more often than not , he shoots against the defender .

That’s what gets my goat up with him .

What I like about Grealish is that he was getting dogs from the Leeds fans from the off and missed some chances (so did Haaland, maybe we should sell him?) but then didn’t let that phase him and came out the second half more determined than ever.

We’ve seen players go into their shells when getting booed (Barry at Villa Park, Sterling at Anfield) but Grealish knuckled down and got two assists.

After the first that he put on a plate for Haaland you could see how much it meant to Grealish. Punching the air. Loved it

I was giving him dog's myself in the first half wasteful in possession and the miss over the bar. Still spends too much time on his arse for me. That said, he kept going and was unselfish for the 2nd. Like to see him running with the ball more but I think that's Pep telling him not to so not his fault. Leave him in the team for blue scouse and let's see how he goes

He was poor 1st half but a different player 2nd half and should have stayed on for me as he was getting better and better.
Foden came on and we were nowhere near as good. I'd have put him on for Mahrez personally who did nothing.

Agree with you on mahrez thought he was anonymous still bernie got a rest as did foden for an hour or so and so it all worked out for us. Be interesting to see what Pep does with the team on Saturday

He’s probably the most kicked player in the Prem (doubt the most fouled because we’re not allowed those). Players are given free reign to leather him - look at the Wolves game. Their player didn’t even hide it.

Even the commentator at one point (Lee Dixon I think) said the referee has to start protecting Grealish I believe this is at least the 7th bad foul on him

I do wish we still had a de Jong or Tiatto we could bring on when our players are being booted and not protected. See how the other team like it.

BBC-

Haaland was a boyhood Leeds fan thanks to his dad, Alfie, who played for both Leeds and Manchester City, and watched his son's latest scoring masterclass from the Elland Road stands

Are they fucking thick?!

https://amp.mancity.com/news/mens/erling-haaland-manchester-city-fan-interview-63790703

Alfie moved to City 1st July 200. Erling was born 21st July 2000 His dad had already moved from Leeds and was at City.

Sad inbred twats.

The only way Grealish can justify his tag price, is either to score a hatrick or the winner against Arsenal.

He needs to do something big to change our fortunes.

P.s he was miles better than Foden last night, in fact we conceded thanks to Foden's piss poor marking in our penalty box.

Just to prove the difference in the lack of protection for our players, watched the Chelsea game the other day and every time Sterling went to ground he got a foul. In a City shirt he very rarely got a foul.

Don’t worry about the price mate. Kompany was £7m, he wasn’t a £7m player. Alvarez was £15m, he’s worth more. Phillips cost us £43m - he’s worth about £15m.

Didn’t see the game yesterday but just watched the citizen highlights, on another day we score six, Leeds keeper did well to keep the score down, thought Grealish was good with the assists, also very fast on the interception for the second goal, three away points job done the way I saw it
