Match Day Thread Liverpool v Man City - Community Shield

Commentators seem to think Haarland is the only player on the pitch. He has not had much service as City are not used to playing with a big striker up front. Hope Carvalho comes on in the second half as midfield could do with a bit of creativity. But happy so far.

 

Haaland has been beasted by vvd like an apex predator that's sniffed the new blood.

Complete alpha male is vvd.

 

How many subs today?

 

Six. He must have read this thread.

 

6 apparently.

Nunes is ready to go so will be on early

 

Haarland was once asked who the player was he hated playing against, he said "Van Dykk" saying it was impossible to get anything from him.

 

Tbh I see Haaland doing well against alot of the lower teams this season. But at the same time I expect he'll get the **** kicked out of him by said teams. Be interesting to see what City will do when he gets injured.

 

He should have got something today. As somebody said, had Darwin ****ed that up it would have been all over Twitter and the comments sections of every paper in the land.

 

Ah yeah.. big lumps suit the bottom half no question.

Give any big striker 70% possession and one way traffic they are.going to get 10 chances a game.

His record with injury suggests its not if but when he gets injured.

 

Did you see haaland just standing offside there when De Bruyne had no out ball?

 

Grealish is an absolute disaster for city.

They might as well be playing with 10 men.

Just a ****ing flopper.

Typical they get to haul.him off for an anitvaxxer.

 

Yup.

They better get used to it.

 

yep, but now they're bringing on a proper player. Tighten up lads.

 

Ref got worried there

Flag saves him.

That's a clear pen bar the offside.

Again commentator desperate to muddy water based on the big roles on his wrist. No touch by ederson on ball.

 

Have to say hendersons played some hilariously poor balls in today.

All aprt of the press and work and all good but jeez lad.

 

Some of hendo's passes are - well ****ing mediocre at best.

 

Kind

 

they've only been 10-15 metres as well.

 

Still a long way to go to match FC Barcelona in that department. It would be great though, if Liverpool play Celtic sometime. Imagine 60,000 fans chanting "F*** the Tories." It would be epic. How would the broadcasters deal with that? I hope many more fans up and down the country join you in this aspect. Particularly Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, Palace, Brighton and Newcastle fans!!!!
