Gyokeres looked really shit in the first half. Didn’t see the second but not surprised he scored from a penalty.
Saka off with a hamstring injury
 
Leeds could have done much more for that gyokeres goal. It was back off back off back off oh he's scored

Leeds could honestly have done better for most of the goals. They looked terrible defensively.

Looks like we were fooled by Sunderland last weekend.
The promoted teams will struggle this season too.
 
Will they? I keep banging on the 'they bought average players to replace superstars' drum, but some on this forum see 'City' and "Fraudiola' and think that's all it takes. I had them down for 3rd pre-season and I still think that's where they'll end up.
Hopefully
 
Saka’s injury appeared to be more serious than that of the captain and the timing is bad, with Arsenal going to Liverpool next Sunday. “For Bukayo to come off, for sure it looks like something that is significant,” Arteta said. “He felt something in his hamstring while he was sprinting. That’s never a good sign.

“It’s not the same [hamstring] as the previous injury [Saka missed three months of last season with a hamstring injury]. But he’s had these injuries before. He knows exactly the feeling of that. So let’s wait. Martin felt something in his shoulder when he landed. We’ll have to scan him tomorrow and understand a bit better.
 
Saw the Gyokeres goal now. That is some insanely bad defending. Just like back home in Portugal.

His celebration is even more shit than he is.
 
If you'd have told at the start of the weekend that City will lose at home and Arsenal will beat Leeds but lose Saka and Odegaard to injury then I'd have snapped your hands off.

Arsenal have greater attacking depth this year, so they will cope better, but the fact their best playera hamstrings are getting twanged more than a buskers guitar should be a very worrying sign for them. He will miss the game against us, which given our left side has looked shakey, is perfect news.
 
Didn't watch the second half, but did Arsenal do that much better in the second 45 minutes to put 3 more past Leeds? Because I watched the first half, and until Saka's goal near the end of it, they created zero opportunities from open play. And that was against a team coached by Farke, whose Norwich team regularly made defending look like attempting to scale Everest mounted on a blindfolded three-legged elephant.

Not really. The game opened up so they looked more dangerous, but it wasn't scintillating or anything.

City looked way better against Wolves and we know what happened to them when they played someone half-decent.
 
St Mirren are beating Rangers 1-0 and look much the better side. As it stands, Celtic are leading their city rivals by 7 points after 3 games. That league is a joke.
 
Rodgers is throwing a bit of a strop about signings. Had a 0-0 against some no marks during the week in champions league qualifiers.

I can imagine him going to West Ham.

Ange back to Celtic?

That Rangers manager is T.O.A.S.T. After just a handful of games.

Anyway off to shoot the Notting Hill Carnival now - as I have done for each of the past 2 years (on my IG if you can be bothered searching for them) : https://www.instagram.com/thedragonsfather/
