Thought it was reffed well largely, though Mendy could have easily had two yellows and he gave a free kick against Davis when I thought he was the one who was fouled. Couple of incidents in our area that may have gone the other way a week ago but thought they were called correctly.
City players were a whinging set of gits though. For all Pep's team love to play the beautiful free flowing game they love to appear for free kicks and penalties.

Re: Leeds Utd v Man City - MATCH THREAD
Today's game finally convinced me, we do need a permanent #10 to replace Pablo... Too much pressure on Kalvin.

I love how all these top 6 clubs thought we'd be easy beats this season. Just wait until we beat Chelski

Gray Neville on Rodrigo:
“I had him at Valencia “
“That’s where I should have played him“

Why not give Bogusz a chance instead of constantly picking Roberts and then subbing him off?Smudge3920 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:57 pm Today's game finally convinced me, we do need a permanent #10 to replace Pablo... Too much pressure on Kalvin.

De Bruyne really petulant throughout. Couldn't see Bielsa tolerating his tantrums in a million years.YorkshireSquare wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:49 pm City players were a whinging set of gits though.

Re: Leeds Utd v Man City - MATCH THREAD
Terrific outing. The intensity is amazing and you have to admire the fitness of our lads. First 20 minutes, both the the team and I was very nervous and when City scored I had a very bad feeling for the rest og the match, but the boys kept coming back and really impressed with their tempo and presicion.
Costa strugged against Mendy initially but he upped his game and gave Mendy tough time before Poveda show forced Pep to take Mendy off lol.
Just need two more signings now in order to match the top teams on individual level as well.

Will write my thoughts later; I'm a few beers in and absolutely buzzing after that performance. Loved reading everyone's comments and opinions and want to say what a great little community this Leeds forum is.
Koch and Rodders looking every inch the value we paid, and Poveda has a great future. All the other experienced players look quality too, and Dallas, who'd have thought that he'd be arguably our player of the season so far?

They weren't very complementary to us then.

Re: Leeds Utd v Man City - MATCH THREAD
No doubt at all in agreeing with that, I am raving about him... but he is primarily a # 9... I think my comments are more leaned to the Robert's expeirment has run it's course (IMO)... Cannot question God can we !

Re: Leeds Utd v Man City - MATCH THREAD
My thoughts are:-
We started very hesitantly, a little shy even, we seemed a bit over awed by the Man City team. We stood back, allowed them space etc. About 15 minutes in I said we need Roberts off and Rodders on. We go one nil down and then it's half time. I'm surprised that coming on after the half time break it's Poveda for Alioski, the surprise is that Alio is coming off rather than Roberts. Thankfully, Roberts is subbed and Rodders comes on. Poveda and Rodders both make huge changes to the team and the performance and we see Bielsa ball once again. Klich looks a little fatigued and we have Davis on. We get a draw but I sincerely think that if we had started Rodders then we would have had a win

I'm going back to 505, I saw them at Sheffield and they were amazing.

Re: Leeds Utd v Man City - MATCH THREAD
You know mate, when I was serving, I was in predominantly a "scouse" mob (recruiting area) but a lot of Manchester lads also.. pretty well split between scum and citeh... and I always found the citeh supporters way worse than the scum ones (which is hard to do)... they hate Leeds with a passion... basicly because they are scared of us... When Leeds v Liddypool played I could sit amongst all the scouse lads and it was brilliant ... Neverton supporters much like citeh ones... Hate Leeds with a passion ... loved it
