You know Leeds have well and truly thrown the towel in when Ake is scoring from a free header on a corner kick.
Are Leeds missing many key players?
Yeah 11 of them by the looks of it.
Why are there empty seats in the stadium ?
Bielsa will leave at the end of this season
Rafinha will go to a better team
Leeds will go back down to their level in championship.

Wasn't he nominated for best manager in the world or something like that? Bizzare really.
Yeah, he'd be a great signing.
Even while we twatted them 6-2
I usually don't get involved in these bash the Bundesliga convos but you have to admit it is a one team league, in England you can realistically get 3 winners every season who challenge till the latter stages at least unlike in Germany where its a non event most the time. Bayern is a top top side but the drop off from Bayern to 2nd place in Germany is like the drop off from Chelsea to 10th place in the league.
Foden is the best of the bunch there.
Plus 31 goal difference, ours is 2 
Pathetic showing from Leeds.

It’s the Etihad.
You think West Ham is better than Dortmund?
We had a nine goal advantage over City before today.Plus 31 goal difference, ours is 2

Because it’s at the Etihad.
Feat not. You have your customary 5-0 thrashing of Norwich and Watford still to come on your calendar.
Ha, that stat on the BBC website...City's expected goals are 2.04....
Just goes to show you cannot and should not rely on that metric for single games, ever

This version of Dortmund is nothing special.
They are both Europa League standard. Don't just go by the names. West Ham are a better team than Arsenal or Spurs.
Newcastle at home on Thursday as well.
Commentator surprised at the empty seats
I would love Raphinha here to be honest.
Martial out, Raphinha in.
Neither are we, Arsenal, Spurs Wolves or West Ham. They'd be in the race for the last top 4 place if they were in the Prem.
2.04-0.17 xg suggests one team in particular will likely win. Did they?Ha, that stat on the BBC website...City's expected goals are 2.04....

Why did City choose to thrash Leeds but let Utd off with a routine beating
In a way though you have proven my point, you didnt mention Liverpool, City or Chelsea and thats the main point, that there are three teams that can win the league whereas in Germany its between Bayern and their shadow.
As for Dortmund, on a good day, all teams are on form, United beat Dortmund and this Dortmund side is far from the sides of before, Haaland and Jude are special but man for man in every position, even manager, we outscore them.
Stats are insane....City had 31 shots with 15 on target. Leeds only had 6 shot attempts.
Cities last 2 games....
1-0 over Wolves with a lucky peno and an xg of exactly 3.00
7-0 tonight vs Leeds and an xg of 3.31.
Football is a strange game.

Yeah, by SEVEN goals.... completely obliterating the so called expected stat
I think the job Slippy G has done at Villa is going under the radar so far. Maybe he is the real deal. Villa 4 wins from 6 under him 2 losses being vs City and Liverpool and both by a single goal.
Are you suggesting we hire him next season ? That would be scandalous.
Nope just think he's showing signs of being a proper top manager and might actually get the Liverpool job on merit when Klopp leaves.
Yeah of course the PL has more top teams.
City, Liverpool and Chelsea are on the same level as Bayern, but I wouldn't say that West Ham, United and Arsenal are definitely better than Dortmund, Leipzig and Leverkusen.

Well yeah that kind of stuff happens when teams, you know, score goals from distance or shit angles or not so frequent positions.
Haven't you seen what ole's spell has done to the club and the fanbase ? Although gerrard might be better than ole but he's nowhere near the level of klop. They've already had there ole moment with souness and kenny. They'd be massive idiots to try it the third time.
Last season City fecked up a €6000 acca when they lost 1-2 to Leeds. And now they won me €50. Great
Don't start, our drop off began with a goalless draw to them after the 7-0 to Palace last season. Can't see City doing that though after Leeds.
