City Vs Chelsea FA Community Shield Pre Match thread

[dennis1976]

I think Pep will really want to win this. i would be shocked if he doesn't play his strongest available team. He wont want to give any silverware away if he can help it.

Seeing the players back in training is great. I'm suddenly feeling very positive about life again!

I think it will be a mix of the young players and those who just came back. Can't see any of the ones who haven't had any minutes so far playing the whole 90 min. Maybe Mahrez sits out as a precaution.

I notice in the 2nd half of the Bayern game it was a 3 at the back in possession with Zinchenko dropping into midfield with Douglas Luiz. When the opposition had the ball Zinchenko went to left back making it a back 4.

No idea about the 2nd half.

Want to win this - then we can have a team photo with 3 trophies.

It is life and death for me.

Great to see most of the 1st team back training today. Nobody looked heavy, ultimate professionals.
See the new French lad training with the first team squad as well, wondering if Pep thinks he can step up. It's a lot to ask of an 18 year old though.
Only Kyle, Raz and the ginger Prince missing and Marhez Laporte and Foden because of bumps and bruises.
See if Pep and the gang can get them sharp for next week.
Will he use the CS as match practice for a few? I suspect so.
We have a great squad though and I'm looking forward to the new season.

No chance we have sold 28k hope so but can't see it.

21k

How come only 21k? We're the rest given to charities etc?
