That one in the first half where KDB very surprisingly didn’t slip it through.I don't care about the result so much given our stupid lack of a pre-season so far...but the utter lack of utilization of haaland has really worried me.
We have been awful and those haaland runs have just been almost willfully ignored at times.
We get the same from sly….Couldnt believe those two commentators , its like all the media have a script to lick the the Dippers arses at every opportunity , at 80 minutes there was nothing between the teams and we had the upper hand , but commentery sounded like we losing eight nil.
Thank fuck ITV will only get Championship games this season and we dont have to sufffer that shite again
It was telling how mental their fans were going after the penalty awardWe treat it as a friendly - our opponents don't.
He hasn't fell though,he has ducked to head it and misjudged it.Think the rule is if you’re putting your hand down to stop you falling and the balls hits it it’s not a pen
Not 100% on that but think so
Think its time where you have the option of just crowd noise .Can’t remember the last game I watched without having to mute it.
Walker had given up for the 3rd goal.Overall mate I've no complaints. They played well & I knew we'd come back into it at some point, but the pen did it for us.
We had long spells of possession in the second half, but the Dippers were just waiting to pick us off on the counter, knowing only Walker could keep pace with their wingers.
All in all we had attempts without really threatening, but it is what it is. That's our pre-season over with & the real business starts next week Sunday to WHU who will take encouragement from today.
Apart from that ok?Some thoughts from my head.
Haaland makes amazing runs, is first to react and had a lovely finish off fodens back heel.
Alvarez might be different gravy, his desire to pass quickly is so exciting.
Kev had jet lag.
Cancelo was horrible - and we need a left back.
Walker looks rusty.
Dias looks even more rusty.
Bernardo and Rodri as a double pivot is fucking horrible. The double pivot is fucking horrible.
VAR is the worst.
The agenda is still real.
Any reason why this isn't a pen?
Misses the header, hits his hand on the floor.
My 6 month granddaughter was crying through most of the game so thankfully I couldn't hear the commentary. IYeah. She’s a nightmare. Very irritating voice & just repeats the obvious. Is the type that thinks they’ve always got to keep talking even if it’s repetitive rubbish.
At least she doesn’t real out non stop stats & facts like Tyler
Hey, its the first game of the season - let me get my moaning out early!!Apart from that ok?
Not at allSounds as though you are, though.
You’ll get a few with that.I thought haaland was absolutely shite I thought he was better than that his first touch is awful Alvarez looked much better looks like a real typical Argentinian hope I'm wrong about haaland but I've been watching city for 45 years and that is the worst debut I've ever seen
Yeah, but the more you see it, the more it looks like a keeper punching a low cross away. And it was our handball that they decided needed another look? Complete bollocks (the officials, not your comment).Think the rule is if you’re putting your hand down to stop you falling and the balls hits it it’s not a pen
Not 100% on that but think so
You would think in this day and age you can choose your commentary….quite simple to do from a technology perspective. But like you, I only tune in at KO and have to mute the commentary.Can’t remember the last game I watched without having to mute it.
Just this - he was waiting for passes / crosses that were not forthcoming. It is early days though and I am certain the service will come!We all have perfectly realistic expectations of him to score 30 goals this season if our midfielders PASS HIM THE FUCKING BALL
