Match Day Thread Pre-season

Milner and Henderson trying to support the attack but when they get caught out, we're horribly exposed.

 

Sounds like you're really enjoying watching us jimmy

 

Need to bring the mighty Allen on. That will change the game....one way or the other

 

Would you be?

Looking forward to seeing tomorrow's team more than this shower.

 

Milner and Henderson need a DM behind them - allows them to attack with more freedom, and it leaves us less exposed.

 

Well exciting first half..not. I know its a friendly but we have not looked anything like a team, even a team playing a friendly

 

Considering we have 1 week before the season starts, this is concerning.

No pattern in our pre-season in terms of starting line up, system, formation, style.

 

Concerning that this is virtually our last game before the season starts.. We don't look anywhere near 100%.

 

I had my fears that we would start with a two man midfield and was told it would be unlikely given we'e played 4-3-3 for most of preseason.

This is Rodgers we're talking about - he wants 4-2-3-1 and has done since he;s been here.

Attack is toothless but midfield is garbage. Provides absolutely nothing at both ends of the pitch.

 

Only able to create chances by pressing and forcing errors as well.

 

Possibly the least excited I have been with the new season starting. Dreading it.

 

Pathetic size crowd. On the weekend too, we really are nothing on the world stage now.

 

Could be worse, City lost 4-2 and were 4-0 down at half time despite playing a strong squad compromising of only 1 or two kids.

 

Prices were from 32-150 EURs!! Ridiculous pricing.

 

Bubdle of fun you are.

They're friendlies and mean **** all. Just a chance to get fitness going and try things out.

Yes be lovely to to win them all playing lovely football but pre season results and performances rarely mean anything when it comes to the proper season.

 

Love your optimism but I don;t care about City.

I know it's preseason and we shouldn't read too much into this but by now, I expected us to have a good idea of what the team will look like in terms of personnel and tactics. Is this the first time we've played 4-2-3-1?

We did a lot of business early on but our team looks incredibly disjointed.

 

I'm pretty sure Rodgers has some sort of idea what his team will look like going into Sunday.

Hasnt helped weve been without some of squad attacking wise due to copa America

 

Playing much more positively, just need to get more bodies in the box.

remember we still have Firminho and Benteke to come in and possibly a fit Sturridge for a couple of weeks before Xmas, when he will get injured for the rest of the season.
