Manchester City - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread***

[WTF11]

calm down everyone, var has just come back and updated the game; they apologise for cooper going off and he can come back on now, even though it was a bit reckless; however it had been reported that dallas smiled before he scored the second goal, this is now called 'anticipation' and will not be tolerated, therefore both his goals are disallowed. Cooper can play 45 minutes on his own but won't be allowed a ball.

lmfao

Our best result of the season and this board is its quietest - I take it everyone is having a celebratory drink

Working all day with not even a phone signal, never mind internet access.
Couldn’t be happier and will certainly celebrate tonight.
So so proud of my fellow county and countryman Stuarty.
He’s an ordinary lad from a housing estate only 12 mile away. Never forgets where he came from.
MOT.

And I see we started with both Costa and Roberts

Brilliant result, top performance allround generally.
Apart from their goal, defence was strong / well drilled, - but main thing we defended as a team, unlike when we face a corner.
Many stand out players, but Dallas was top notch, as has mentioned, player of season.

You missed a unique game, The first goal wasn't a total surprise as Raphina was ruling the roost down the right wing, despite one or two cynical fouls; Bamford selflessly passed to Dallas when many would have shot and he bangs it in off the post deliberately to fool the keeper, no bias in this report.

The good stuff came when we went down to ten, I though they would roll over us but the defence probably did the best they have ever done, and Meslier was brilliant. The shock came when the little guy played Dallas a nice ball and his finishing was class.

Like the "little guy" tag,

Think that is the first game under Biesla where we have parked the bus and hit on the counter.

Thought is was a really good contest and Biesla was quick to adjust tactics according to the situation. So much for only having plan A!!

Rapha looked lethal on the counter and Dallas megs the keeper for the winner - happy happy days

Oh and we defended well.

Just watched MOTD highlights for Liverpool v Villa. Last attack from Liverpool Salah gets put through, has a team mate open to his left, decides to shoot straight at keeper. Contrast with what our top scorer does when he sees a team mate in a better position, side before self. Sarah (and a few others), could learn a little from us.

[WTF11]

Of course that should read "Salah" not "Sarah" although with all that hair, who knows??
