Pre-Season Thread

City still all over us.

 

Danilo with a really poor dive. That's pathetic.

 

De Bruyne shoves Dier in the face.

 

N'Koudou replaces Dembele. Even less midfield presence, then.

 

Kompany booked for his 800th foul. What's their problem?

 

Kompany finally in the book.

 

So Davies just lost a foot race with Sterling despite having a 20-yard head start.

Lack of pace throughout the side is a major, major concern.

 

Oh look @remembercolinlee , City are bringing your favourite player on

 

City bring on Aguero, Toure, Nasri and.. Foden.

 

I'm not sure what we're doing now. Looks like 3 at the back with Davies at CB and GKN at LWB. Not convinced...

 

Nice to see our passing out from the back is working so neatly

 

To be fair if we're going to try odd combinations of players, better to do it here. Friendlies are learning processes after all. We've still got the Juve game to get the first XI playing together again.

 

Ridiculous offside call on N'Koudou. Not even close.

 

City hit the woodwork twice, while our defence stands around watching.
This is ****e.

 

This pulls the rug out from underneath our only argument against transfer activity...the belief that we are the most 'settled' team in the league.

Bottom line is, they don't look arsed for the game, no midfield presence without Wanyama and no pace whatsoever.

Aguero hits the post again.

 

Wimmer, Janssen, Oakley-Booth on. Various players off.

 

2-0. Sterling through and his totally mishit finish beats Vorm, somehow.

 

Crap finish from Sterling for 2-0.

G'night lads. Can't watch any more of this ****e, friendly or not.

 

3-0. Loads of shots and it's not cleared. Abject.

 

3-0 FT. We look absolutely miles off the pace. Awful performance.
