City v Liverpool - Community Shield pre-match thread

[deano ou812]

If they win today they'll be w@nking in the fountains all around wembley

And declared champions of England..

Can anyone recommend somewhere for Jerk chicken down here ?

Anyone you see with red shirt on . They are all jerk and chicken.

At last. A serious rival to Stan and Ole!

Kevin D Bruyne big season for him. Stay away from the henchmen this season starting with this one. Injury free season please Kev. Come on city.

So many non City supporters easily forget that he is truly an unbelievable player... He never hit near his stride last season... Here's hoping they all remember this season.

I predict a full strength line up for liverpool today, regardless that several are just back following holidays. They are so desperate for any type of success they will play best team available at the expense of their players wellbeing.

I’d love pep to throw a few curve balls,as in start a few of the youngsters as in Harwood-Bellis,Nmecha,Doyle or poveda...

I wouldn't. We need our first team up and ready next weekend and the more minutes they get before then the better

Not happy. Talkshite talking us right up, said Klopp fears a good beating today. I prefer it when they slag us.

 

[jared]

Time to nut up or shut up.

I just read Eddie and Ferna not available due to their late return from International duty but the Dippers have a full squad to choose from, apart from Mane. Werent Allison and Bobby the teeth in the same Brazil squad ? I don’t understand.

 

[Ric]

what's your team looking like chaps?

Probably be something like this:

Bravo
Walker
Stones
Otamendi/Harwood-Bellis
Zinchenko
Rodri
David Silva
De Bruyne
Bernardo
Sane
Sterling

They’ll take this a lot more seriously than us in going for the win. Full strength side with minimal subs. However deluded it may be, they’ll have this sense of getting one over us if they win today and Klopp and the cult will use that to get them off to a good start. For us, we get nothing from beating them yet again with our focus being on fitness and we will fully utilise all 6 subs.

Lets make sure we let them know they’re only there today through invitation.

Ederson travelled with the squad and will probably be on the bench. Fernandinho's been given a bit of extra time off, presumably because of his age.

Pep gives players as much time as they need,it pays off later in the season

Just heard that Walker not playing this afternoon?! Anyone know anything?

Personally I'd swap him for Meunier any day, but that's just me.

[St.Pauli support]

Enjoy it loud and proud lads
and please don't forget to remind the lot again who won all domestic titles
and ask what they are doing at Wemberley today ;)

Cleansheet!

 

[HolisticJim]

I'd just play the youth team. Gives all our players extra rest, no doubt Liverpool will be happy to burn all there's and it would completely deflate any victory from them.

And make any victory for us that much sweeter.

That'll be good when none of ours are sharp for next sat
