***City v Dirty Leeds |Official Match Thread***

[zuricity]

One shot one goal Ederson.
Wonder what is Bravo doing.

unlucky Ake's block didn't come off

Ake looked like he was out-of-position in relation to the goal. He seemed to realize it himself as the shot was taken.

still unlucky though

[blues2win]

Aaaaargh! Stones couldn’t quite guide it home

[s1ty m]

Remove Mendy now. Just now, no more giving him a go, he's terrible. Throw on Mahrez and get stuck in against 10 men, no need for a back 4. We are trying to win the fucking Premier League...Zinchenko in that key position is not the choice you make. Crazy. We will need the bench.

That second angel is really clear cut red. Good call by the ref – VAR finally got it right.

Poor from Walton in the studio talk about sticking up for your mates
No excuse for that ted all day long

We have ti change it now

Walton's gets most of the calls wrong since he's been on BT.

[Sideshow Bob]

frustrating 1st half. if we were facing 11 for 90’ i wouldnt fancy us to score.

[PeterParker]

Still not sure we can win this, Stan, Ollie and Benny Hill up front were beyond shite. They redefined what shit means.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Leeds can consider that a bit unlucky

The Red Card ?? He took him out at the knee !

I only saw that on the replay, in real time it did not look a red, anyway no way are we going to score with that lot, fucking Jesus and Sterling, lack of urgency, Sterling doesn’t seem to give a fuck even when he misses open goals, still think we will be lucky to get anything out of this game, Leeds will play a low block and we will not have the players on the pitch to get behind it.

These will get deeper and deeper and the first half has shown us we dont have the nous. Mendy off creativity on. Depending on how jesus is, id swap foden for sterling maybe stick ferran up top and Mahrez on the right

Looks like a Mahrez sort of game to me

[branny]

We were very adept at dribbling away from Leeds goal in that first half. Service into the box has been mixed and when it’s been decent Sterling happened.

[carl_feedthegoat]

This is the sort of game where Sterling needs to step up and grab the game by the scruff of the neck like KDB does. And that goes for Bernado as well.

Sterling stepping up.

I hope he doesn't complain about non selection.

Fuckin idiot

difficult to understand why he's so off tune

I told you he should never ever get the go ahead (Generally speaking ) before Foden !!

Hes fuckign shite....too busy off the field to focus on his shite shortcomings infront of goal .

i thought zinchenko did well?

[Dameerto]

A full half to go with a man advantage - if that doesn't make up for Mendy I don't know what will (barring a substitution of course). We got this.

[PaulieIrish]

Is there case for offering Sterling as an part exchange for Haaland?

[blues2win]

Actually Sterling and Torres need to do much more this half.

[nottsblue]

Is there case for offering Sterling as an part exchange for Haaland?

Ja

[blues2win]

COME ON CITY!!

[Harry Dowd scored]

Pep needs to make changes even facing ten men that team is not fluent enough, Mendy is a liability worse than fucking useless he should be nowhere near this team, take him off Zinch to left back, Mahrez and Foden on, Sterling off or Jesus neither any use.

[PeterParker]

Looks like now changes. Isn't like we are one down or anything.

[sheblue]

This is going to be an interesting half. Think we will see subs on shortly to break them down.
