And then Marriner gives the yellow instantly to a Leeds player for far less.

What an absolute dick

Then you’re wasted mate, ring up and see if they’ll take you!

Norwich suddenly went ultra defensive against City, failed to get a shot on target and conceded 5. Suddenly going defensive isn’t the masterplan some of you seem to think it is.
And even if it works in the short term it eventually catches up (ala Jose Mark 2 with us).

The young lad booked for that :lol:

Gary: 'Xhaka stands up, Gelhardt goes to ground, that's the only difference...' Standing up lets you apply more force doesn't it? What the fecking hell is he on about?

Very surprised at Xhaka getting away with that


Funny that last season Leeds did it against us after getting battered at Old Trafford doing the philosophy
Except Leeds didn’t change their system for that game, they still played man to man, they just got pinned back by United who were poor in the final third (but dominated).

People have this idea of Bielsa lacking any flexibility, and it’s not true. He’s changed the shape of his side more than most of the other teams in the league (I think the most), and is pretty versatile with his use of players.

Did the ref just give a free kick to Leeds and then play advantage while Arsenal had the ball?

The feck was that? :lol:

White has that in him. Crazy decision to dive in like that.
What a penalty that is.

Such a stupid challenge, no idea what was going through his head. Thought the replay might show it in a better light but looked even worse on repeat viewing

He's putting someone to sleep if he doesn't hit the target :lol:
Annoying to lose the clean sheet with a pointless challenge like that...

You shouldn’t need to waste time against this Leeds side really. :lol: They’ve made hard work of it this half, should have kept going to get their goal difference up.

That’s more like it, Smith Rowe is quality he should start every week for me.
