    Our grand return to the Championship lasted 20 seconds before Bristol City scored, bloody hell.

    That is never a red.

    VAR gets one right.

    Dermot Gallagher agreeing that it was a definite red card pre-VAR as it "ticks all the boxes" but then also agrees that the referee made the correct decision to overturn it.

    Both sides playing a high line leaves the middle third of the pitch looking oddly full.

    Bamford should finish that. One on one with the goalkeeper.

    This is a good game. Its really open.

    This is insane - although does have the feel of Liverpool tightening it up and blowing them away 6-2 second half.

    Mad game this. The defending on display is comical. And Joe Gomez again reaffirming that he's not good enough (at the moment).

    You'd seriously rather watch team after team rock up with a 4-5-1 and sit behind the ball all game, only to have Liverpool win 1-0 anyway, than this?

    This game highlighting the need for someone better than Gomez and perhaps a creative midfield type.

    Very poor. We haven’t tried to adapt to how Leeds are playing at all. Firmino, Trent and Wijnaldum have been awful. ‘Crisis!’ in a week when we have 1 point from 2 games after losing to Chelsea.

    Open the chequebook ffs.

    Also, our goals today: penalty, corner, free kick.

    Against a wide open team.

    Lucky. Salah was great today.

    Firmino’s attempt right before the goal was pathetic.

    The amount of times there was a 3 v 3 or 4 v 4 and it was overplayed was very irritating.

    Still, a win is a win. This will only amplify the calls to open the chequebook though.

    I've been watching Carl Zeiss Jena against Werder Bremen whilst our match is on. Bremen were miles better but they missed some absolute sitters. Chong's off the mark for them and his goal was decent.

    I'm going to guess he was in a midfield three with Hayden playing the holding role. Hendrick and Shelvey more advanced than him.

    That's where he played for us too. That said, Hayden and Shelvey would probably be better than McCarthy and Hourihane.

    Curtis Jones going in at that point suggests a big role this season, will be a class act

    Also, 2.7-0.3 or something on xG against a top top side. You can take your fucking ageing Spanish plodders and suck on them as we stroll to 20.

    I'm [obviously] not a fan of the xG stats wankery, but that game did feel a bit like one of those that City got inexplicably turned over in last season. Leeds probably never score those goals again, the first and third are particularly 'great touch, great touch, great finish' efforts their players won't normally be able to pull off, and letting Bamford score,

    Sort of had the feel of those games we used to play Shaqiri in the midfield 3 for, where it would be all action at both ends. Much preferable to controlled grinding.
