Not sure why we bothered to enter this competition and i am sure the organisers are feeling the same , obviously we are receiving a few quid for entering , but the team we put out was an academy side plus Mahrez & Bravo , thought Bolton , Harrison , Nmecha , Denayer , Garcia and Roberts when he came on where decent , expected more from Foden and Diaz , Zinchenko had a nightmare his transfer fee has just reduced £5m on that performance , not sure what all the fuss is about Douglas Luiz the game passed him by.
It was nostalgic to see Joe in a City shirt again , shouting and bawling for possibly the last time . If you look at the Dippers squad they have ten first teamers available and they will take great enjoyment in taking us apart next week.
However you dress it up it was a preseason kick about
not dressing anything up , just giving my opinion on the performance , would be interesting to see if the Dippers treat next weeks game as a kick a bout , now they are nailed on Premier league favourites in some people eyes

Don't think anyone expects another run like that one but it really needs to be pointed out that we played an EDS side with Mahrez and Bravo last night and lost 1-0.I really do not expect a fast start after this pre season from the team, certainly not a start like we had last season (19 wins, 1 draw in 20 games lol).
There was a lot of nonsense in your post but the above was the standout bollocks.By no means did he have a nightmare,while some of his play and defending wasn't great,there were plenty more moments where he controlled the ball superbly and made some excellent passes.The lad has been bounced from pillar to post in respect of his role in the side,so acting in the unfamiliar role of deep lying playmaker last night,i thought he did a decent job he can be proud of.
As for others,Garcia and Denayer impressed me most.I could still see Denayer having an incredible career if he gets the opportunity.
