Leeds United v Manchester City Match Thread

[Orange Box]

Not looking to blame him, but why didn't Rodon try to cut out the cross for the goal ?
He'd left Semenyo and positioned himself to cut out any cross but made no attempt to cut it out.
Watched it numerous times and it just looks very strange.

I thought much the same at the time, then realised there was 99% chance of an own goal if he did.

I haven’t watched it back properly yet, but from my vantage point in the stadium, that goal was on Stach.

He switched off, Aït-Nouri got in behind and gets the ball across to Semenyo.

Thats the way I saw it on the tv.
Was a swift passing move though. Good goal in fairness.

Pep telling us Leeds fans to show some respect., that's ripe coming from one of the most unsporting managers in the game.

Sod off Pep, you are a disgrace, you scored a goal in Ramadan time, what more do you want?

Pep & his bunch of cheats received all the abuse they deserved.

[Tyzy]

I can see a fine coming for the booing !

[1964white]

I’m reading the BBC are reporting boos from the Leeds crowd when there was a halt in play for Ramadan yesterday. I wasn’t there, but to my mind, from the Sky coverage, what incensed me was how Pep used the period as yet another mid-game coaching session . Two players took nourishment, it didn’t need the entire team to surround them and offer their support.
Another example of how they bend the rules.

Of course he did, yet another devious ploy from someone who thinks he's God.

Now the twat is telling our fans to show some respect

What has the game come to?

I've never witnessed anything like it in the sport I love.

Do we make certain religious requests at Christmas or Easter time?

Seemed to me it was one of those split second decisions on whether or not stick a leg out or not with the risk of putting the ball in his own net. Snap decision - DON'T!

[1964white]

Citeh have become the ‘other scum’ after that cheating display. They are the most boring, over privileged team I’ve seen. Rooting for Arsenal now.

Never thought I would think it.

Come on Arsenal.

I thought the same when I watched the highlights Rodon seemed to slow down,hard to tell on TV.

I still can't believe MOTD didn't show the 'stamping' incident. Talk about selective editing

[PhoenixUnited]

First Mourhinho and now Spit Guardiola bleating on about "respect". The irony seemed completely lost on them!

[1964white]

It was interesting to see the contrast in the behavior of Semenyo. He played well and fairly during the match.

In his post match interview he was polite and respectful. So, he definitely has not adapted to their culture. The team ethics, or lack of, are the ones set by Guardiola.

This speaks volumes about the moral compass of Guardiola, which is a 180 in comparison to Farke, and Iriola.

The behavior of Guardiola, Arteta, and previously Klopp, is vomit inducing . Well done to Farke for not accepting Leeds being cheated.

Hang on a minute, James.

Semenyo celebrated his goal with glee in front of the kop, more or less mocking our fans.

He's no saint too!

I can, typical of the BBC.

If that's the case, he made the wrong decision. A defender should never let it go past him regardless of the risk. He couldn't possibly know if Semenyo was there or not.
If he had stuck a leg out, yes it may have been an OG but he may have also knocked it out for a corner or Darlow could have saved it.
I personally think he may have been feeling his hamstring slightly and didn't feel he could risk stretching it.
Either way Stach was caught out and that's why the cross came in

Mentioned the Pep 'team talk' when it happened OB. Sick of Pep's antics and spitting.

Stach took the wrong angle, get the angle right and he gets there easily. Rodon goes to intercept then changes his mind, that was an error also, my guess is he got a leave it call or he expected someone (Darlow?) to be there. But as first man it's his to deal with. Very small chance he scores an own goal and it would be worrying if he lets that affects his game

15 point deduction....

[CHAPELALLMAN]

15 point deduction....

And attendance on a diversity course to be made mandatory by the FA as a condition of LUFC fans purchasing season tickets...

Can't interfer with Pepadam team talk time.

[The Subhuman]

Don't think we were booing Ramadan but Pep...also if they need to break fast why not just come over to the sideline if they're Muslim and do that while the game continues,....
