A very strange game between ManCity and Leeds, that seems like Marcelo Bielsa already before the match realized that the defeat was irreversible and decided to play attacking open football with the hosts, completely forgetting about defense. But the quality of the attacking players in Leeds and ManCity is simply incomparable, and in the end we have 7 goals and 15 accurate shots. The only chance for the guests was to "park the bus" in their own penalty area.
I really do not think I'll blame Bielsa for that loss, I know he loves to play free flowing, attacking football, and in my opinion that's what I like to see from the smaller teams when they come up against the big boys, I know it can be risky and counterproductive, but it somewhat shows character, Leeds were demolished by City yesterday, not just cause they didn't concentrate solely on defense, but cause City was just so good, absolutely unplayable last night, I think only very few teams would not get destroyed by that City team yesterday and with the way they played. Having said that, I feel Pep deserves an awful lot of credit, he has built this team to this swashbuckling level and they are absolutely in their peak, all they need to do is to crown it all with a CL trophy, they got to the final last season, I do hope they'll go a step better this season.
